2.01.2011 Chase never out of the top 10...

Chase impresses many in his first official race series. Chase ran the Winter Heat series at Charlotte Motor Speedway from December- January. Which consisted of 8 races. 3 of the races were at the 1/5 mile oval. The last 5 were road courses. Chases transition from karts to legend cars did not slow him down one bit. Chas,e being the youngest driver in the field and the least experienced, was never out of the top 10 in finishes out of a 25 car field. In his last two races he took home two strong second place finishes. With all his sucess on the track he finished 4th place in Winter Heat points standings.

12-4-2010 Chase qualifies 9th out of a field of 23.  In his first Winter Heat qualifying attempt, Chase qualifies 9th.  With 23 cars entered, and only 17 making the show, Chase posted a strong 9th place starting spot.  With racing being postponed due to snow and ice, a "Double Feature" will be run on 12-11-2011.  Please check back for updates.

11-13-2010 Wake County Worth the wait: After getting rained out the week before, Chase returned to Wake County feeling good about his chances. Qualifying for his first time ever in a Legend Car, Chase qualified 5th out of 18 in a field filled with Semi-Pro, Pro, and Masters. Competing against young men and men ranging in age from 16 to 60, it did not take long for Chase to become the fan favorite. Running in 5th with 5 laps to go, Chase began to make his move to the front. As the caution flew, Chase was scored in 4th making his way to third. After 3 Green White Checker starts, Chase held on to finish a very respectable 5th. Please continue to check back as Chase prepares to embark on his first ever Winter Series to be held at Lowes Motor Speedway. His first race will be 12-4-2010.

11-6-2010 After a rain shortened day, Wake County is postponed till 11-13-2010. Preparing to compete against a field of twenty where Chase was posted fifth fastest times, rain moved in to shorten our day. Please check back next week to review the results.

10-16-2010 Chase has great success on the 1/4 mile at Caraway. Racing against Young Lions, Semi-Pro, Pro and Masters, Chase finishes a strong third at Caraway Speedway.

9-18-2010 After a long summer of testing, Chase competes in his first Legend race. Chase, in his first Legends race competing at Concord Motorsports Park, finishes sixth in the heat race and seventh in the feature.

8-13 & 14-2010  Chase continues to improve as well as impress.  Chase testing with established Legend car racer, Ryan Flores, betters his lap times by 3/10th of a second.  This weekend’s testing was designed to provide Chase an opportunity to practice side by side racing as well  as single and double file restarts.  Chase performed extremely well thus continuing to impress.  At the end of the day, Ryan and Chase ran a 15 lap race and a 5 lap shoot out.  Ryan won the 15 lapper, however, Chase came back to win the 5 lap shootout. 

7-30-2010  Chase tests Legend Car:   Chase,  after a full day of testing at Orange County Speedway,  finishes only a tenth off his teammate Bayley Curry.  After a much anticipated debut, Chase impresses both teammate and team owner.  The transition from Go-Karts to Legends is not easy.  The horsepower combined with the short wheel base makes these cars very challenging to drive.  Many of today’s NASCAR stars came out of Legends.  They will be the first to tell you, “if you can drive a Legend, you can drive anything”.  Throughout the day, Chase was able to keep the car underneath him displaying amazing car control, resulting in very consistent lap times.  Chase is scheduled to test again on 8-13 and 8-14 at Orange County Speedway.

7-16-2010 A rain shortened weekend delays testing in the Legends car: On 7-16-2010, Chase travelled to Charlotte to watch the Legends Million and test in his Legends car.  However, mother nature was not cooperative, and testing had to be delayed.  Chase is currently scheduled to test on Friday July 30th at Orange County Speedway, located in Raleigh, North Carolina.  Please check back to learn the testing results
