BRENT TRIMBLE OFFICIALLY CROWNED FASTRAK RACING'S $20,000 TO WIN WEEKEND WARRIOR RACING NATIONAL CHAMPION; FASTRAK RACING TOURING SERIES TO RETURN IN 2023
Carnesville, GA – This past Saturday (January 29), FASTRAK Racing officially crowned Morgantown, WV's Brent Trimble as its 2022 Weekly Warrior Racing National Champion at the national banquet held at the Black Fox Lodge in Pigeon forge, TN. Trimble took home a $20,000 check, a champions jack, and a six-foot-tall championship trophy. Trimble also won the drawing for a brand new GM604 crate engine valued at $8900 to cap off his night.
"This is the first year we have ever tried to run for the national championship; we have a lot of great competitors in the area like Kyle Lukon, Luke Hyre, and everybody we race with that made winning this championship challenging," commented Trimble.
Trimble added, "The FASTRAK deal keeps getting bigger and bigger, and I believe it is going to get even bigger this year with the touring series coming back, which we're going to run, and we got a new team and car owner that we will be running for this year."
Trimble spent his weekends racing at Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex in Markleysburg, PA, and Elkins Raceway in Kerens, WV, picking up twelve (12) FASTRAK-sanctioned wins in twenty-five (25) race nights. Saying it was a successful year would be an understatement. Trimble's 2022 statistics, including FASTRAK and non-FASTRAK sanctioned events, show what a fantastic year his team had, with fifteen (15) total wins, twenty-eight (28) top 5's, and twenty-nine top 10's. Trimble did not have one DNF, and seven (7) of his wins were special events.
Trimble's #32 Rocket Chassis carried sponsorship from WG Motorsports, Nu-Finish Collision Center, J-Bar Services, Top Notch Kustom Konceptz, Eagle Racing Engines, and FK Rod Ends.
Also, during the evenings 15-year, old Chandi Currence of Clarksburg, WV, was crowned the 2022 Futures Cup winner, finishing fifth in the national point standings. Currence received a check for $2500, a jacket, and the Futures Cup.
To close out the banquet, FASTRAK owner/founder Stan Lester gave a state of FASTRAK update, first introducing Bill Lupinos as FASTRAK Companies International's new vice-president and saying he would be taking over the day-to-day operations of the company. Lester then announced that the FASTRAK Touring Series would return in 2023 and feature $5000 to win events, focusing on making sure track owners made money and giving the drivers better-paying shows.
Also, during the night's festivities, Zack Mitchell of Enoree, SC, was crowned the Ultimate Super Late Model SE Champion for the fourth time taking home $25,000 for his championship. And James Rice of Verona, KY, was crowned the 2022 Heart of America Ultimate Super Late Model Champion, taking home $5000 for his championship.
