Casebolt
Racing caps successful western swing at La Salle and Leads Lucas Oil
Points
RICHMOND,
IN (May 21, 2008) - After a 4 race swing through
Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois Casebolt Racing leads the
Lucas Oil points for the first time this season.
Of the four races the worst finish was an eleventh place
finish at La Salle Speedway in La Salle, IL. “We weren’t very
happy with our run at La Salle, after the heat race we thought we
had one of the better cars and I guess I just didn’t quite go far
enough set-up wise to be competitive in the feature”, stated
Steve.
At La Salle the team qualified 2nd fastest out of
the 39 car field and ran 2nd in their heat race after
being inverted to the third starting spot.
Steve started 6th in the main event and struggled
throughout the event to keep his Dixie Chopper/Fatheadz Sunglasses
sponsored machine towards the front of the field. By the time the
checkers flew for Tim McCreadie, Steve had lost 5 positions and
ended up eleventh in the final rundown. The other 3 races of the swing saw the team finish 5th
twice and 4th at the Diamond Nationals.
“As of right now I couldn’t be happier with the way
things are going for our new team, I probably have the best guys
behind me that I have ever had and their hard work is starting to
pay off for all of us. Not
only do we have great crew help behind us in Eric Killion and Billie
Haager but the sponsors that we have on board make a huge difference
and we are thrilled to have all of them.” Said Steve.
Steve lead the points for a few different times throughout
the 2007 season and ended up third in the points championship.
“2008 has started out to be a great year for my team and I,
we are still searching for that first win and we have been knocking
on the door so it will come soon”, said Steve.
4 time series champion Earl Pearson Jr. sits in second place
of the championship standings.
The plans for this weekend are bit uncertain. Be sure to
check the team website later in the week for the most current
schedule. For
