The National Guard is “Marching Home”
Ennis, TX – The US National Guard and its AMS Race Team is “Marching ” to its home track at the Texas Motorplex at Ennis Texas this weekend (Oct 23 & 24), ready to do battle for the season ending ADRL World Finals 2009 Championship Shoot-Out! Josh Hernandez, who drives the stealth camouflaged 57 Chevy National Guard entry, will be leading the charge towards that championship. Seeded 3rd in a eight car field of the fastest blown doorslammers on the planet, Hernandez is ready to let it all hang out. “This is what it is all about”, this is what we worked and bled for all year, stated Hernandez.
As Crew Chief legend Jim Oddy says , “This championship is more than just about prize money or trophies, this is who we are and what we do. And no one deserves it more than Dave Wood, who has given our team everything it needs to win, has been totally supportive in both good and bad times and is a true friend to all racers and fans alike”. Oddy went on to state, “ I like our chances, with our Critchley powerplant and Joshua driving, confidence is running high”.
Critchley, who builds the 3000 horsepower engines for the AMS National Guard Team and also runs Hammer Superchargers, a AMS Team sub-company, was quick to second Oddy’s comments, “ We have spent the last six weeks, changing out parts, rebuilding engines, superchargers, and basically fine tuning every aspect of the 57 chevy National Guard entry, so we are ready to rock and roll. Its up to Josh now, and the team couldn’t be in better hands. Josh is a two time World Champion ( in another sanctioning body) and definitely knows how to get it done”.
The LenMar ADRL World Finals actually is the conclusion of the 2009 season with the Shoot Out on Friday night and the beginning of the 2010 season on Saturday night. Listening to Dave Oddy, Team assistant Crew Chief, “We have the perfect opportunity to cap off the 09 season with a championship on Friday night and get a leg up on the 2010 season with a win on Saturday”.
As the 2009 season ends and the 2010 season begins, AMS would like to take a few moments to thank all our sponsors who have supported our program for years- The US National Guard, Red Line Oil, AMS Staff Leasing, Dallas National Insurance, InterLinc Mortgage, NGK Spark Plugs, Permatex Products, VP Racing Fuels, Safety Kleen, Hammer Superchargers & Mechanix Wear.
