Rip Michels Racing, Inc.   Driver Development & Leasing Program

                    

   Rip Michels Racing is proud to announce a new Driver Development & Leasing Program. The team currently has two (2) Super Late Models and one (1) SRL tour car to run both Irwindale and the new track in Bakersfield, Ca. for the 2008 racing season.
   These cars have the best of the best in equipment. All cars have top notch Freighttrain Peters engines, with chassis by Victory Circle, Hightower transmission, Penske shocks & wilwood brakes. Rip Michels and his 8 time Championship winning crew will prepare the cars. This is a full service operation, including, but not limited to, Driver Coaching, PR, Transportation, Car Prep, Sponsor Hospitality, and Race Day Crew.
   Rip Michels was asked the question as to why he wanted to start this program now? “I have been approached almost every year to do a program like this,” said Rip Michels. “I have thought about it, but always declined because I wanted to use only the best equipment and people, and we now have that. We can provide a driver an opportunity to be competitive right out of the gate, not just ride around and get laps without being competitive. I didn’t want my name on it unless I knew we could provide the very best service.”
   “This program is not just for anybody, we only want drivers with competition racing experience, and they have to be a minimum of 16 years of age. My team and I will approve those drivers who we believe have the talent, speed, but most importantly the heart and desire to want to win races. Make no mistake, top of the line racecars are not cheap, and neither is our program. Our program is for funded drivers that want to elevate their careers to the next level, and victory lane is the only way to get noticed.”
   Those drivers who are interested in submitting their resumes can send them to Michael Medlin, Team Manager, at Mrnascar30@yahoo.com. Your resume will be reviewed, and if approved, you will be contacted.
