Mm-hmm.

Which then, just mentioned, headed out to the rescheduled 65th Annual Bettenhausen Memorial 100 at the Grundy County Motor Speedway in Morris, Illinois, where we saw sixers.

They have double features, surprise, surprise.

[laughs]

sure.Yeah, that's, that was awesome to see you do so well.

Um, kind of talk about the day.

You know, uh, obviously it was rescheduled from last weekend, so now we're changing and, uh, the Corn Fest in Morris was going on and so that l- you know, led to a Saturday practice, which, uh, quite a few of the guys were out there for.

But then ultimately a Sunday afternoon race, which is far different than, uh, the typical Saturday night races that, uh, the sh- short tracks kind of do.

Yeah.

So, We've got asphalt guys, and they're gearing up for their big 100-lap race here at the end of the year, the Benton Housing Classic over at Grundy County Motor Speedway in Morris, Illinois.

And we had DJ Weltmeyer on earlier, and we kind of talked to him a little bit about short races versus long races.

And, you know, he talked about how the short races, yeah, they're fun.

It was a similar scene at all five schools as yellow school buses made the reappearance for the season and students made their way into each respective building.

Enrollments for each were three hundred and nineteen for Jackson Primary, grades one and two, five hundred and twenty-two for John Kennedy, grades three to five, four hundred and fifty-eight for the middle school, grades six to eight, five hundred and eighty-five for high school, nine to twelve, and two hundred and twenty-nine at Robert Morris, which now houses preschool, universal pre-kindergarten and kindergarten, Superintendent Jason Smith said.

Lydia Esposito, three, carried a pink and white backpack that was nearly as big as she was.

Going into UPK, she was fully equipped with a sleeping bag, tissues, art smock, and a lunch pail of Lunchables, yogurt, and strawberries, she said, with mom Emily's help.

Families were lining up next to the parking lot entrance for the younger ones, while six buses full of older ones unloaded on the Union Street side of the school.

Principal Jessica Korzilius and staff greeted and assisted them.

It's a big day for us here at Robert Morris.

We're adding kindergarten this year, so we have multiple access points, Korzilius said.
