News Room: August 15, 2007

Team Finley Racing made the short trip up the road Friday august 17th to Dixie speedway in near by Birchrun Mi. Hoping to get things turned around in front of there home state crowd and get back on track with weekend sponsorship from Annie Rae Chevrolet in near by Dewitt Mi. They were decent out of the truck and were gaining on it when steering box problems set in. Missing the rest of practice the team qualified a disappointing 24th place. Chad was making his way thru the field and coming out of turn 4 for the checkered flag running in 14th spot the two guys in front of him tangled sending everyone scrambling and unfortunately Chad got caught up in it as well as others. "We did not have a great race car tonight but we were gaining on it. We were real loose and just hanging on till the finish and then all hell broke loose. Those guys just run out of talent up there and wrecked the rest of us. Our Car Quest Auto parts, Annie Rae Chevy is pretty tore up. I think we missed our shock combo tonight but the bad thing is this was a really fast car for tomorrow at Owosso and we were just trying to get to the end unscaved. Now we will have to go to our back up car which is as good but that is my favorite car that got wrecked." The race team loaded her up and headed down the road to Owosso speedway and got the back up car out the next morning with lots of help from Chad's uncle Doug and his crew. The team was very fast in practice and qualified 6th fastest and was ready to start on the outside pole when the rains came. "That's are luck, I was feeling real comfortable in the car and was ready for a great night. I think we had just as good a shot to win as anybody. I think we may have turned our luck around to day other than the rain. Next up is Hawkeye downs and i like that place so we will see what happens. Special thanks to Annie Rae Chevy for coming on board and helping. Also my uncle Doug and his crew and mike from Howe Racing was with us and he was a big help." Team Finley Racing has a very big weekend ahead of them with Chad racing Friday night at Spartan Speedway at home then traveling to Cedar rapids IA Saturday night for the asa race and then back home to Spartan for a Sunday race. "Yeah it is going to be a busy weekend that's for sure but i love to race so i am good with it. We are trying to win rookie of the year honors at Spartan and we have a close battle there so we will be busy." Team Finley Racing will also be competing in some WKA National go-kart races this up coming month. As always thanks for checking in and support are marketing partners when ya can.
