Going Racing!

(9/21/00) With speedway racing about to resume in the ARCA Bondo/Mar Hyde Series, Dan and Crew are completing car preparations for next week’s Talladega Test Day.

“We’ll be taking our 99 Chevrolet Monte Carlo to next Wednesday’s test day.” Dan spoke from the shop in Charlotte. “It’s the same speedway car we ran last year in Talladega and at Daytona this year. The car performs well, running in the top ten at both tracks. At Talladega, we were caught up in a late race accident with Kirk Shelmerdine and finished 21st. In February at Daytona, we had a seventh place finish.

Dan added, “I’m looking forward to the test. With the car and set up refinements made by Larry Moore, I think we will see increased speed and improved handling.”

Talladega Test day is Wednesday, September 27. The next race for Jim & Judie Motorsports is at Lowe's Motorspeedway on October 4.

“At Lowe’s, we'll run the 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The car has been rebuilt after partying with the turn three wall in Kentucky in August,” said Dan with a grin.

The Talladega race is the following weekend, on October 21. Dan remains second in the speedway challenge series behind point leader Bob Strait with three superspeedway races remaining on this year's schedule.
