Shannon McQueen Racing Collects the Hardware at BCRA Banquet


McQueen Racing Snags Trophies and Championship Honors at BCRA Banquet
Bakersfield, CA – January 28, 2012

By Robert Haugh

Having clinched the Bay Cities Racing Association Dirt championship prior to the final BCRA Dirt race -- becoming the first female to win a major Midget championship, Shannon McQueen collected her championship accolades at the BCRA awards banquet in Stockton, CA on January 28.

In addition to decisively claiming the BCRA Dirt driver and Dirt car owner’s titles, McQueen also claimed fourth overall in driver’s points and sixth overall in owner’s points, as well as receiving the best appearing car award.

In 13 BCRA races, McQueen finished in the Top 10 every race, with 12 Top five runs, including a feature victory at Marysville Raceway Park on April 16, 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.

In addition to McQueen’s finishes, McQueen Racing also had a pair of Top 5 runs by 2012 McQueen Racing Chili Bowl teammates Michelle Decker and Harli White.

McQueen Racing would like to thank all of our wonderful sponsors: Lucas Oil Products, K&N Filters, Simpson Race Products, JE Piston Company, Rod End Supply, Advanced Racing Suspensions, Eibach Springs, Ruth Engineering, Jet-Hot Performance Coatings, Butler Built Seating Systems, American Fabrication, West Evans Motorsports and Esslinger Racing Engines by Duane McQueen.
