WILD CHILD HITS A HOLE IN ONE WITH UNIQUE GOLF

Wild Child Racing’s famous #00 Blunderbust, driven by Tommy Walkowiak, has hit a hole in one as the team has found the sponsor that will drive them to the championship chase – Unique Golf Shop.  With winning back-to-back features this past two weeks, Walkowiak is on a hot streak and with Unique Golf Shop on board, the team has now got the funding to fuel them for a return to the championship race.

Tommy “Wild Child” Walkowiak, a 14-year racing veteran, has come up through the ranks of Riverhead Raceway earning 4 Car Rollover wins, 6 Spectator Drag wins, a Judge’s Choice in the Demolition Derby, and 10 Enduro wins, including the 1997 Invitational.  Tommy Walkowiak was fast out of the box when he debuted in the Blunderbusts during the 2000 season, earning 2 top 10’s in his first 3 starts.  Quickly the next year he would earn his first Blunderbust win and has since amassed 8 wins in total.

Unique Golf Shop is no stranger to racing, proudly sponsoring likes of the #85 Modified of Lenny Fischer, #14 Late Model of Mike Mortimer, and the #10 Figure 8 of George Sprague.  Unique Golf Shop is a family-owned business started by Tom Wichert in January of 1994.  What’s “unique” about Unique Golf Shop is that it was the first store in the New York metropolitan area to use the concept of selling both new and used golf equipment as well as buying used golf equipment.  This unique concept to the golf industry has earned Unique Golf Shop notoriety in Newsday and Long Island Golfer Magazine. 

In 2004, Tommy Walkowiak has had an up-and-down year, earning a win on his second night out, but getting hurt in points due to poor finishes during double pointers.  In recent weeks, Walkowiak has rose to the top once again, winning the past two races back-to-back in a borrowed car.  Now back in the top 10 in points, and with a great new main sponsor, Unique Golf Shop, Walkowiak hopes to continue his hot streak back in his #00 Unique Golf Shop Chevrolet.
