Milton On; The OSCAAR Outlaw Super Late Model season opens this weekend, and John Fletcher already sounds like a guy who needs a day off. Then again, he may be relieved to finally spend a little time in a race car. John Fletcher and his Team JNE Consulting are opening their 2006 Season this Sunday at Flamboro Speedway near Hamilton and after an off season of rebuilding and preparing cars for other competitors it will be nice to strap himself in the 2006 Team JNE Consulting Chevy for a nice Sunday afternoon romp. The very familiar 1/3 mile Flamboro Speedway plays host to race 1 of 14 and home of many of John’s victory’s over the years.

“I’m very excited to get back racing and challenge the 49 team for the title.” John was also asked to comment on the new crop of rookies, his rivals, sponsors and the series.

Q. OSCAAR – How has it changed a how do you feel you fit in as a competitor, mentor and challenger for each race win?
John – Wow, We have raced everything in Ontario and the series has made tremendous strides to be the premier race series in Ontario, If not Canada. To help the up and comer’s with there cars is great, we are all racing out there and as the get better we all will be better. My business is to race and win.

Q. Rival Rob Clarke or Jeff Hanley?
John – I have the utmost respect for both guys, Rob and I can go wheel to wheel for 50 Laps and know I will get raced the same as I race him. Jeff is the same and we will miss him in 2006 but he will be back.

Q. As in NASCAR there seems to be a good crop of rookies every year?
John – Like NASCAR the good young talent wants to race the fastest and best series they can and if they see OSCAAR as that then that is great.

Q. Your Crew?
John – Next Question….. No but seriously I would not race as much or as good without the guys we have on the team.

Q. Sponsors?
John - JNE Consulting has been a sponsor come true, they love the sport and have great company support of what we need as a team. All our sponsors have great products or services that we go after because we use them.

Q. Media Coverage in Ontario.
John – We take for granted that media people who cover NASCAR, CART or F1 should cover us but we have to give them reasons to want to. The fans know what we can do as a series but it is up to the teams to make sure we do what we can to allow any type of media to want to cover us.

Q. 2006 season predictions.
John – The Championship, I could go the year without winning a race if we can give the championship to JNE.
