Competing against the World’s
best racers over five days in early January, with approximately 250 racers
competing, including reigning and three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion and
two-time Chili Bowl winner Tony Stewart and a plethora of the most talented
racers from an array of racing backgrounds and disciplines, McQueen
Racing is excited to announce they will be renting one of their potent 2012
Spike/Esslinger for the 2013 Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
“I am
very excited to again have a three car team for the 2013 Chili Bowl and we are
currently looking for a third driver.
Due to the fact that we are a small team, we cannot afford to put
someone in the car without a fee.
I really wish that I could give someone that opportunity, as I
know there are many deserving drivers out there,
but that is just not in the budget, as I finance a large portion
of this on my own,” says McQueen.
McQueen Racing is currently accepting resumes/applications
for the 2013 Chili Bowl. Those interested will need to send an E-mail with
racing resume and background information to team owner Shannon McQueen at racechic37@yahoo.com.
Rental fees and deposit are dependent on racing experience and will be
discussed within receipt of application.
The
McQueen Racing team will consist of Bakersfield, California’s Shannon McQueen
and Guthrie, Oklahoma’s Michelle Decker.
McQueen has amassed three Heat race wins, seven Top 5 runs
and eight Top 10s thus far in 2012 and leads the USAC-Western States Midget
points. McQueen Racing also boasts a feature win with Decker at Bakersfield
Speedway in April.
In 2011, McQueen clinched a highly competitive Bay Cities
Racing Association Dirt championship prior to the final BCRA Dirt race,
becoming the first female to win a major Midget championship. In addition,
McQueen claimed the BCRA Dirt driver and Dirt car owner’s titles, while also
claiming fourth overall in driver’s points on a limited schedule, and sixth
overall in owner’s points, as well as receiving the best appearing car award.
In 2011, McQueen finished in the Top 10 every race, with
12 Top five runs, including a feature victory at Marysville Raceway Park, five
Heat race wins, Trophy Dash win and two fast time awards, including a new track
record at Silver Dollar Speedway (August 5). McQueen amassed six second-place
finishes and nine Top 3 runs.
