Chris Windom, the 16-year-old racing phenom, is ready to race!
After the weather caused a rough start to the 2007 racing season, Windom will get his share of sprint cars in during this weekend as he participates in three racing events in three days, kicking off with Friday’s “Elliottbrand Clash” special event Sprint car race on the rich, red clay of Bloomington (IN) Speedway, continuing with the first of two USAC National Sprint Car Series races of the season on Lawrenceburg (IN) Speedway’s dirt Saturday, and the traditional “Rich Vogler Classic” on Winchester (IN) Speedway’s treacherous paved high banks on Sunday.
Although most of the Midwest races scheduled for April have been “weathered out, ” the Windom Motor Sports team has continued to prepare with a test at Salem (IN) Speedway last Tuesday in advance of Sunday’s run on the legendary high banks of Winchester Speedway.
“Salem was super fun - a lot more fun than the other quarter-mile tracks I’ve run, and probably the most fun pavement track I’ve ever been on, ” Windom said enthusiastically of his first crack at Salem Speedway. “When we first pulled into the track, Jack (French) started telling me where I should run, particularly through turns three and four where he wanted my tires right up against the wall, which made me a little nervous, but I got used to it in a few laps. “
