This Just In!

It is finally official and we can go public about Total Velocity Motorsports' new team member!   Natalie Sather www.nataliesather.com from Fargo North Dakota will be piloting our Drive For Diversity car in the 2009 Evergreen Speedway Super Stock division.  Natalie is a 23 year old race car driver who has 14 years driving experience in Go Karts and 360 and 410 dirt Sprint cars. 2009 will be her first season driving asphalt Late Models and the team is very confident in her abilities to succeed.  Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards, Clint Boyer and many other top level NASCAR drivers started on the dirt and made very successful transitions to the asphalt. Natalie impressed the instructors at Finish Line Racing School as well as Jeff, Darrin Stordahl, (our new partner here at TVM), and I with how quickly she was able to get up to speed in the much heavier stock car.  She will be moving to Washington by the end of the month and will be involved with finishing the car and driving the simulator in preparation for testing the car at Yakima and Monroe.  The TVM crew has been diligently working all winter long on building two very competitive race cars for Natalie and Jeff to drive.  The Weapon is getting a complete overhaul and will be Jeff's primary car and the White Knight will serve as the back up car for both drivers.  TVM has added a third Port City chassis to the stable and it is being prepared as Natalie's primary car. Look for the #94 Drive For Diversity Super Stock soon to be on display around Monroe and check my blog for further status reports and pictures as we near the beginning of the 2009 race season.  The opener is only 11 weeks away!   Check www.evergreenspeedway.com  for the race schedule  and exact dates.
