The Miss Chicken website had a major crash on Monday May 12th. The website was restored from backup and I'm trying to fix all the broken links. Please drop me an email if you find anything out of place.

Mississippi Racing Legend

Joe Fascio

Recently, I received a wonderful letter from the wife of a Mississippi Racing Legend, Joe Fascio. Ms Margaret Fascio was excited about the website. She were hit hard by Katrina and lost almost everything. In her letter, she included some pictures of her husbands racing career from the 1950's. She also included some racing static's of her husband and their son Joe Fascio JR.

Joe Fascio started his racing career back in the late 1940's. Although he was from New Orleans, Joe raced all over Mississippi and the south. One of the first pictures of Joe racing was taken at Brookhaven Speedway in 1950. By this time in his racing career, he was winning races and was hooked on the sport. At Brookhaven Joe raced against Jake Howard who was driving a fast California Roadster #13. The car behind the fast roadster is Joe Fascio. Joe was never behind for long. This picture shows the same car 5 years later and a top had been added to the old roadster. Joe Fascio was behind the wheel of the "Black Cat 13" and another Mississippi racing Legend, Joe Caspolich, is doing everything he can to take the lead.

Joe Fascio was one of the fan's favorite modified driver at Pass Road Speedway in Biloxi. Joe won races at Pass Road driving the #30 in 1954 and in the #57 in 1955. All in all, Joe Fascio started 2017 races during his long racing career. He went on to take over 725 Feature wins.

Pelahatchie Car Show 2008

The Cite of Pelahatchie and the Mid State Rodders car club truly opened their arms and welcomed 148 car, truck, tractors and motorcycle to the 2 nd annual Crooked Creek Car Fest. There was a huge crowd on hand to admire the many fine vintage vehicles. The folks in Pelahatchie really went out of their way to make us all feel at home. The day just could not have been better; perfect weather, plenty of shade trees, excellent food, wonderful hosts and a lot of good friends. To say the least, everyone had a ball !!

The Car Show ended with a big surprise for Miss Chicken and her crew. Buddy Taylor (Dad) was honored with the Mid State Rodders Pioneer Award. It was presented to him for his innovations in dirt track racing and years of service to anyone who wanted to go faster. It is amazing what that man can do with almost nothing. A big congratulations also goes out to our good friend Lawrence "Roundman" Chambless who also was honored with a Mid State Rodders Pioneer Award. Both Lawrence and Dad are engine builders from back in the day. You can bet that they have a trick or two up their sleeves when it comes to going fast.
