BENTON, MISSOURI (March 29, 2006) - In only their second
event of the 2006 racing season, Joey Mack and the Mack Racing, Inc. team found
victory lane this past Saturday night at the Poplar Bluff Speedway in Poplar
Bluff, Missouri. The driver of the High's Gift Shop / Boomland / Bollinger Auto
#97m GRT / Kuntz machine led the feature event from flag-to-flag on Saturday to
claim the
$1,000 top prize. After winning his heat race to earn the pole position for the
A-Main, Joey bested Steve Rushin, Chris Jones, Billy Moyer, Jr., and Jordan
Jones to register his first victory of the season!
It was about as perfect as a race night could go, commented Mack this week,
who also finished fifth at Poplar Bluff in his season opener on March 18. Our
car performed great all night and I was able to get the win. Steve (Rushin) won
the week prior and gets around Poplar Bluff pretty well, so it feels good to
beat a guy of that caliber. I have to thank all of my
crew for their hard work on the new car and also thank my sponsors for their
continued dedication and support. Hopefully, we can visit victory lane many more
times this year!
The 2006 racing season kicks into high gear in April, as Joey plans to compete
in at least seven events next month. This coming weekend will find Joey and the
Mack Racing, Inc. team at the Poplar Bluff (MO) Speedway once again for another
regular show. On April 8, the Mid-America Racing Series (MARS) season kicks off
with a $3,000 to win event at the West Plains Motor Speedway in West Plains,
Missouri. Joey and the rest of the cars and stars that follow the MARS Series
will be busy in April, as they have six events scheduled in three different
states.
