Not who do you think will win. But who do you WANT to win?

And not saying the TC or Todd are officially out, but if it is down to two, who would you want?

One big vote for Ryan Preece here.

either one. Ryan is one of the nice young guys out there, and I'll never forget Donny offering us his backup car at the World Series after we destroyed ours. BOTH would bring the series positive attention.

Nothing against Donny but Ole Blue and Ryan Preese all the way. Kid has a ton of talent and really has his head screwed on right I think. Going to be interesting either way.

Donny Lia. I think he is under appreciated on this tour. He has done amazing things with this Mystic Missle Team in his last 2 full seasons with them. Many, many other drivers drove this car and never won a Championship, Donny has one and I hope he gets his second. Good Luck to all that still have a chance. Plus I'm a Long Island guy and other than Wayne Anderson in Ole Blue we haven't had many tour championships down here.

I agree with the one post above in that it is great to see two old modified owner/teams going for the gold.

But not being one to sit on the fence.... I'll be pulling for Ryan and ol' Blue! Ryan is a good young man. He took the time to talk with my then 10yr old son at the Shootout a couple yrs ago when he ran his own black #40 modified. He gave my son one of his signed T-shirts that day and Adam has pulled for him ever since. Can't say that I haven't been pulling for him myself.

It seems like with Ryan's youth and talent he will be leaving the mods soon and it would be nice for him to get a title but I have been pulling for Donny all season. Either way I hope it's a great finale!

I'll pull for the kid, would love to see his talent and the '96 Lenny car rewarded with a championship....

.. but - Lia has been on fire and that 4 car is stout - unless he runs into a problem (love tap from TC aside), I see the Mystic Missile team celebrating their 2nd tour crown.

Preece, of course. Although they will not be running the last remaining "Lenny" car at Thompson. The new car was completed over the winter. Still gotta admire what this team accomplishes. That car is just about totally fabricated by these guys in a small shop. A true testament to the crews ability and know-how, and of course Preece's driving. To me, it's a win for the small guys running the tour when BRE wins the championship. Go BRE # 3 !!!!!!!!

Preece ... for the benefit of the tour; in Lenny's memory and a thin-string team; and for a young man who has/will carry himself well. Now that Szegedy is out, no horse in the race nor any issue with Lia (other than Mystic dumping Hoss, but I'm not bitter ...). Go for it #3 team.

It's weird to see "LI MOD MANIAC" rooting so hard against a Long Islander. I announced at the Riverhead Tour show and walked through that pit area and the only driver to ask who you were so he could personally thank you for adding to the purse was Donny Lia. I'm not saying that no one else thanked you but he came to myself and Bob Finan to find out who you were, just to say thanks. I say pretty classy. To bring up Coby from a few years ago, not so much......Good luck to both drivers both teams, and may the best man win.

As for everyone talking about the "shoestring" budget on the 3???? Think again, the Preece family has put plenty of money into that team, how much is a good Ford engine?? They have at least 1. Again money well spent, the kid has done a great job, but I don't know how much of a David vs. Goliath this thing is. When Santos was in it, that was a shoestring budget.These folks have spent money to go fast, and good for them if they have it.

Again good luck to both teams, I'm pulling for the guy from Long Island.

Actually, the ford engine has been in there all along. Big john, the name on the side of the car, is who brings the Ford engine to the 3 car, not the preeces. Preeces Let the 3 team use the Truck and trailer and tire expenses.

I think what this post proves its a group effort. The Bohler Family, the Preece Family , Big Johm who has supported this sport for many years, and their sponsors.

Good luck to both drivers, both teams worked hard all year and both teams will will have lots of people pulling for them.

Lets have a good, fast , safe race and a great weekend of weather.

See you all there.

I'm sure that Garbarino/Lia fabricates their own bodies, chassis, spindles, hoods mounts etc. Yeah right !!!. The Boehler car probably creates more of its own components than anyone else on the tour. And the BRE chassis design is like no other on the tour, and it works. No Troyer cookie cutter stuff here. Sure you gotta have a big buck motor, if you don't, you cannot compete. I'd venture to say that the #3, has alot less invested than 98% of the others. Go Preece !!!!!

Someone sounds a little bitter. Could it be because TC self destructed after leading the points for 11 out of the 13 races this season? And it will be sad if TC does wreck Donny because based on your post, it will just show that the 3 car couldn't win on his own.

I have been a fan of The Mystic Missile v4 Racing Team since Tim Connolly was their driver . I respect the fact that Donny Lia has brought the team it's only NASCAR Whelen Modified Series Championship . But with that said i am not at all a fan of his and do not like the way he acts and presents himself . With that said and being my opinion going into the final race of the season i am heavily rooting for the BRE Racing Ole Blue #3 piloted by Ryan Preece . JMO







I am still wishing that Steve Park , Sheba Racing along with Sunoco race fuels will get the band back together someday. :help:

if lia wrecks it his own fault. if u cant take it then dont do it urself then complain about it make the other guy seem bad wen it was ur own fault

I will be heavily rooting for ryan. He's a great kid, is very respectful, andif not for two mechanical problems this year, would be walking away with this title. Not to mention he's sorta dating my girlfriends daughter.

Having said that, Lia is gonna be hard to beat because it is impossible to beat luck. He was not supposed to even race at spencer, and due to rain was able to make it. His car catches fire at loudon, but also they give him two free passes under caution. I can see one per race, but two, that's BS. And i don't realy appreciate his attitude or his bonzai tactics in the car.

Trying to stir the pot up a bit , don't get your panties all bunched up . Just like to see Lia get back what he did to TC in 2005 that cost him the championship but I guess it was ok then . I will bring extra tartar sauce .

Sorry, wishing for wrecks of any drivers, TC, Lia anyone just doesn't fly with me sorry. I have seen too many drivers get hurt and worse at Thompson.

I think many on here would agree with me.

And if you think belive it was OK if Lia did to TC what you say (I did not see it) I don't like when anyone does it.

Leave the sauce home, its going to be a good clean race!!
