City Chevrolet Coming on Board, UARA Alumni Make a Impressive Showing at Daytona

The UARA is proud to announce that City Chevrolet has joined the UARA family for the 2012 racing season as a sponsor.

"We are very pleased to have a company like City Chevrolet to be a part of the UARA racing family" said UARA President Kerry Bodenhamer. "City Chevrolet is one on the top GM Performance dealers in the nation with a great group of knowledgeable people to handle all your racing or high performance needs " said Kerry Bodenhamer

Parts Manager Chris Knight said "We are excited to be a part of the UARA family in 2012. We have a large inventory of GM Performance parts in stock." City Chevrolet is a leading supplier of GM crate motors and the UARA encourages racers to view their specialized crate motor website at www.citychevrolet.com or www.citycratemotors.com.

City Chevrolet is the largest Chevrolet dealer in North Carolina located in Charlotte. As a premier dealership they are a full service GM dealer with new and pre-owned autos and a full service repair center and GM parts inventory.

The UARA congratulates Brandon Mc Reynolds and Brennan Poole on their great showing at Daytona in the ARCA race last Saturday. Poole came from the 33rd starting position where he was moved to after post qualifying tech to finish 7th. McReynolds turned a many a head with his fantastic run. McReynolds led 64 consecutive laps, was heading for the checker coming out of turn four for the win when he ran out of gas. The dissappointment was surely there but his talent definitely was out there for all to see in a finish that will be well remembered by many fans and his fellow racers.

Several past UARA drivers will be working the track this coming week for the Camping World Truck Series. We wish them all the best of luck. 2008 UARA Champion Jake Crum will be there to show the talent that won him the UARA championship. Clay Greenfield who ran two full seasons with the UARA in 2007 and 2008 will be returning to the truck series. Greenfield's truck will have a photo on the hood helping to spreading awareness for childhood cancer. John King who has signed with Red Horse Racing for 2012 will be running for Rookie of the Year in the truck series. We wish them all the best for a good safe race.

Fifteen year old Brandon Jones is another newcomer to the UARA for 2012. Jones from Atlanta, GA will be in contention for the 2012 UARA Rookie of the Year title. Jones has teamed up with veteran racer Butch Miller as his crew chief in a Eddie Sharp Racing Chevrolet. Jones is the reigning Pro Truck Champion at Lanier Speedway and Gresham Motor Sports Park. In 2010 Jones had 6 wins and 15 top fives finishes out of seventeen races in the truck division. Miller said "Brandon is a talented young driver, and I'm very honored and excited to be able to play a part in developing his career."

The UARA-STARS will be in action Saturday March 17, 2012 at Hickory Motor Speedway.
