rebelracewriter Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 2002 ROMCO Champion Joins Forces With John Webb Pendleton, IN (April 8, 2003) – 2002 ROMCO Super Late Model Series Champion Chris Davidson has joined forces with John Webb and the Trucks Unlimited team for the ASA Racing Series Texas 250 at Houston Motor Speedway on Saturday, April 12. Davidson, of Pearland (TX), plans to make his initial appearance in the series that is know to build champions at Texas’ premier short track. “This is a tremendous opportunity for me. I want to thank John Webb for giving me a chance to compete in ASA, which I consider the best short-track series,” said Davidson said. “I was interested in racing the Houston event and I contacted Gary St. Amant and he set up the deal with John. Without the help of Gary, none of this would have been possible. He is a class guy and I’ve a lot of respect for him on and off the racetrack. “I raced in several events at Houston and thought that would be a great place to get my feet wet,” Davidson continued. “The television package with SPEED CHANNEL will be a huge benefit in securing some sponsorship. I think we have a shot to have a strong run at Houston with all the laps I’ve turned there in a super late model. The biggest adjustment will be with the engine and tire package. With all the testing that we have done, I’m confident we’ll have a strong showing.” Davidson captured the 2002 ROMCO Super Late Model Series Championship, winning one event and posting 10 top 10s in the 14-event schedule. He also scored a top-five finish at the 32nd Annual Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola (FL), a premier late model event. In 2001, Davidson produced a stellar season, winning three events in ROMCO and capturing the inaugural Big Shot 250 at Thunder Hill Raceway in Kyle (TX). The previous season, he won three ROMCO races and placed third in the standings. Davison began his super late model career in 1997 at Houston, winning two events at the .375-mile oval. The second event of the 2003 ASA Racing Series is set for Saturday, April 12 at Houston Motor Speedway in Houston (TX). The Texas 250 takes the green flag at 8 p.m. (Central) and will be telecast live on the SPEED CHANNEL. -end- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
