HEFFNER RACING EXPRESSES THANKS FOR DREAM SEASON
Welcomes Back Daryn Pittman
As Thanksgiving weekend comes to a close, Heffner Racing Enterprises would like to give thanks and express its appreciation to everyone who has made our 2010 season simply unforgettable--and welcome back Daryn Pittman, who will again pilot the Lelands.com #27 in 2011.
“This really has been a dream season, especially being a fairly new owner,” said team owner Mike Heffner. “When I first started racing, I had told my dad that if I could have any driver, I would want Daryn Pittman. It’s an honor to have him on our team. And I couldn’t ask for a more dedicated, hardworking crew…guys who do this simply for the love of the sport. Also, the fans, the media, the track owners…everyone who provides us the opportunity every week to go out and do what we love.”
In only its second full season as a team, Heffner Racing is both proud and humbled to have competed and excelled during some of the sport’s most prestigious races, against the best in the world.
“We have had a great year considering we just started together in May. It was a huge blessing to jump in a car and be successful straight out of the box,” said Pittman. “So much of this sport is finding the right chemistry with people and with this team we have fun and we were able to find success very quick. I am looking forward to driving the 27 next year and we look to continue our hot streak in February and throughout 2011. Thanks to Mike Heffner for a great opportunity and to all the crew for their hard work.”
These accomplishments would not have been possible without the talent, support, coverage and encouragement of drivers, crew, sponsors, media and the especially the fans:
