We could not have asked for a better debut for our brand new RACE 101/Howe Racing Ent. / McGunegill Engines / Chevrolet House Car today at North Wilkesboro Speedway. This being the first race ever for this car, and no less at North Wilkesboro against the top super late model teams in the country at the biggest super late model event of the season, with only one test. This was also the first race that RACE 101 owner and founder Tony Blanchard has ever worked with Trevor Sanborn a driver. The car (running under the Sanborn number of 29 this weekend) was officially fastest in practice today overall and qualified 13th out of 74 cars. They are locked in for tomorrow's event. Blanchard says that he and Sanborn feel very confident that they can have a top ten finish tomorrow, but it is a very long race - anything can happen. The Sanborn/RACE 101 crew are prepared and very optimistic for tomorrow's PASS event - simply called "The Race". The event will be under the lights starting @ 6pm and you can watch it Live from North Wilkesboro, pay-per-view on Speed51.com
RACE 101 scholarship student, Trevor Sanborn posed with the program's house car during classes at the shop in Denver, NC back in March. Today he drove the car at North Wilkesboro Speedway for the first time out to a fastest time in practice for the entire field of over 70 top late models overall for the day, and a 13th place qualifying spot- locking him in for Pro All Stars Series highest profile and high paying late model event - "The Race" tomorrow at the famed North Wilkesboro Speedway.
