“We had some other plans lined up for this weekend but we made some last minute changes” said Colton Flinner, “We wanted to head to Georgia again for a big FASTRAK event, but we decided to head to Pittsburgh instead…we are still trying to figure some things out as a team…we have been having a lot of bad luck with pill draws lately as well…hopefully staying close to home this weekend will allow us to build some momentum, and hopefully earn our first win.”
On Sunday evening, May 5th, Colton Flinner and his American Framers, Vox Energy, A.W. Beattie Career Center, no. 75 crate late model team have potential plans to head north to the Eriez Speedway in Erie, Pennsylvania for their ‘opening night’ program presented by Coors Light. The crate powered FASTRAK Pro Late Models are a part of weekly competition each and every Sunday night the Erie oval; co-headlining with the ever popular super late models.

Gates are scheduled to open 4:00PM at Eriez Speedway on Sunday, May 5th; with racing slated to begin at 5:30PM. For more information, please check out the speedway online at www.eriez-speedway.com.
“Eriez is the plan for Sunday as of now” explained Flinner, “We haven’t been there in a while and our last visit wasn’t very good for us…there are a lot of big shows coming up in the next few weeks so hopefully we can work the bugs out this weekend and get ourselves ready…I can’t thank all of my supporters and sponsors enough…everyone that is behind this team works really hard and I appreciate that so much…hopefully I can repay the favor and earn them a win!”
