Jenison, Michigan (February 26, 2014) – For Ross Kenseth, Crew Chief, Kelly Bires and

the entire Boyne Machine Racing Team, all the hard work in the spacious new 10,000

square foot race shop through the winter months resulted in a trip to the 48th annual

World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at the fast 1/2 (0.500) mile high-banked paved

oval of New Smyrna Speedway (FL). The Super Late Models raced seven of the eight

nights that made up the World Series.

After starting out strong in the first four races of the World Series, three top fives with a

Speedweeks high finish of a third on February 15th during night #2, as well as four top 10

showings, a motor issue was discovered in the #77 Boyne Machine Company / Enterprise

Iron & Metal / Ford and with only one motor in the hauler and with the team not wanting to

damage the engine any further than it may have already been, Kenseth and the team

made the tough decision to load up and head back to Michigan a few days early.

Despite missing the last three nights of the World Series, Kenseth still finished 17th in the

final World Series points standings within the 53 total Super Late Model drivers who made

at least one Speedweeks appearance. Even though Speedweeks ended earlier than

planned for the driver originally from Little Chute, Wisconsin, but now residing in Jenison,

Michigan, Kenseth feels they learned plenty which will apply for the rest of the 2014 racing season.

"We learned quite a bit about these cars and about ourselves as far as how well we gelled together. We got to run under race conditions together and it was hugely beneficial," The 20-year-old explained as he and the Boyne Team unloaded the equipment back in the Boyne Machine Racing shop. "We're definitely going to be strong all season long wherever we go. We're really happy to have made the trip to Florida though even with the early end." He added.

The 2014 racing schedule will now shift towards preparations for the Southern Super Series season opener; the 38th running of the Rattler 250 at the fast 4/10s (0.400) mile semi-banked paved oval of South Alabama Speedway, located just 45 minutes north of the Alabama / Florida state line in Opp, Alabama on Friday-Sunday, March 14-16th.

From there, the rest of the 2014 schedule will see Kenseth and the Boyne crew make several appearances within the ARCA/CRA Super Series Powered by JEGS as well as the ARCA Midwest Tour and a couple of events within the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance. In addition, Kenseth also looks to make select appearances in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East later in the year and on off weekends, will race at Berlin Raceway (MI) in the tracks Template Super Late Models Series when the schedule allows.

For the remainder of the 2014 racing season, Kenseth's fleet of #77 Boyne Machine Racing / Enterprise Iron & Metal / Ford Fusion entries are continually and actively seeking sponsorship to go along with Boyne Machine Company as well as Enterprise Iron & Metal to join up with Doc360, McGunegill Engine Performance, Draco Springs, Penske Racing Shocks, AP Racing Brakes, Quartermaster, Fast Signs of Appleton, Wisconsin and M.P.H.
