NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Rookie to Run for Wilke-PAK Motorsports
CENTER LINE, Mich. - Mopar's Tracy Hines will return to his midget
racing roots, as he will compete in the Mopar Twin 25's at Irwindale Speedway in California on March 27. Driving the No. 11 Wilke-PAK machine supported by Mopar sponsorship, Hines will take a break from his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series duties to make another attempt at the coveted $50,000 bonus the prestigious event offers.
After capturing one of the two 25-lap feature events at Irwindale
Speedway during the Mopar Twin 25's event in 2003, Hines is looking forward to getting another shot at the bonus money and the bragging rights that come with winning the event title.
"I'm looking forward to running the Mopar Twin 25's at Irwindale,
especially after we won one of the features last year," Hines said. "We'll be in good shape; we just need a couple of yellows to help us out. We had a good run last year, and I'm confident we'll do well this year."
Hines is also confident that the Mopar engine he'll be piloting during his run will create even more favorable odds for a double feature victory. The veteran driver has no doubts that the powerplant will take him to the front of the field.
"Just having the horsepower that the Mopar engines make will be a tremendous asset for us," Hines said. "The total package that Mopar offers is just outstanding. The powerplant will give us an excellent shot at winning the event."
With Mopar as the title sponsor, and a $50,000 bonus at stake, it's feasible that some race drivers would over-think their approach or allow pressure to affect their performance on the track. Always calm and collected, Hines doesn't see any obstacles in his way.
"There's really no pressure added," Hines said. "I get paid to win
races, and that's what we're going to try and do."
The Mopar Twin 25's at Irwindale will be held March 27, 2004. Tickets can be purchased for the event by calling (800) 515-8445. For more information regarding the Mopar Twin 25's, log on to www.twin25s.com or www.midgetmadness.com
