Gresham, ASA Southeast Asphalt Tour Get Soaked At Hickory
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Griffin, GA (May 18, 2009) – Max Gresham’s bid for a third American Speed Association (ASA) Southeast Asphalt Tour victory this season got drenched Sunday as continous rains washed out the RC Cola / Moon Pie 100 at Hickory (NC) Motor Speedway.
“Yeah, we got wet,” said Gresham Sunday. “We practiced and qualified Saturday and then it rained all morning today. They called it by noon.”
Gresham also indicated the rainout might actually turn out to be an advantage when the series returns for the make-up event (date to be determined).
“We’ll have more experience when we come back here later in the season,” said Gresham of the .363-mile paved famed Hickory oval. “We qualified eighth on Saturday and we’ll start seventh because of the draw. I’m going to need all the experience I can get to be able to get to the front and win from back there.”
The Woodward Academy (College Park, GA) sophomore student will next make his NASCAR debut in a Camping World East Series stock car event at South Boston (VA) Speedway on Saturday, May 30. The event will also mark the first time Gresham will wheel a Joe Gibbs Racing entry.
“I’m extremely excited to make my NASCAR debut and drive for Joe Gibbs Racing,” said Gresham. “I’m going to be doing some testing in the next two weeks leading up to the South Boston race. It’s going to be a great experience and opportunity for me. I can’t wait to do it.”
