The era of "do-it-yourselfers" in NASCAR is like a dying breed. These days, you have engine builders and chassis builders suppling the parts needed to race teams. This season, one driver won't need the help of a builder. Keith Minchella will be competing in the Limited Late Models, though with friend Vincent Balboni, they'll have everything built themselves.
Advantage? Building everything yourself saves money. And they'll have more knowledge about what's going on with the car.
Minchella had been registered to race in the 2008 season, but work obligations and his daughter racing in the kart series on Mondays changed those plans.
He's also raced all over New England, including Riverside, Thompson, Waterford, and Monadnock. But this season will be his first at Stafford.
After my hiatus since May, I've decided on a new lease on life. I've re-emerged from the dark layers of hell with a new location for all things VFT1.
