    Team YNOT Looking to Keep The Momentum Going In Texas

    Rusk, Texas- Driver/ Owner Jim Whiteley , Crew Chief Norm Grimes and the rest of Team YNOT are looking forward to the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Division Four event this weekend at the Cherokee County Motorsports Park, May 18th-20th, outside of Rusk, Texas. The team is prepared to keep up the momentum after their decisive win at the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Division Seven event held two weeks ago in Fontana, California.

    The YNOT Team’s recovery from the qualifying crash at the season opening Carquest Auto Parts NHRA Winternationals is complete and a distant memory since the team scored a drag racing “hat trick” in Fontana. Whiteley was the number one qualifier, set low ET of the event with a 5.388 second, 262.88 mile per hour run, (which was also a track record ... bonus...) and won the event. This was Whiteley’s first win as a Top Alcohol Dragster driver.
    With the win Whiteley vaulted from the bottom of the Division Seven points standings to number five. He is only ten points behind fourth place Brian Smith. Las Vegas native Duane Shields has the Division Seven points lead with 277 points, followed by Chris Demke and Larry Miersch who are tied for second with 149 markers.

    This weekend will mark the first time that Team YNOT as ventured to Cherokee County Motorsports Park, deep in the heart of Texas. The team is looking forward to the challenge of running at the lower altitude. Running in Division’s Five, Six and Seven Team YNOT sees its fair share of high altitude venues.

    Cherokee Motorsports Park has scheduled a test and tune session for Thursday, May 17th from 12:00pm to 6:00pm. The main event begins Friday and runs through Sunday. Gates Open at 8:00 am with racing beginning at 9:00 am on all days.
