For immediate release…
July 29, 2007. Elkhart Lake, WI. Planet 6 Racing and Team Shanty, a division of Billy Bob Racing, have joined forces to better counteract the appearance of the high-dollar racing teams that continue to show up in club racing. Their low budget appearance, including low cost canopies (some held together with racer’s duct tape) and the drivers doing their own work, bears no resemblance to their on-track performance (3 class wins, 1 second, 2 thirds at the Milwaukee Region Cat National).
When asked about Shanty Town, Planet 6 Racing owner and driver Bill Hubiak said “We were initially skeptical about this area. It seemed financially challenged and we had our concerns with respects to food and safety. However, as we got to know the area, we have come to respect the people and have found that the food here is far better than any of the catered, high dollar places. However, our safety is still of concern.”
Bob Clark, one of the founding members of Team Shanty, was also asked about the joint venture. He said “Expletive expletive expletive expletive expletive air inlet expletive expletive expletive expletive expletive expletive expletive duct expletive tape. Expletive expletive Carl expletive expletive. But, we still took third, expletive expletive expletive.” Apparently we caught him at the wrong time.
Additional members of the Milwaukee Region were asked about the combined assault on the appearance of club racing. Most comments were along the lines of “Oh great! Shanty Town is expanding? Time to move!” None of the members wished to be identified, citing reasons of safety and fear of redneck pox.
The next assault by Team Shanty is planned for the Chicago Region Kettle Moraine Double Regional in August. None of the team members would further define the dates, citing reasons of team security.

EDIT 2: By Mayoral decree, the area shall be hence forth known as Shanty Town.
