DeWitt, Michigan (June 6, 2013) – A strong contender all season long every time the
new Red #42 left the Chad Finley Racing shops in DeWitt, Michigan, Chad Finley put it
all together and swept the entire program at Columbus Motor Speedway in Columbus,
Ohio by breaking the Track Record in Qualifying and then repeating as the Winner of the
CoughlinCars.com 100 Presented by JEGS.com on May 25th.
Now the 21-year-old, the current points leader in the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour
Presented by Chevrolet Performance, is hoping to duplicate that feat a little closer to
home in the third race of the season in the Dixie 100 Presented by JEGS.com on
Friday, June 7th at the fast 4/10s (0.400) mile progressively banked paved oval of Dixie
Motor Speedway in Birch Run, Michigan. Only an hour drive from home.
"We're all really looking forward to getting back to Dixie this weekend. It's been a really
strong race track for our team and myself. We have ran second the last three times we
have raced there," Finley stated. "We are very eager to get back there and shake the
monkey off our back and get a win close to home.
