Phoenix, AZ – Momentum is defined as a strength or force gained by motion or by a series of events. After taking the Top Alcohol Dragster win in Pomona, Chris Demke and his Peen Rite Team are bringing that momentum into the Regional race
at Firebird Raceway this weekend. The Regional event in Phoenix is the first in the newly formed racing series that replaced the divisional system.
“It allows us to go to more national events, which is good for us,” said Demke. “It also means more competitors.”
The Regional race will have the heavy hitters in attendance. That sits fine with the Maddern Racing team, as they won here from 2004-2006. The car has been serviced and the trailer loaded with more 801 Racing Oil with CleanBoost Technology. After a bit of tire shake, the RacePak computer has a few new connectors. The car is ready to race, and the Peen Rite Team can’t wait to get it back in motion.
“I like Phoenix,” added Demke. “We have a good tune up for the track and we are ready to see what the car can do.”
The Peen Rite/801 Racing Team’s momentum on the track has carried over to other areas. The Maddern Racing FaceBook page has gained a few hundred likes since the beginning of the season. The word is getting out there, and the success on the drag strip is the reason. Now it’s time to ride the waves of momentum at the desert track in Phoenix. Surf’s up!
