Maddern Racing eyeing a strong Sonoma

Maddern Racing eyeing a strong Sonoma

Sonoma, Calif. – The Maddern Racing Team’s travels have brought them back to their home state of California. This weekend they are competing at Sonoma Raceway’s Regional event. Driver Chris Demke and the Peen Rite / OSI / 801 Racing Team are looking to strengthen their points totals, continue their assault on the time clocks, and win.

“Our runner-up at the Woodburn Regional was a letdown, we want more,” said Chris Demke. “We started out the season with two wins, won the Jegs AllStars in Joliet, and now it’s time to start another charge for the Championship.”

Going rounds and winning races takes planning and insight. The brain trust of crew chief Jerry Maddern, Kevin Watson, Michael Demke, Ron Mann, and tuner/clutch guy Adam Rhoades have the tune-up, and they are not afraid to use it. These past weeks of racing has gained them a handle on what it takes to go fast. It also takes support. This is why Maddern Racing is proud to announce that Boninfante Friction Products has come aboard as an associate sponsor. Their President, Rob Boninfante had this to say, “We are looking forward to helping out Maddern Racing and their run for the Championship.”

Running against the best of the rest in the Top Alcohol Dragster class has honed the attack of the Maddern Racing Team. It has also brought to surface their faults. Pulled out wires, broken parts, and missed opportunities have made them stronger. Getting these misfortunes out of the way at this point in the season may work to their advantage.

“We are still in the hunt, but now is the time we have to show our strengths,” said Demke. “Capitalizing on what we have done is only a part of it. Now we have to have the intestinal fortitude to make it happen. We all want this more than anything.”

Wanting something to happen is fine, seeing it through is another. It takes a bit of luck, perspiration, and most of all strength. Not so much physical strength, but the mental toughness that creates opportunities. If all of these factors come together, Chris Demke and the Maddern Racing team will reach their goals, and maybe another trophy tour. The Sonoma Regional is the next stepping stone waiting to be crushed.
