Holly, MI — (March 21, 2014) — Toledo, OH driver Jimmy McCune is eagerly awaiting the new Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series (MSRXSS) season, and in particular, the 3rd annual โSouthern Shootoutโ April 11-12at 5 Flags Speedway in Pensacola, FL and Mobile International Speedway.
McCune will be back behind the wheel of the family owned yellow number 88. McCune spent the majority of last season driving for another car owner with mixed results. McCuneโs longtime sponsor B&B Machinery Movers has returned as well. โJohn Extine has been helping me for a long time and his company is my primary sponsor this yearโ explains McCune. โIโm really excited about this seasonโ.
This upcoming season will find McCune extremely busy to say the least. In addition to an eighteen race MSRXSS schedule, McCune will help his nephew Anthony, as he makes his sprint car debut.โ He has been running ยผ midgets and Kenyon Midgets the last several seasons. Heโs gonna run some non-winged stuff at Spartan Speedway. My Dadโs gonna make him start at the tail of the field until he learns to pass cars. It will take some time to get used to it but I think heโll do ok. I also bought ยผ midgets for my son and daughter. Iโm gonna let them practice ย and may let my daughter race later in the year. Itโs gonna be busy this year for us thatโs for sureโ.
McCune would love nothing more than to win a MSRXSS title but admits thatโs not his primary goal. โIn all my years of racing Iโve never won a championship .Iโve been close a few times but mostly we never chased a championship. Weโve just ran where we wanted to. I just want to win as many races as I can and see where the chips fall. Winning races and being consistent will put us in a position to win a championship in the endโ.
The โSouthern Shootout has had mixed results for McCune in previous seasons. โI really like 5 Flags Speedway .Weโve ran good there. I didnโt get to run Mobile International Speedway the first year and I struggled with the car there last year. Iโve never ran any good laps there. Iโm looking at going back there in my own car and see what we can do. Iโm looking forward to getting back in a car. Itโs been a long winter.โ concluded McCune.
With the 3rd annual โSouthern Shootoutโ nearing, history suggests McCune will be a favorite for a win down south while making a little noise in the process.
