Brock Oglesby



Brock Oglesby... Remember the name. You'll probably be seeing it, and hearing it again in the weeks and months to come, even though he just turned 15.

No, he's not a Spelling Bee champion, although he's an A Student. And although he tips the scales at just over 100 pounds, he's not an up and coming Thoroughbred jockey.

Oglesby is a different type jockey, wrestling a 2,700 pound Super Late Model race car around the asphalt with the best of those twice and even three-times his age.

Still a year away from being able to get a drivers license, Oglesby has long had a license to race and the trophies to prove it.

The Anatomy of a Race Car Driver

I was asked by someone to write a story about what it is like to be a race car driver. So I thought I would give you what I think is the Anatomy of a race car driver.

First you need to understand what racing is. Auto racing is the showing of one's human competitive nature, while operating a machine. Let me explain...

Have you ever rode in a go-kart at a public track or amusement park?( if you haven't, you probably should not be reading this) Your competitive nature takes over and you drive that go-kart like you were at Daytona!

Competitive nature is in all of us, we all want to win. I have always said, "Anyone can drive, we all have the ability, but when you take your common curiosity a little too far, and get in a racing kart, motorcycle, or race car, then its all over."

Xtreme Fantasy League

Wesley Mills holds the lead for one week and takes the plunge along with Dale Jarrett. Billy Register in his second season with the league takes over the top spot for the first time and goes into the fifth race with Dale Jarrett. John Boyer is the first player to pick two winners this early in the season and he done it in back to back weeks. Hmm, wonder if he knows something we don't know. League owner Ronnie Bacelo has moved two of his picks into the top ten, his picks are in the 7th and 10th positions. No Bull players Tom Raiser and Corey Crisafulli have gotten headed in the wrong direction 16th and 22nd respectively. Harrisburg's Gerry Cook took a steep fall in the standings with his Michael Waltrip pick for Atlanta. Naple's hotshoe Scott Kleiber is making a silent move to the front advancing 24 spots in the last two weeks. Players you need to watch this guy! Late Model Stock standout Ryan Thigpen making his move to the top taking an 8 spot jump this week. Former All Pro Champion Billy Bigley Jr gained several spots this week and feels that T. Stewart will be the man to beat this week! Let's see how right he is. Barefoot Motorsports also made a move to the front gaining 8 spots as well. Oscar Holmes and Rob "Bonehead" Elting seem to have taken over the tail end of the field. I wonder if someone needs to tell them that "LAST" pays nothing. Goodluck to all players this week as we head into the 5th race of the season.

Bonehead's BottomLine

How Do I Become a Racecar Driver?

So you want to be a racecar driver? Well I will tell ya. The first thing you will need is lots of money! .......... However you can get it!

That's basically the way to become a racecar driver. Buy a car and race it at your local track. The days of a long lineup of car owners are way overshadowed by the long line of wannabe racecar drivers.
