Demke and Maddern Racing Prepare for Route 66 Onslaught

Demke and Maddern Racing Prepare for Route 66 Onslaught

Joliet, IL - Chris Demke and the Maddern Racing gang roll into Route 66 Raceway this weekend for a second time this month. The world class facility is the same, but this time around it’s going to be a wee bit crazier. It’s a National event combined with the Jegs AllStars competition. A double whammy with twenty-seven Alcohol Dragsters entered. That’s quite a difference from the limited numbers at the Regional event. That was a battle, this is all out war.

“The best of the best are here, and I expect it to be quite the spectacle,” said Demke. “When you have a National event there is always great competition. Adding the Jegs AllStars race really ramps up the talent. The top cars from around the country are here representing their division. We are very proud to be the last Division 7 representative since the change to the Regional system.”

It will take more than just desire to wade through the heavy field. Crew Chief Jerry Maddern along with Adam Rhoades, Kevin Watson, Mike Demke, and Ronald Mann are primed to accept the challenge. The last time out, the Peen Rite / OSI / 801 Racing Dragster responded to the hot weather and ran off some great numbers. But that was then, this is now.

The attitude that resonates around the Maddern Racing camp is of quiet confidence. The Michael Jordan led Chicago Bulls Championship team had a cheer right before tipoff. This weekend Chris Demke will lead the Maddern Racing crew with the same cheer: “What time is it? Game time baby….wooo!”
