Page 4 of Newsday has a nice article on the Blunderbust Jessica's . Nice to see the Blunders get some press . Riverhead Raceway on page 4 , Beautiful. Wish Newsday would do that more often.

Accompanied by a nice picture and headline on the front cover, no less...NICE!!!

I met the guy who wrote this article, and actually spoke with him at some length. Very nice guy. I think he would have even given them more press all around, but in the newspaper world, you're limited by space and your editor. Nice job by Newsday, though. And good luck to all...

As a side note, if we are all in agreement that positive press is good for everyone involved, it couldn't hurt to drop Newsday a quick line and just say "thanks" or "nice job." Positive acknowledgement goes a long way, and it wouldn't take you any longer than it takes to log on to your myspace page and send a comment to one of your friends.

Monday in Newsday's Part II Jessica Larsen will appear wearing some racing apparel as well. Today's story was only an add on at the last minute.

It was a cold afternnon for the photo shoot. Over 2 1/2 hours of photos and video. A big Thank you to the Chirico's for the use of the garage and driveway. Also a big thank you to Tommy Rogers who finsihed the lettering just in time that afternoon's shoot.

Nice job by Newsday.

Let's also remember that the article mentions Erin Dumicich and Kathleen Hallock, both of whom will be competing this season in the Super Pro Truck series at Riverhead. We at LI Jam welcome all four young ladies and wish them well. :)

Nice article and pictures in todays Newsday. Good luck to the girls in the upcoming season. Sorry but we do have a little favoritism for one of the girls and we will be there to cheer you on each week.

A lot of people have been thanked in other posts, but everyone needs to give Linda Larsen a BIG thanks for organizing the photo shoot and interviews. This may open the door for future exposure for all drivers.

If I had a garage and a crew, I would be out there everyweek showing the guys that the girls can do just as well as they do. I used to work on the #61 Blunderbust and if I absorbed half the stuff he taught me, I would be just as competitive as the boys.
