MARCH 25, 2005...Ben
Lancaster announced this week that Bobby Graham will return to racing sprint
cars Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway in the Linda and Ben Lancaster # 14.
Bobby took nearly two years off to heal from a bad crash that bruised his eyes
so severely that only time would heal them properly.
He
took a few laps in practice a few weeks ago and is anxiously waiting for the
green flag to drop on Saturday. He drove the # 14 car before, so them linking up
with Lancaster again is not surprising.
The 31 year old driver from Riverside, CA owns his own trucking company. He
missed racing because he has been doing it since he was eight. During his time
off he learned to fly a helicopter and plans to become an instructor in the
future.
Bobby
came close to his first sprint car win two years ago when he led a feature at
Perris in Glenn Crossno’s car, but ended up second to Mike Kirby. He plans to
get that first 410 win very soon.
Bobby and wife Denise will be there early to visit with all the old friends in
the pits that they have missed.
