Where are they now? - Late Models - 7/17/06

I see the modifieds have a "where are they now" thread so what about the late models? I'll start it. Anybody know what Bill Eastman Jr. is up to? He had such a good rookie year what happened to him?

[debbie33]

He and his family moved upstate and own a repair shop. He has run Mountain a few times in his modified.

Actually, we do have a where are they now segment for Late Models and our first participant was Sean Egan...

Good suggestion with Billy Eastman... I know a little bit of where Bill is, but I'll let our visitors answer as they probably know more in-depth about Bill's whereabouts...

Don't they own Wayne Anderson's Escort bodied Troyer from like 1984? It's nice to know that the old cars still run. His dad can build some race car.

He ran modifieds? I only remember him in the late models.

We're working on updating our database with historic results... So far only Modifieds and Super Pro Trucks are completed.

But that should give you a little idea of what Eastman has competed in recently...

Yes, I was impressed with his driving style for being only 16. I really thought he could do something big at Riverhead.

I agree, in the short tenure Billy had at Riverhead, he ran well (his old man did a great job at wrenching the car too). From my understanding they still have the Modified, I would hope they would try their hand at the RoC Tour sometime.
