****************
TREVOR, BEFORE THIS SEASON STARTED YOU SAID THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD KEEP YOU FROM RUNNING FOR THE BEECH RIDGE CHAMPIONSHIP WAS A SHOT AT THE PASS NORTH CHAMPIONSHIP. HOW EXCITED ARE YOU ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY?
I can’t really even explain it. I always wanted to race on that tour from the beginning, and even though we didn’t have everything together this spring, now that it’s come together I’m really excited about it.
I know we can be a contender for the championship, and I know that I’ve got a great shot at finally winning my first PASS North race. With this team, I know we can go to any race track and win, and I have a ton of confidence in the crew chief (Brian Burgess) and the cars. It all just adds up.
DO YOU STILL PLAN ON COMPETING IN NASCAR WHELEN ALL-AMERICAN SERIES PRO SERIES RACES AT BEECH RIDGE?
Absolutely. I won’t be able to run for the championship, especially because the entire month of July it seems we’re PASS racing. But I plan to go there still on our off weekends and try and win some races.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON SPEEDWAY 660 THIS WEEKEND?
I haven’t been up there in a while, but I remember that it was a pretty tight little track. It wasn’t quite as banked as White Mountain (Motorsports Park), but it was a lot like (All-Star Speedway). It’s definitely more of a driver’s track, and I like those kind of places. It’s fun to get up on the wheel and really race the car on those kinds of tracks.
