Demke goes for the Slam Dunk at Vegas Regional

Demke goes for the Slam Dunk at Vegas Regional

Las Vegas, NV – There will be regional action with play-off consequences this weekend at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This is not about college basketball. The play-off in question is the Jeg’s All-Star point’s battle, and the team fighting the odds is Maddern Racing. The clock is ticking and they are down by ten points. Team leader Chris Demke is looking to go all the way and cut down the nets in Chicago as the last Division 7 representative. To do that, Demke will have to not only navigate around screens and zone defenses, but also navigate the race track. Going rounds is the game plan.

“Vegas is a challenge,” said Demke. “At the end of last year we won the national event, and then didn’t qualify at the regional the next weekend.”

To make sure history does not repeat itself, Chris and his Peen Rite/801 Racing teammates have been running extra drills, planning their offensive strategy, and reviewing past performance. The team started hydrating themselves a few weeks ago after winning the Top Alcohol Title at the Gatornationals. That strong showing has given them the confidence they need to overcome the altitude and attitude of Vegas.

“After the Gatornationals win, I don’t fear any driver or team,” added Demke. “My biggest fear is parts attrition. We want to have maximum performance without hurting anything. It’s a fine line - but my guys can do it.”

Crew Chief Jerry Maddern, along with Kevin Watson, Mike Demke, Ron Mann, and Joe Cole are not planning on any sacrifices to the aluminum gods. Their man-to-man defense will be swarming, and backed up by five gallon pails of 801 Racing’s 70W Racing Oil. Chris Demke and his brain trust will call upon their tune-up knowledge database, work ethic, and insight to advance the team to the final round in Vegas, and a chance to represent in Chicago. Go Team Win! Rah, Rah, Rah!
