World Finals Preview
Trick or treat? — Tonight most of us will hear those famous words as our houses are visited by numerous children celebrating Halloween. When the 2011 season began, most people would have said that Jason Meyers and the Elite Racing team were getting a trick. After all, it did take until July for the team to notch their first win of the season. Then again, the past month it has been all treats with the run of 5 consecutive victories and the team having a run of 14 top-5 finishes that has been going since Skagit Speedway at the beginning of September. Before the true “treats” begin, it is time to celebrate the holiday. This leaves us with the question, what Halloween costume would Jason Meyers choose if he was going to dress up and take his two girls tick-or-treating?
