Lone Star Raceway I-10 Series

May 21, 2005 - Rockdale, TX- New Breed Racing, the Division 4 Junior Dragster team of Alesi and Ayrton Gerthe, sponsored by Hoosier Thunder Motorsports team owners, Terry and Rhonda McMillen and the Amalie Oil InstiGator team competed in the I-10 series at Lone Star Raceway Park, in Sealy TX over the weekend. Sponsors for the InstiGator include: Amalie Oil, TORCO Racing Fuels, Flatout Gaskets, NGK Spark Plugs, MSD, Performance Graphics, Powershield Coatings and Crane Cams. Ayrton went out the second round when he lined up against Debra Owens who put together the better package. Although Ayrton had her at the tree, his car fell off .05, while Owens was off .01 on her dial. Team mate Alesi went five rounds and proved why hitting the tree is so vital in bracket racing. Alesi's Hardens Race Car, powered by a Blossom Racing Rhino, was experiencing problems thoughout the day, but Alesi's excellent driving skills kept her in the field. In the finals, Alesi faced Brenna Lande. Alesi treed Brenna, but the car fell off .12 and Alesi wasn't able to make up the difference at the finish line. Congratulations to Brenna and her crew for a job well done. They dialed an 8.10 and ran the number....great job!!!
