Hello!

It’s one day later than promised, but we hope it’s worth it for you. Here’s a final look from LMD at the 54th annual World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing, run Feb. 7-15 at New Smyrna Speedway in Samsula FL.

Obviously the Speedweeks festivities were the focus of the most recent issue of LMD (if you haven’t seen it, click on this link or paste it into your browser: online.pubhtml5.com/fpdm/rckf/

We couldn’t include many of the photos sent to us throughout the week, so here are some more, thanks to longtime contributors Michael Fettig, Kim Kemperman, Mike Lysakowski and Todd Ridgeway.

Remember that LMD is now free to read. If you’re not on the mailing list, contact us through this site or our Facebook page. The next issue is set to be released March 6.

Enjoy the rest of your winter!
