Ready to roll

It’s been out there for a month or so, but the #75 Herd Racing Nationwide Series car was on display at the Capitol in Charleston earlier today.

(Thanks to Jeff Gentner and the Associated Press for the shot of Gov. Joe Manchin and driver Brett Rowe at the WV Capitol with the car!)

The team also plans to be ready to enter the NASCAR Nationwide race at Bristol Motor Speedway on March 15.

The car and crew members will also be at the World of Wheels this coming weekend at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Huntington and you can get an up close view of the car.

We’ve discussed the car here before, but now, it’s ready to roll and if there’s funding available, i.e. sponsors, it will be entered at Bristol Motor Speedway on March 15.

And so local fans can get in on the track action, Herd Racing will be offering charter bus trips to Bristol, Lowe’s Motor Speedway, Kentucky Speedway and O’Reilly Raceway Park (Indianapolis), for prices beginning at $95. ROAD TRIP!

All you business owners who would be so inclined to sponsor that green #75 car, boasting Marshall University, there are packages available for as little as $1,000.

Team president Dana Tomes said there are four sponsorships on the back quarterpanels of the car available for the Bristol race, at $3,000 each. With that comes 10 seats on a charter bus for the race along with tickets and Herd Racing shirts. Driver Brett Rowe will visit with your folks pre-race if time is available.

Again, visit the Web site for more information.

Get out of the house this weekend, drive to the Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Huntington, put down your $7 admission and walk in to see some serious horsepower.
