Selling Out, but Hopefully not Retiring!
By Robbin Slaughter - GROVE CITY OH (10-9-08) - Most of you probably don't know but a couple of months ago I made the decision to sell out at the end of this season. The expenses versus what there is the potential to take in are just way out of proportion. It has finally reached the point where I can't even justify it in my own mind.

Ever since I made that decision I have been thinking about what it will be like heading into the last race of the season. When I sold out the last time at the end of the 2003 season I knew that I was going to do some races in 2004 with the Robert Locke ARCA Re/Max Series team and maybe some truck series races so I knew I would be racing something. At this point I want to keep driving but the reality is I have nothing lined up for 2009 and after twenty nine years of driving it is a little scary......

Salem Speedway, a Very Special Place
GROVE CITY OH (9-11-08) - Salem Indiana Speedway has been in my top three favorite tracks (along with Winchester & Toledo) ever since our first race there in September 1999. I was fortunate to be seated at the same table with track owners Owen and Beverly Thompson at the 2000 ARCA RE/MAX Series banquet and really enjoyed talking to them about the track, its history and racing in general. It didn't take long to figure out they are very passionate about their track and are a hard working couple! On top of that Owen bought my last ARCA Pro-4 car and raced it for many years in his track's 4 cylinder division! There are numerous reasons why Salem is a special place to us and I would like to share a few of them.

SPRINGFIELD IL (8-15-08) - At 8 am Friday morning 5 ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series officials and our illustrious PR guy set out on a 420 mile journey to Springfield, Illinois for the Saturday running of the Best Western Challenge - on a mile dirt track.

The journey, as we like to call it, kind of reminds me of the grass roots style of racing that we have all come to love.

We all usually travel in one vehicle along with all the equipment needed to put on the show. We usually get meals to go so we can get back on the road.

DELAWARE ON (8-1-08) - ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series veteran Nick Gullatta out-dueled veteran Steve Christman during a late-race battle to win the curfew-shortened Lincoln Welders 100 Friday night at Delaware Speedway in Delaware, Ontario.

Gullatta, in Stan Rosen's Thomson Automotive-Mr. Heater-Enerco Chevrolet, edged Christman at the final stripe by a half-length to earn the hard-fought victory, his seventh series triumph of his career.

"It's always a lot of fun racing with Steve (Christman)", said Gullatta. "He's a veteran; I knew he would race me hard, but I also knew he would race me clean."

NEWTON IA (7-20-08) - When it comes to the ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series these days, Canton, Michigan's Paul Hahn has nary a challenger.

That proved true again Sunday afternoon at Iowa Speedway where Hahn, in his father Rick Hahn's no. 7 Hahn's Powder Coating-Fox Auto Parts-Howe Racing Chevy Colorado, raced from last to first to win the inaugural ARCA Lincoln Welders 50.

The victory was Hahn's sixth of the season after nine events and his 21st career series triumph, placing the 2006 series champion just three wins shy of Chad Guinn's all-time victory mark of 24.

XENIA OH (7-11-08) - Canton, Michigan's Paul Hahn padded his point lead with yet another victory in the ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series Friday night at Kil-Kare Raceway in Xenia, Ohio.

The win places Hahn just four victories shy of Chad Guinn's all-time victory mark of 24. Hahn also inched closer to Jeff Speakman's all-time mark of 14 poles after Hahn earned his 12th career 2BKool Quick Time award earlier in the day.

SAUBLE BEACH ON (6-21-08) - Apparently, there's no stopping Paul Hahn, at least for now. The Canton, Michigan native nailed down his fourth consecutive ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series (ALWTS) victory Saturday night at Sauble Speedway in Sauble Beach, Ontario.

SAUBLE BEACH ONTARIO (6-19-08) - Much has been said regarding the ARCA RE/MAX Series upcoming venture to Cayuga Motor Speedway in Nelles Corners, Ontario. And rightly so; it's been more than 15 years since the renowned national tour has raced in Canada.

However, the ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series has been a frequent flyer in Canada since 2005; and it's getting ready to return this weekend - to Sauble Speedway in Sauble Beach, Ontario where the red carpet treatment awaits each and every traveling trucker making the Canadian trek.

FLAT ROCK MI (5-30-08) - A very tight championship points battle and a very worthwhile cause highlight the story lines this Saturday, May 31st at Flat Rock Speedway where ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series (ALWTS) teams will converge on the historic, quarter-mile oval for the Heritage Newspapers 100.

ANDERSON IN (3-25-08) - Anderson Speedway has been a thorn in the side of Stan & Judi Rosen's R&D Racing ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series team and its driver Nick Gullatta for the past two seasons. 

In 2006, Gullatta's rookie season, the race was rained out and never rescheduled. In 2007, the team suffered a blown engine before taking any serious laps. 

"We can't afford another bad showing at Anderson," said Gullatta.
