From Blake Lirettte
With Florida now done and over with and Ohio and Indiana still having a beautiful winter one of racings best kept secrets has finally seen the light of day. Joe Gaerte and Tim Norman, along with driver Darren Long are preparing for an all out assault at the 2010 ASCS National Tour Title as well as other selected 360 and 410 races throughout the year.
When Tim Norman, the long time driver of the 3g, decided to place his helmet on the shelf, at least for now, the call was made to plug the popular driver from Elida, Ohio into the Butlerbuilt and travel some more. With a top-5 finish in the Saturday evening Ronald Laney Memorial, along with a top-10 finish on the opening night JGRacing is looking forward to the rest of the season.
Quotes from the team concerning this year,
Darren Long- I want to be consistent everywhere and shoot for a top-5 in points at year end while also picking up my first national win.
Joe Gaerte- I am using this opportunity for two reasons. I’ve always wanted to have a car on a national tour and this could go a long way in raising additional exposure of my business Gaerte Engines. I hope to win at least one national event and five regional events, if not more.
Tim Norman- This is the best opportunity Joe and I have had to field a car nationally so we took it; I’d like to win 3 national events.
The schedule for JGRacing outside of the ASCS National Tour is not set and will change from time to time due to Mother Nature and work schedules for all involved. I will update you each week where the team plans to race.
A new feature we will have is the Red Line Oil Question of the Week. Answer the question(s) correctly first and you will receive a free prize. This week the question is this.
From whom did Darren buy his first race car?
And a second for good measure, and a second prize.
What relation is this person to Darren?
The first correct answer to the first question will receive a free Red Line Oil Racing hat. The first correct answer to the second question will receive a free Red Line Oil Racing t-shirt.
Another new feature we will have; ask a question to the pro’s, otherwise not me. Send me a question for Joe, Tim, or Darren and if your question is picked it will be featured in the next press release. Please e-mail zeakemedia@gmail.com with Question of the Week in the subject line and I will forward the one chosen it to the correct individual.
