"Robbie Scott takes over the wheel..."
After a number of different drivers wheeling the D1RT Rocket over the years, the Neratka Decals Race Team is proud to announce
that Robbie Scott will take over the wheel in 2009! Scott, the Shinnston W.V. driver, has well proven his talent over his
16 years of racing. The Veteran driver has racked up many big wins among his 50 career Feature wins. The most prestigious
may be the 2005 Lucas Oil Series win at Tyler County Speedway. He has won five track Championships over his career, not to
mention his 2001 West Virginia State Championship Series Championship! He has created many highlights over the years, and
"YES" race fans, there are more to come.
The 2009 season looks to have the makings of a very exciting one. With Robbie behind the wheel, the D1RT Rocket should
be a force to be reconed with where ever it shows up! Stay on the lookout for Robbie and the Neratka Decals Race Team at a
track near you!

Not too bad after all...
The Neratka Decals Racing Team's night got off on the wrong foot Saturday night at Roaring Knob Raceway. After a bad pill
draw, the D1RT Rocket lined up 8th in the heat race. A wreck at the start of the race collected the D1RT Rocket, and Robbie
had to bring her pit side with severe front end damage before one lap was complete. Strenuous work in the pits by the team
enabled the D1RT Rocket to be repaired and take the line for the $2000 to win "Roaring 30" Feature event. Starting
26th, the Neratka Decals Race Team was only hoping for a damage free race. But, with his extreme talent behind the wheel,
Robbie rewarded them with much more! Using both the high side and low side, Robbie worked his way through the field and crossed
the finish line with a strong 7th place finish! A most impressive performance to say the least considering the strong field
of cars in attendence. The 19 spots he impoved in the race was by far the most of any driver.
Robbie, and the Neratka Decals Racing Team, will travel to Tyler County Speedway tomarrow night for the World of Outlaws
Late Model Show. Hope to see you all there!

...a BIG blow!
The Neratka Decals Race Team suffered a big blow in the World of Outlaw show at Tyler County Speedway. After qualifing 24th
out of 39 cars, Robbie drove the D1RT Rocket to a 5th place finish in the heat race. Finishing one spot shy of a transfer
spot, the D1RT Rocket would have to run a B-Main to make the Main Event. Everything was looking good in the B-Main, Robbie
had the D1RT Rocket out front leading the field. With two laps remaining, things went south in a hurry! The 460CI Gary Stanton
Mopor Power Plant left go, ending the Neratka Decals Race Team's night.
The Neratka Decals Race Team will look for better results next week. With a strong backup Gary Stanton Mopor, the D1RT
Rocket shouldn't skip a beat! Hope to see you at the races!

...not a 100%
The Neratka Decals Race Team started the night out on a good note. After drawing a good pill, Robbie lined the D1RT Rocket
up on the poll for the heat race. This is when things started to turn. Dispite winning the heat race, the D1RT Rocket just
didn't seem happy with her backup Gary Stanton Mopar Power Plant! After returning to the pits, the D1RT Rocket had a bad oil
leak and was down on power. To make things worse, the redraw for the Feature lined Robbie up 7th. From the drop of the green
flag, the D1RT Rocket just wasn't very good. With her Power Plant still not at 100 percent, Robbie struggled to do much of
anything! Also, a few drivers behind got a little impatient. After getting spun out twice, a frustrated Robbie brought the
D1RT Rocket pit side retiring for the night.
The Neratka Decals Race Team will put in some extra hours this week making sure that the D1RT Rocket is back at full strength
for this upcoming weekend. After a bad couple of races, a great run is just around the corner!

Motor problems again!
For a second time around, the D1RT Rocket had motor troubles this year! Halfway through the heat race Saturday night at Tyler
County Speedway the Gary Stanton Mopar Power Plant went sour! Motor issues has plagued the Neratka Decals Race Team this year.
The team will be putting the 4th Motor of the season in the D1RT Rocket this week! After problems with the Hershey Racing
Engines Chevy, and two Gary Stanton Mopars, the Neratka Decals Race Team will resort to their last Power Plant left. The smallest
of them all, a Gary Stanton 380 C.I. Mopar will be the horse under the D1RT Rocket. For those of you that feel that is a pretty
small motor, remember, size isn't everything, just ask the 5'2" Robbie Scott, who drives like he is 10' TALL AND BULLET
PROOF!!!
The Neratka Decals Race Team will debut the "Mighty Mopar" at Elkins Speedway this Friday Night. Come on out
and cheer on Robbie and the Neratka Decals Race Team!

...a MAJOR make-over!
After another poor night filled with bent body parts, the Neratka Decals Race Team has decided to undergo a major make-over.
To change the recent string of bad luck, and the bad luck that has seemed to plagued the team since day one, the team will
change colors and number! The car will wear a BLUE and WHITE dress. Also, the familiar #18, that fans got so custumed to see
on Robbie's cars, will grace the sides of her! The number change will be the first in a decade for the Neratka Decals Race
Team!
The Neratka Decals Race Team will unveil the "Mighty 18" in the, $5000 to win, Chuck Gear Memorial this weekend
at Elkins Speedway. Come on out and see the new look!

Done for the year!
The Neratka Decals Race Team is done for the year! After blowing up their last
motor they had, the team felt that taking the rest of the season off and regrouping was the best thing to do. The team would
like to thank all of those who supported them this year!
The Neratka Decals Race Team has big plans for next year. A new 2009 Rocket
is in the works, and the team plans to switch to Ford Power Plants! Stay tuned for future updates. Hope to see you all out
