"Ladies and Gentleman - Start Your Engines"
As we head south for the running of the ARCA RE/MAX Series "Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200" event at the Daytona International Speedway, we have many new and exciting things underway here at D'Hondt Motorsports (DMS). Of them... young Alli Owens, our new ARCA RE/MAX Series driver, is about to take the next big step in her racing career. On Saturday February 7th, Alli will be piloting the DMS, ElectrifyingCareers.com # 19 Toyota Camry for the first time in competition. Alli and her team hit the racetrack for practice this Thursday, February 5th, with qualifying set to go off at 12 noon on Friday, February 6th and the green flag set to fly for the "Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200" at 4:15 PM this Saturday afternoon, February 7th. Live coverage of the event can be seen starting at 4 PM on the SPEED network. Stay tuned for periodic updates from the "World Center of Racing" as I will be sending each of you personal and timely news throughout the week.
Having tested very well in the ARCA Daytona three day test session back in mid-December, Alli and our team are ready to go and we fully expect to make some noise over the next week in Daytona. Jerry Pitts and his crew have spent countless hours preparing both the primary and back-up car(s) and Alli has done her part training hard the gym all winter in order to be in top physical condition for the season ahead.
