This week, we look at the career of one of Georgia's great Open Wheel racers over at Georgia Racing History.com .

Georgia's Herman Wise was a southern boy who traveled north to take on the Sprint Car greats. He not only faced off against them he won - and won often. He was also a terror in Super Modifieds across Georgia and the rest of the Southeast.

This week, Mike Bell tells us the story of a Southeast Sprinter, Herman Wise, over at Georgia Racing History.com .

In other news, Gresham Motorsports Park reminds us of the days when racers would compete mid-week by slating Wednesday night races over the next several weeks. Much like the old days when drivers would race several times a week at tracks like Athens Speedway, Banks County Speedway, Toccoa Speedway and the Peach Bowl, racers will get a chance to compete mid-week. See more at our sister site, Raceweek Illustrated.com .

Happy Birthday wishes go out this week belatedly on June 6 to Frances Flock, on July 9 to Mark Thompson, on July 10 in memory of Adam Petty (1980-2000) and on July 12 in memory of Jimmy Crawford (1944-2007).Thanks everybody, and have a great week!
