Burkart to defend...

Just checked the entry list for the Toyo Tires Nationals in PA. I was glad to see that Phil is coming back to try & make it 2 Wallys in a row there. Seems to be another arrangement with Paul Smith.

Good luck!

Cool! I saw him this year In Gainesville. I wonder If he has the same sponsor?I think It was Kia.

Thumbs up Re: Burkart to defend...

Yeppers; Phil is back with the same deal as in G'ville.


The story was on compplus yesterday; now the story is gone!?!?!?!?!?

This is the second time that's happened to me/compplus!!! I think the first story was also Phil related!

WTF?!?!?!

Fortunately I sent the link to Lisa (burkartfan) so I know that I'm not 100% crazy.

Here's the link but.....

Torco Racing Fuel's Competition Plus.com - Drag Racing's Internet Magazine


Good luck Phil!!!

Re: Burkart to defend...

Hmm... does this have anything to do with the recent news of Rislone dropping their sponsorship of Paul Lee? Or is there no connection whatsoever? Regardless it'll be nice to see Phil back and hope he can do as well (better would be nice!) as he did at G'Ville.

Re: Burkart to defend...


The story is now back!!!

Doug; I doubt that the 2 are connected but who knows.
My guess is that the Kia dealership (FX Caprara Kia) came up with enough money to do another event.
The "original" story stated the Kia big-wigs might be on hand at the race.


Who knows but I'm very happy for Phil, Paul Smith, & Lisa!!!

Re: Burkart to defend...

I'm thrilled for Phil! Hopefully he'll keep getting more funds to do more races and then...

Sure wish I could be there to see him race again in person though... I got so lucky that he was racing in Gainesville, which is my home race.

Re: Burkart to defend...

Is the car Phil Burkart is racing at Maple Grove the same car Jon Capps has entered at Indy?

You know what I meant. One round better than Gainesville....... Can't do much better than winning the event last year in Reading, huh?
