RYAN HEAVNER RACING RETURNS FROM MOTOR MILE SPEEDWAY, SETS FOCUS ON MYRTLE BEACH SPEEDWAY

JUNE 13TH, 2013 (ST. LOUIS, MO) Ryan Heavner has returned from Motor Mile Speedway after running a disappointing 12th, following an abundance of back luck struck the team in a single race weekend. The team is now setting sights on long acquainted Myrtle Beach Speedway, a track that has given the team great success in prior years.

Ryan Heavner and crew spent the last 6 months going over the new Pro Cup car with acute detail. However, this was the first time the team entered a Pro Cup event as a family run race team and they knew ahead of time they were heading into a steep learning curve.

Practice one, the first time the North Carolina driver climbed behind the wheel since 2012 Heavner jumped to fourth on the times sheet. However, as the team headed to qualify in Virginia, the race weekend quickly took a negative turn. A throttle linkage snapped, putting Heavner last on the starting grid after failing to set a time, a challenging race lay ahead.

LINCOLNTON, NC (MAY 25TH, 2013) Ryan Heavner has been scratching and clawing, in a relentless search for financial backing that would allow the North Carolina driver to climb back into the cockpit of a racecar. Now, after a new partnership with Wes Gonder Racing, Heavner will head to Radford, VA and climb into the cockpit of the #33 machine.

A few weeks ago it looked like Heavner would be taking a car owner role at the upcoming Pro Cup Series events. While this still may be the case a few weeks down the road when the series heads to Myrtle Beach Speedway it certainly is not the case for the next event on the scheduled tour.

June 8th, Ryan Heavner Racing with backing and support from Wes Gonder Racing will be competing at the Motor Mile Speedway. He will be piloting the car owned by himself but the machine will be sporting an unfamiliar number #33 on the door. The narrow short track extends just under a 1/2 mile and features 15 degrees of corner banking. Heavner visited the track twice in 2012 and brought home a 6th and 7th place result.
