It's racin' in the Tri-State

Get ready, the local 2009 race season is already underway at Rocky Top, and Ona Speedway gets added to the schedule beginning this weekend.

Let's review. A few changes at Ona, where Late Models will race one time monthly.

We'll name the drivers and cars in each class, one group at a time.

At Ona, drivers in Elite Modified, plus their car numbers will be:
#3H Hubie Hatfield
#3R Roger Dilly
#4 Brian Jacobs
#6 Gary Chapman
#10 Jake Keaton
#12 Brandon Stickler
#17 Steve Mills
#20 Mike Cooper
#22 Tracy Berry
#27 Eric Maynard
#28 Shane Koontz
#32 David Grass
#55 Chad Bailey
#72 Jerry Graley
#93 Thomas Mays

Driving Modifieds at Rocky Top are, along with car numbers:
#7R JD Ritenour
#8 Dave “Fireball” Pinkerton
#10 Jake Keaton
#11F CJ Ferguson
#20 Jason Perry
#56 Chuck Yeley
#80 Daley Lyons

You gotta love the Rocky Top Website. Each driver has a little bio box which includes name, where they've won what, technical info about their car and who the sponsors are.
Sounds like practice for interviews with response like, "well, I tell ya, the Altoids #20 Chevy...I want to thank my sponsors....." and reel them off in a New York minute.

Rocky Top races this Friday night and testing day is Saturday at Ona.

Get out there and enjoy some local racin'!
