Cybulski Flips

(Winnipeg, MB) Following a nine-year run,
Greg Cybulski's popular dirt track racing column "Dirt from the Stands"
is coming to an end.
“Like any great ride, nothing lasts
forever and I feel that now is the right time to close this chapter of
my life in racing”, said Cybulski, a dedicated dirt track racing
fan, promoter, and writer.
“I've decided to concentrate my
energies on the newest chapter of my life in racing as the Director of
Media Relations for the Northern Lightning Sprint Association.”
The Prairie Dirt reporter will continue to
post comments and regional racing news on his blog. In a world where
the local dirt track scene often suffers from inadequate media
coverage, Cybulski’s commitment to continue blogging brings great
news to the racing community.
“I am also looking into other aspects
of the local dirt track racing scene right now. My writing and
promotional experiences over the past 6 years with the Sprint Cars in
western Canada has been an amazing journey and I will always be there
to support it, however, this year appears to be a good time to step
back and concentrate on other matters that are important to me,”
commented Cybulski.
"I would like to thank Sprints&Midgets
webmaster Don McAuley for supporting me in starting my column. To the
webmasters who posted my writings over the years and the fans who took
the time to read "Dirt from the Stands", I thank you all."
"I would also like to thank my editors of
the past nine years, especially Beth Steenhoek, Darren Pallen and Vicki
James, who proof-read and offered advice for my columns before I
released them. Their input made something good even better."

pilot the car until son Steven turns 14 years of age in August.
Scott has raced for 12 years mostly in the Super Stock class, winning
over 60 features including back-to-back Balcaen Memorial Super Stock
Specials. The current owner of SMD Motorsports looks forward to racing
with the NLSA in the spring of 2010.
