Mike Salinas Not Entered for Vegas 4 Wide

[qtermile14]

Does anyone know what's going on with Mike?

Mike is usually a late entry to races. I would be very surprised if he wasn't there. He committed to running the whole year.

With Gainesville, Vegas, and then Atlanta, it makes sense to maybe just keep your equipment down south and skip Vegas. He doesn’t have sponsors to answer to so they don’t have to run Vegas if it didn’t make sense. He could of had a business commitment as well. They are getting a new alcohol dragster put together and I heard Mike is also going to run pro mod in Atlanta.

" Mike Salinas, who won this event the last time it took place, in 2019, will not be on hand. He and his family are recovering from their bouts with coronavirus. "

That's a bummer for Mike and his family. Hope they recover quickly.
