Knoxville Raceway regular, Mike Deavers, is hoping to make
2008 a year to remember. The team has been working very
hard this off season preparing their new J&J sprinter
for its debut on April 19th at Knoxville Raceway. “This
off season has proven to be a crazy but productive one”
said Deavers. “I have taken on a new venture that
involves fabrication work in order to help offset some of
the high costs associated with fielding a competitive race
team. This has obviously meant less time in the race shop,
but we will be ready to go come April.”
Fielding a competitive car puts a huge financial strain
on any race team, especially an owner/driver team such as
Deavers. In 2007, Deavers partnered with WinkDog Motorsports
in efforts to market the race team and match them with the
right corporate sponsor to help alleviate some of that strain.
“WinkDog was instrumental in pairing us up with CoLiant
Solutions for the 2007 Knoxville Nationals. It’s comforting
for an owner/driver such as myself to know that I can focus
on what I do best, race. Special thanks goes out to Steve,
Jeremy and Pat for their fine efforts.” Deavers Racing
has renewed their association with WinkDog for 2008 and
is looking forward to an exciting season.
The 2008 schedule for Deavers Racing will consist of a
full season at Knoxville Raceway, including the 2008 Knoxville
Nationals. The team will also be traveling to select “World
of Outlaw” shows in Illinois and Missouri.
Deavers Racing would like to take this opportunity to thank
all of our current sponsors for their support over the years:
J&J Auto Racing – Automotive Machine Racing Engines
– Ken Perry Excavating – Gilmore Construction
- Advance Auto Parts of Normal, Illinois – KDL Machining.
WE COULDN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!
