COLUMBUS, Ohio - Feb 5, 2010
Chad Hackenbracht, former BQMRA member and Buckeye Indoor Winternational Champion,
will start the biggest race of his career this Saturday - the Lucas Oil Slick
Mist 200 at Daytona Int'l Speedway.
Chad, a high school senior, has qualified his #58 Tastee Chocolate Apple
Chevrolet in the 31st starting spot for the most anticipated race in ARCA's
history. Chad said "Being 18 years old, it is a great accomplishment to
Chad Hackenbracht #58 Tastee Apple
Chevrolet
start the race in Daytona. It's a long ways from racing quarter midgets in Ohio."
Chad Hackenbracht 2007 Indoor Winternationals
It all started with racing quarter midgets in the Buckeye State. "My father and I were watching
a race from Daytona at home in Ohio when I was 12 and I said to him that I
wanted to race" beamed Hackenbracht. "Next thing I know I am racing quarter
midgets and fast forward 6 years and I can't believe I am actually going to
race at Daytona. It's pretty overwhelming."
The race begins Saturday Feb 6th at 4 p.m. and will be telecast on SPEED. To

COLUMBUS, Ohio - January 30, 2010
While mother nature was crippling the Southeast
with a winter storm stretching from Northern Texas all the way to Washington DC, the kids
of Quarter Midget racing were busy spinning up their own storm in a spectacular
duel at the Ohio Expo Center. License plates from twenty plus states crisscrossing
the United States and Canada dotted the indoor pit area as the drivers aging
from five to sixteen settled the score of this National Event on the race track.

Close to two hundred entries competed and seventeen drivers from nine different
states came across the finish line with their fist pumped high in the air as
they earned a distinguished Buckeye Indoor Winternational victory.
Adding to the excitement, chassis manufactures debuted numerous engineering
masterpieces. The innovation, vision and invention of the manufactures and
race teams kept Bob Abercrombie, BQMRA Tech Director, on his toes. "Having
the top chassis designers, engine builders, handlers and drivers in one place
every two weeks makes this series an incredible learning environment for all.
This is the perfect opportunity to try new things in a highly competitive
racing situation - step outside your comfort zone, make your program better."
