TPS Notable Drivers at C.C. Motor Speedway April 9

 

San Antonio, Texas

 

The Texas Pro Sedans touring series will open their 2005 season with a race at C.C. Motor Speedway on Saturday night, April 9th. The Texas Pro Sedans will be initiating their 30th consecutive season of four cylinder stock car racing at the quarter mile Corpus Christi asphalt track.

 

The Texas Pro Sedans event will consist of 2 laps of Qualifying Time Trials, a 10-15 lap,

Last Chance Qualifying Race (if needed) and a 25 Lap Feature Race. The race will be run

under TPS rules and procedures in which yellow flag laps are not scored. A green-white-checkered flag is required to officially finish a TPS race under full racing conditions.

 

Included in the race entry list are the two drivers of note. One who has won six TPS Driver

Championships over the past 29 seasons and the TPS Charter Member:

 

Bill LaBarge of Bryan owns and will be driving his #27 BMW at C.C. Motor Speedway on Saturday night, April 9th.. He is the only six time TPS Champion in its 29 year history. He will defend his 2004 TPS Championship in the 2005 season.

 

Mike Knotts of Universal City, Texas will be competing in his #48 VW Scirocco. Mike was one of the original six drivers to file membership in the Pro Sedan organization in 1976. In the last 29 years, Knotts has competed in all but three of the approximate 450 races. He has long been referred to at “the TPS Charter Member”.

 

Texas Pro Sedans Series Race and Administrative Director, Neil Upchurch has announced

that he expects a pre-entry list of about 20 Texas Pro Sedans to participate in the event.

 

The entry list is growing daily and is also open to C.C. Motor Speedway Thunder Car drivers who are urged to file pre-entrys to save on the entry fee and possibly insure a better starting position if time trials are not held or completed.

 

A complete program of CCMS Super Street and Bomber Division racing and an appearance by the Allison Legacy Series will also highlight the April 9th racing program at C.C. Motor Speedway.
