Medlin Racing

Southern Pines, NC. — After what seemed like forever and a day, but was only a few short months Medlin Racing is ready to start the 2009 racing season. Richard Medlin, driver of the #5 Bruce’s Tavern Chevrolet Impala SS will be heading out to Caraway Speedway for the first race of the Limited Sportsman Season on Saturday, March 21st.

Medlin is coming off a stellar 2008 Limited Sportsman season. Competing in only 10 of the 14 scheduled races. He had 3 top five and 8 top 10 finishes capping the season off with a 5th place finish in the seasons final point standings.

“We are looking forward to heading back out to the track,” said Medlin. “Last year was a learning year for us all as it was our first full season, but we quickly began to show that we were competitive and not to be over looked. This team has become a team to watch for each and every race. We are hoping to break out and pick up our first win this season as well as better our 2008 points position if we decide to run the full season at Caraway Speedway.”

Medlin tested during the open test session at Caraway Speedway on March 7th. Out of the 13 Sportsman cars in attendance he ended the day tied for the 3rd fastest time.

“This was our first time on track with a different shock package from the 2008 season, so that experience will most likely help us out as the season begins,” said Medlin. “I was more than happy with the way the car drove throughout the day. We only had to make a few small adjustments to get the feel back into the wheel that im comfortable with.”

Medlin Racing is currently sponsored by Bruce’s Tavern, ConnectNC, Markham Accounting Services, Go Pro Cameras, SPY Optics, and still has open sponsorships available for the 2009 season.
