An incredible last day at @playsandys! I had to grab a pic with @samanthagperry @ToddTTV & @TVsMichaelJoyce before taking back off to Iowa!
Thank you for all the kind messages and to the Sandy Ridge staff for trusting me in being your track announcer!
See you next year! 👋
The trailer races this Saturday, July 25 @HallCountyFair are just as fun at low speeds as they are at high speeds. FREE admission. This year the grandstand seating faces east. Big BBQ contest before. All at Fonner Park. @SeeGrandIsland

Mary was G1. She was Ladie's Secret, Azeri, Monique Rene, Halo America, and so much more. She was an old school class act. May her sweetness and sincerity be remembered and emulated by all. Such a warm heart and kind soul. Thank you Mary. Your difference was felt. @DRFLivingston
Lots I didn’t know about Ms. Rampellini. The portrait that emerges - a full life well lived. Took no time for anyone with a heart to feel her care for others. Her brother here shows how much feeling her family has for her, too. Condolences. RIP Mary.

Fonner Park named 2026 Grand Island, NE Business of the Year. Hooray! We could not have done this without my strong staff and board. THANK YOU! @giaedc_chamber @SeeGrandIsland @CityofGI @FonnerRacing @nationalhbpa
Rock on! And MOOOOOOOOOVE over.
Out with the old and in with the new. Or do it all at once. A synchronized flip, and a thing of beauty. Another cattle show will load in tomorrow. I am so proud of my crew. GI Expo rocks! @giexpoevents @FonnerRacing @SeeGrandIsland @CityofGI @giaedc_chamber
It's Junior National time in Grand Island at the GI Expo hosts the Maine AnjouChianina cattle show. It's also bath time.

Kelly is Fon Rockstar!!! Just watch her hustle daily to and from the winners circle - and well beyond. Stunning Tangerine!
Tangerine! Just like the song lyrics... senoritas stare and caballeros sigh.
This is Kelly who orchesrates Fonner group sales. She always knows how to embrace and enhance the celebration. @FonnerRacing

This Friday, participate in the Fon Shootout after the races. Pay $50 per-shot and shoot from the finish line. The closest to the 1/16th pole (110 yards away) splits the total pot. Last year $900 went to the winner (TJ Gnuse) and $900 to local Veterans Relief Fund. @FonnerRacing
