Motorsports. We were truly blessed. I guess it needs to be my Mom's Birthday
weekend every race weekend." Laughed the Fremont, Ohio driver. "I was so impressed
with the Lorz group and the two race ready cars they gave me to run. It seems like we
finally had an opportunity to show what we're capable of accomplishing on the track."

The Buckeye State freshman offered. "We're looking forward to going back to Winchester though. We had a good run the last time we ran there and we have a tough schedule left, but we just have to be prepared and keep the faith." She ended.

Good time to get some seat time so when we come back that weekend she should have plenty of laps around Winchester." Added Lorz Motorsports Car Owner, Mike Lorz.
