New Sponsor; Major Award
for Chris Young
Sixteen-year-old racer Chris Young has a
lot to be excited about going into his sophomore season.
First, he now can remove the proverbial "rookie stripe" from his
back, as he has now completed a full year in racing and has two
wins and a lot of progress to show for it.
Secondly, he has acquired several marketing partners to work
with, including
his newest and senior marketing team, Long Island-based RAY THE
PLUMBER.
RAY THE PLUMBER is Long Island's #1 plumbing, heating, drain
cleaning, and air conditioning service company, with a great
reputation for fast same day service 365 days a year. Youngs car
has been wrapped with the RAY THE PLUMBER distinctive bright
"blue-bubble" eye-catching design. You can visit Ray on his
website at raytheplumber.com.
Young also goes into the season having picked up one of the
highest honors offered by his NASCAR Driver Development
Motorsports Management partner, Team Full Throttle. At the
recent TFT Awards Banquet in Charlotte, N.C., Young was awarded
the Thomas H. Baker Memorial Award, a "Driver of the Year" Award
given in honor of the father of TFT Founder / CEO Tom Baker.
"We were proud to honor Chris with this award," Baker said
following the banquet, which featured Long Island native and now
North Carolina Business Coach Dave Ferguson as its guest
speaker. "Chris worked very hard in his first year on the track,
picking up two wins and showing tremendous improvement as the
year went on. He is an outstanding young man who shows
tremendous leadership ability and my father would have been
proud to hand him this award."
Young plans to race in the six night INEX Legends
Winternationals in Orlando, FL February 8th through the 13th at
the Orlando SpeedWorld. He won his first feature there last
season, and is hoping for a championship this time around. "We
finished in the top five in every race but one last year, so
we'd like to do the same again this year and hopefully win the
series championship," the smiling young racer said. "It's been
an awesome winter, adding Ray The Plumber to our marketing team
and picking up the award at the TFT Banquet, and now I can't
wait to get back on the track and continue my learning process
as a racer."
