Trey Mitchell Carrying Momentum into PASS South Independence Weekend Double

Mooresville, NC 6/30/09- As families and friends around the country prepare to celebrate our nation’s birth day with time off from work and relaxation, it is business as usual for the Trey Mitchell Racing team. There will be no time off for Mitchell and his race team as they hope to carry the momentum of a career best finish in their last outing to a PASS South Fourth of July weekend double header this weekend.

The race weekend starts early for the team as they will travel to the paper clip shaped half mile Greenville-Pickens Speedway for the Firecracker 125 on Friday July 3rd to partake in what many consider to be one of the best Fourth of July weekend races to attend. Then after the day off to make the appropriate setup and handling changes, Mitchell and company will then compete Sunday July 5th at the abrasive Hickory Motor Speedway as part of the first ever Independence 150.

The double header will be a first for Mitchell when it comes to super late model competition but after having scored his first ever podium finish at New Senoia Speedway just a few weeks ago, the momentum of success is on his side.

“It felt good leaving Senoia last race with a third place finish. It’s just a whole new feeling when you finish in the top three; it pumped me up, it pumped my crew up and has us all really excited about racing this weekend. I know both places (Greenville and Hickory) real well and they’re two tracks I’ve had success with in the past so I have some pretty high hopes about coming away with some good finishes and hopefully building on that third place momentum we’ve got going,” said Mitchell.

The major object for the Texas native will be to keep his car in one piece at Greenville to be able to race Sunday at Hickory. The team wasn’t able to get a second #47 Ford Fusion completely ready to go for the double, forcing Mitchell to be extra cautious with his #47 Magnum’s Oilfield Service Ford Fusion. While Mitchell plans on being as cautious as possible he knows that with the ultra competitive field expected for both races he has to be on his game regardless.

“We weren’t quite able to get both cars ready for this weekend so I’ll have to be careful and make smart decisions. It won’t really change how I race that much other than maybe a little bit of extra give and take and I’m sure that everyone else has the same thoughts because they don’t want to end their chances of racing in Hickory either,” added Mitchell.
