Charlotte: Chuck Gafrarar preview

Gafrarar turns the page and goes forward in the Hobgood car

Mooresville, NC - May 13, 2003 Chuck Gafrarar will take to the track this week racing in Silver #14 out of the Hobgood stables, on Saturday, May 17th, at Lowe's Motor Speedway! Gafrarar is taking his skills in a different direction to represent his Sponsor Team. The Silver number 14 will carry: Travel Club International, Icehouse, I.H. Caffey, Rusty Wallace - RWI Sports Marketing INC., Mobil 1, MeadWestvaco and Long Shifters.

Gafrarar tested at Lowe's with the Hobgood's earlier this month. This weekend Gafrarar stated "we will join forces when the common denominator will be working together for a great finish with three cars fielded by Will Hobgood." The testing was a great opportunity to focus on getting a feel for the car and it was awesome. Will is great to work with and eager to keep all his cars top notch. Since the race will be run within the Winston, the coverage for all our sponsors is excellent and to have the Hobgood car to work with is a racers dream! I'm looking forward to working with the Hobgood family towards common goals. They are dedicated racers looking towards the Winners Circle each race...an important factor for a winning team. The NASCAR Goody's Dash Series Easy Care Vehicle Service Contracts 100 will be running within the Winston and is excellent coverage for all my sponsors."

Gafrarar is looking forward to the Charlotte based event - it's a track he raced on as a kid on the WKA Pro kart circuits, Legends Cars and now in the Hobgoods Dash car. "Over the years, stated Gafrarar, I have won many times at the Lowe's facility in other racing forms and it's always a thrill. To have a great car like Will puts under you...is exhilarating and racing in tandem with Jake and Justin will be a unique experience. We look forward to Charlotte with the Hobgoods and a good run."

Business associates looking to advertise their company in a unique, venture may contact by links within his website at www.chuckGracer.com. Gafrarar will be in the Hobgood car for the Lowe's and the Kentucky events. He is interested in finding a source for the remaining short track events. Last season Chuck claimed Goody's Dash Rookie of the Year award, along with 5 Top Rookie of the Race awards, three top five's and six top ten's as well as the Rookie of the Year title.
