USAC/CRA
CHAMPION CAR OWNER GLENN CROSSNO HIRES INDIANA’S SCOTTY WEIR
FOR THE 2007 SEASON! |
|
(DECEMBER
1, 2006, MIRA LOMA, CA)
2006 USAC/CRA car owner champion Glenn Crossno announced on Friday that
up and coming Indiana Sprint Car star Scotty Weir will be in the cockpit of his
championship winning car for the 2007 USAC/CRA season. Crossno
first met Weir on the TNT Tour last summer and got to know him better when the
USAC National Sprint Car Series came west for the Budweiser Oval Nationals at
Perris Auto Speedway and the Western World Championship at Manzanita Speedway in
November. Crossno
chose Weir after watching the young driver turn in impressive performances on
the TNT tour and at the Oval Nationals.
“He is an up and coming driver with good stats,” the champion car
owner said by phone on Friday afternoon. “He
is very smooth and has impressive ability.
He started 24th in the A main of the Oval Nationals and ended
up ninth. In addition he has a lot
of knowledge about the car.” Weir,
who made his USAC National Sprint Car debut with one race in 2005, was a rookie
in 2006 and finished an impressive 11th in the National standings.
Weir will be leaving his home in Marion, Indiana and moving to Southern
California where he will also work for ITI Performance Racing when he is not on
the track. The
2006 championship car will be sponsored by HK Constriction, ITI Performance
Racing, Sander Engineering, Bullet Chassis, Advance Racing Shocks and Brown
& Miller Hoses and Fittings for the 2007 campaign.
The Crossno/Weir duo will make their California debut when Temecula
Valley Pipe & Supply presents the USAC/CRA Sprint Car season opener at
Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday night, February 3rd.
