The Winslow Motorsports team loaded up Saturday morning and headed back to East Carolina Motor Speedway where Eric finished 2nd last weekend looking for the win this weekend. The team took to the track on Thursday for practice and worked on the car to make it better for the race. Eric got some good feed back and made the necessary adjustments to car that he felt like would give him the best chance to get the win. During the practice on Saturday after the noon track temperatures climbed to almost 120 degrees which left all the cars sliding around the track. After the drivers meeting the team collected the race tires from impound and went out for the last practice before qualifying. Eric was last to go out during the qualifying round and clocked in 6th out of the 8th. When the green flag flew Eric settled in the 6th spot to conserve his tires for the end. Things started to heat up with the 3rd, 4th,and 5th place drivers as Eric made his move to the front. By lap 37 Eric was on the bumper of the 57 car and by lap 41 made the pass for 4th when the caution came out on lap 43.The caution was for the 28 car that got into Eric and spun out. Eric would restart 4th with 16 laps to go but it was the beginning of the end for the 22 chevy as the tires lost all grip and it was all Eric could do to bring the car home to a 4th place finish. Stay tuned for schedule updates in the upcoming week and don’t forget about our sponsorship packages and t-shirts in any size in stock now.

Fun night back at ECMS

Sunday June 14th 2009

Eric and the Winslow Motorsports team knew just the way to give two of the crew members, Bryan Everette and Phillip Barnes a good birthday present by finishing 2nd in the teams return to the East Carolina Motor Speedway. During the practice Saturday afternoon the #22 Monte Carlo was all over the racetrack. The team put a whole different setup in the car after leaving Coastal Plains, but ended up returning back to the same setup on two year old tires. Eric drove the car a little too hard in qualifying clocking in at a 16.05 that was good enough for 4th fastest in the 9-car field. When the green flag flew Eric fell back in the field to ride before the car went south on lap 12 of the 75-lap race. The team got a much-needed caution and came in to make adjustments. On lap 24 Eric and the #75 car got together causing a slow leak in left front. Eric was still free off the corner right before a car spun in front of him bringing out a caution and sending the crew back to work on the next pit stop. When Eric restarted he had a great side-by-side battle with the #28 car. The team wanted to make adjustment before lap 50 when teams could only change 2 tires and fuel with no adjustments during a special caution. They got what they wanted and restarted 3rd for the final 25 lap shootout. The caution flag flew for the final time with 7 laps to go and Eric came in for one final round of adjustments before restarting 5th and getting by the #75 car on his way to the runner up finish. The car finally started to come around to him at the end but the leader was to far away. The team was confident that they could have contended for the win with another caution. "We woulda had something for them." Eric stated at the end. "Hopefully we can get sponsors and we'll be here next weekend." Winslow Motorsports looks to run at South Boston Speedway when they have twin races and make a few more appearances at Coastal Plains Raceway and ECMS during the 2009 campaign. Eric and the Winslow Motorsports team would like to thank all the fans, track officials, and David Roebuck at East Carolina Motor Speedway for putting on a fun and great event Saturday Night.

Jacksonville Race Recap

Sunday June 7th 2009

Eric Winslow and the crew returned to the track where they made a name for themselves last year in the Late Model Division. On a misty and overcast day at Coastal Plains Raceway the team battled a slick racetrack, which in turn made the car hard to handle. Eric had to get the car dialed in during the first practice and after some adjustments got the car to where it felt good. During the second practice the team put the race tires on but did not realize the left side tires where bad due to the slick track conditions that caused problems for other teams. Eric had a strong qualifying run clocking in 5th out of the 14 cars for the 60-lap event. After the drop of the green flag the car was terrible loose and Eric started falling back by lap 10 and needed the whole track to race someone. Eric finished in the 8th spot one lap down to the field. "The left side tires were junk," Eric stated. "We have got some work to do." Winslow Motorsports will be back at the track June 20th for the UARA race with sponsorship still available for the race.

Plans for the Remaining Season

Sunday April 26th 2009
As many of you know we had a engine blow at SoBo during the season opener. That was a big setback for Winslow Motorsports after just having that engine rebuilt for this year. The oil pump is what caused our motor issues, we didn't turn to many rpm's or anything like that , Just one of them things. We are expecting to have the engine back to race on May 9th. Not having much financial help is going to limit our schedule at SoBo quite a bit for 09 so we will be picking select dates for the remainder of the year. What will happen after May 9th remains to be seen. One race on the schedule that we will be attending is the Uara Stars at Coastal Plains Raceway Park on June 20th. I'm excited about returning to CPR and seeing how we stack up against some of the stars in Uara. I really have to thank my crew , fans & sponsors for understanding and helping us get back going after this engine problem. This has been a tough pill for us to swallow. Thanks

South Boston Race Report

Sunday March 21st 2009

Winslow Motorsports finally made their debut at South Boston Speedway Saturday afternoon in the NASCAR Late Model Stock Car Division. Despite turning some fast laps in the morning practices Eric and the crew fell victim to a blown engine on lap 36. Eric battled a tight handling racecar in the corners during the morning practice sessions and the team made a few adjustments to free him up a little. After the drivers meeting it was time to qualify for the first race of the season. Eric clocked in 17th fastest in the 24-car field leaving a lot on the table. When the green flag flew the team was confident in a good run out of the 83 Chevrolet. By the time the caution flew on lap 6 Eric was still maintaining his 17th place position. Eric held his own behind car 03 trying to save the car and be around and have a chance at a good finish in the end. But on lap 36 after reporting to the crew that he was coming into pit next time by the 83 lost power in turn 4 and heading into turn 1 the engine blew up causing a 24th place finish. The team loaded up the car disappointed after all the hard work that had been put in to the car during the off-season. The crew arrived back in Scotland Neck late Saturday night and began to take the motor out of the racecar finding a hole in the oil pan and a broke rod. Just a couple of hours later the engine was out and will be evaluated this week. The team would like to thank all the sponsors, crewmembers, family and friends that have supported us so far is year, Thank you.

South Boston Practice Report

Sunday March 8th 2009

Eric Winslow hit the track for the first time at South Boston Speedway in his # 83 Chevrolet Late Model on Saturday. Eric was able to run quite a few laps through out the day on two-year-old tires and was able to get a good handle on the car. After a few minor adjustments after lunch Eric recorded some of his fastest laps of the day under 16.00 seconds. Later on in the afternoon practice session the team established that the car was not up to par possibly due to an old clutch. The team decided to pack up and head back home to solve the problem before the first race this coming up Saturday. Although it was an unseasonable warm day as temperatures reached the lower 80s, which will probably not happen again until late April, the early forecast looks to be much colder for raceday on Saturday.
