2011 Driver Spotlights:
Chad King |
 |
|
Chad King had
a stellar 2011 season with the Capital
Region Sprint series as he scored a pair of
series victories with his No. 24 mount. The
wins now give him three career series
triumphs. They helped propel him to
third in the overall series points at
season's end.
The first win
of King's career came in September of 2009
at the Devil's Bowl Speedway when it was
still dirt facility. This past season
he captured wins at both the Rolling Wheels
Raceway and at the Orange County Fair
Speedway. Look for the Caroga Lake,
N.Y., driver to make an impact in 2012. |

Our first, Winners Bonus of the year, will be sponsored by Heroux Excavating of Cooperstown, NY. The Bonus will pay the A-main winner, B-main winner and all heat winners extra cash providing they are current CRSA members. A&A Auto Parts will also be sponsoring product awards along with Pepsi providing product to lucky finishers in the main event. Try to get there as early as possible, because this new racing surface has attracted many new cars to their weekly program. There is still plenty of parking, but the pit gate may get busy.
