Whew! That’s the feeling at Late Model Digest after the issue which covers the Independence Day period has been completed. (All things considered, we’re doing better than Michael Ostdiek was before he climbed out of this ARCA Midwest Tour car at Rockford; this photo also appears on the Contents page.) Anyway, subscribers have the links in their email boxes now.

Whether you’re a driver, crew member, official, sponsor or fan, we hope your racing season is going well. We know it’s going well for the roughly 20 race winners and a handful of other racers whom we contacted to put together the most recent issue, dated July 12. This list includes Preston Peltier, who won the Summer Showdown at Evergreen Speedway in Washington, and Peyton Sellers, who triumphed in the Thunder Road Harley-Davidson 200 at South Boston Speedway in Virginia. The issue has stories from events in 16 different states plus profiles of racers from a few more locations.

We will have some big things brewing at LMD starting around Labor Day. First we have to recover, so to speak, from the last big holiday. 

Thank you for your support of LMD!
