First Career JEGS/CRA Win For Chad Finley; Heads To Title Sponsors Race At Dixie Motor Speedway

DeWitt, Michigan (Wednesday, May 30th, 2012): All it took was a little confidence and a little faith and Chad Finley knew that, in time, he would finally find victory lane in a JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by GM Performance Parts race. It finally happened for Finley and the entire Chad Finley Racing Team on May 26th at Columbus Motor Speedway in Columbus, Ohio.

With the win, Finley has made the early run for the 2012 JEGS/CRA title a dogfight between the top six teams in the season long points chase. In addition, the CFR Team is riding a huge wave of momentum heading into the next event on the JEGS/CRA schedule in a race title sponsorship by Finley’s primary sponsor; The Auto Value Parts Stores & Certified Service Centers 100 Presented by JEGS.com on Friday, June 1st at the fast 4/10s (0.400 mile progressively banked paved oval of Dixie Motor Speedway, located just an hour northeast of the DeWitt, Michigan based CFR Race Shop in Birch Run, Michigan.

Last season, Finley finished an impressive second at Dixie and is looking to advance one spot further up the leaderboard. “We are really looking forward to getting back to Dixie this weekend. It’s a big event for our sponsor Auto Value Parts Stores & Certified Service Centers as they are sponsoring the event and I am hoping we can keep our momentum from our win at Columbus and have a good showing for them.” Finley remarked.

“It would mean a lot to win the race for everyone involved with Auto Value and Air Lift as well as CFR in our home state of Michigan. Last year we had a great race car and we are taking a brand new car this weekend to try and finish one spot better.” He added. “Plus, Mike Staszak from XLT Engineering is driving a team car for us this weekend (#142), so we want to make sure he has a good run also. We’re ready to roll and we’re looking forward to getting out there.” He ended.
