The extremely popular CARQUEST Gasoline Alley TV/Internet Show continues to prepare for the upcoming 3rd Annual IRCO Sponsored Dirt Track Heroes Show at the Phillipsburg Mall and will usher in another tremendous lead-in show to the Mall event as they play host to another exciting edition of their show on March 1st and have secured another blockbuster show for the racing fans to enjoy.

The Gang is well into their seventh year on the airwaves and are well noted for their much acclaimed "theme" show format and will host the 464th edition of their show since they hit the airwaves and their 252nd show since joining forces with the party channel at WALN Digital Cable and "Happy Jack" Burns on Channels 103 and 137.

With all shows hitting the top of the charts with the tremendous amount of talent being interviewed, last week's show with four of the top Modified legends who competed locally, received much attention as more than 250 emails and phones calls arrived at the studio offices regarding the great show. The Gang will shift directions a bit this week and showcase three drivers who have gained much attention with their racing prowess. Kicking off the interviews will be "RJ" Ronnie Johnson who will join the Gang for a first time interview to talk about his successful racing career, his legendary famous Dad Jack Johnson and the paving of the Albany Saratoga race track that will have "RJ" seeking a new home for his Friday night racing activities. Following in the second interview will be the Rookie of the Year in 2009 at the Angell Park Speedway and Badger Midget Racing Association Courtney Erfurth, who is a third generation driving star, and Courtney will explain her desire to become a driver in following in her family's footsteps and the success she gained with being a first year racer. Courtney will also bring us up to date with the recent disagreement betweeen the Angell Park track and the BMRA group that will find each heading into a different direction in 2010. The final interview will be with the legendary Sprint Car racing Hall of Famer Norman "Bubby" Jones as the "Bubster" will take everyone on a racing journey that began in Danville, Illinois in 1960 and ended with his final sprint car win in the early 1990's. Jones is a former Promoter of the Year, a former Mechanic of the Year and still today continues to share his expertise in mentoring the very talented Blake Fitzpatrick on the Midwest Sprint Car circuits. Jones entered into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1998 and is one of the true great barnstormer racers of his era. Miss WALN Digital Cable Radio Vicky Kidd will join the Gang for this edition of the show and will control the chat room throughout the two hour show and talk about the role she plays with the many remotes and shows she is involved with the Polka King himself "Happy" Jack Burns.
