Austin McCarl – Ready for Knoxville and Huset’s!
(Bill
W) April 2, 2013 – Thanks to backing from New Gulf Resources and Excel
Therapy Specialists, both based in Oklahoma, Austin McCarl is back in
action at the Knoxville Raceway on Saturday nights. Bargain Barn Tire
Center of Sioux Falls will also be helping the Altoona, Iowa driver this
season, and he will again be tackling the Huset’s Speedway near
Brandon, South Dakota on Sunday nights.
The deal recently came
about for Austin. “About two weeks ago, I was informed that New Gulf
Resources and Excel Therapy Specialists were going to be on board with
us this season,” he says. “They were a big help at the Nationals last
August, and I’m excited that they are with me this year. I hope it’s
the beginning of a great relationship.”
Austin last competed at
Knoxville on a full-time basis in 2011, when he became one of the
youngest drivers to qualify for the Knoxville Nationals championship
event. Last year, he finished third in the Huset’s point standings,
just one point from Mark Dobmeier in second. “It helps me out in
getting an engine for Knoxville this year,” says Austin of his new
sponsors. “With the great guys from Bargain Barn Tire Center in Sioux
Falls helping us out again, we’ll be running Huset’s too. I think we
were competitive up there last year, and we look to be again.”
Despite
the timing, Austin has been working hard in the shop and will be ready
for the April 20 Knoxville opener. “Everything has really come together
the last couple weeks I’d say,” he says. “It’s a little bit later than
what I’d like, but we’ll be ready to go for the opener at Knoxville,
and that’s all that matters.”
A familiar influence helped Austin
get in contact with his new partners. “I have to send a big thank you
to Bob Berryhill, Jane and the whole Berryhill family,” he says.
“Without them, really our whole family wouldn’t be where we are today.
Bob helped me hook up with New Gulf Resources and Excel Therapy
Specialists. Without that, I wouldn’t be racing this year. They are
like a second family to me.”
Austin McCarl is back! Sweeter
Construction, AmericashAdvance.com, Rossie Feed & Grain and DeBerg
Concrete are a few of the other partners returning for Austin. “I’m
really looking forward to a good year. We’ll have a new Rider engine,
and it will be great to be back at Knoxville. I think we’re going to be
pretty competitive again.”
