their cars with his #77. Slone is one of the lists of top JEGS/CRA Pro Late Model driver competing for the win at
2nd Annual Mercy Masters of The Pro’s 144. The toughest part of any list of drivers isn’t necessarily choosing who
should be among the top and Mike Slone has proven with victories when he raced at Lebanon I-44 Speedway his
ability to be at the top. Grasshopper Racing owner Roy Sumter and Mike Slone has been working together to
make this happen and looking forward to see how the new car does. Slone’s other skilled knowledge shows when
he crew chief’s and spots for SRPMotorsports Development Driver Austin Fullerton’s #20 last year and again this
season at Lebanon I-44 Speedway.
The car is a 2011 Hamke Ford Fusion, Mike and appreciative help from Kevin Crider of Crider Motorsports has
been working hard to get it ready for this weekend race.

wheeled Modified and enjoyed some success there. He is two time champion in 2010 and 2012 at Lebanon I-44
