The MitiGator Ford will be displaying its commemorative paint scheme at the North Wilkesboro Speedway

The MitiGator Ford Fusion had a dissapointing run at Bristol Motor Speedway on September 11th. It was pretty disappointing as the car was only able to finish 40 laps due to a blown head gasket. However, repairs have been made and a lot of hard work has gone into the car. The next race is one that the entire Gibson Motorsports team has been looking forward to for some time. It will be the first race back at the legendary North Wilkesboro Speedway. The race is this Sunday October 3rd, the brushy mountain 250 will be the first time there has been racing in October at North Wilkesboro since the track closed its doors back in 1996. This is extremely special to me as I can’t wait to race at the track, I was there in 1996 sitting on the front stretch when the last Cup race was held at the 3/4mile speedway.

So come out and watch the MitiGator Ford Fusion, we are still trying to verify if the speedway is going to have wi-fi. But if we get the thumbs up we will be doing a live webcast from the pits. Check our Twitter feed for updates. And we’ll see you at North Wilkesboro!

A blown head gasket sidelined the MitiGator Ford at Bristol

Well we thought that the bad luck had left the MitiGator Ford Fusion after a 6th place run 2 weeks ago at Concord Speedway, but unfortunately we were wrong. When the MitiGator Ford Fusion unloaded this past weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway, the team had high hopes as not only were they unloading a new sept 11 commemorative paint scheme, but the team felt like they had a really good chance at winning. However a blown head gasket during practice would force the team to start the race but have to pull in after a few laps.

It was extremely disappointing, but we still were able to get a live webcast up and running and we had a bunch of fans on the broadcast. Up next this week is the MitiGator Powerboat as it will compete at Atlantic city this weekend. We are going to get some on-board video from the event! Also this week we are testing our new MitiGator Equipped ATV seat and are also going to get some video to show the results. Make sure you subscribe to our youtube stream and check back next week to see the results!

It was a cold morning yesterday at Hickory Motor Speedway. But we needed to get out and test the #13 Mitigator Ford Fusion that is going to be used at the Nascar Legends race on March 20th. We ended the 2009 season on such a run of good finishes that we were sad to see it end. But we are hoping that we can carry that momentum into 2010. Our season kicks off March 27th at Gresham Motorsports Park.

Up next is the a test session at Bristol Motor Speedway. Bristol is the world’s fastest half-mile. We are going to be shooting some video from inside the car and from the track to show you a unique perspective of the high banks of Bristol. Check back here on Monday to see the video from the test.

Enjoy the video!
