| 2009 Proposal |
The History of: BLACKARD RACING Blackard Racing began its inaugural season in 1998 at Colorado National Speedway. The driver, Eric Blackard, without any previous experience, was determined to obtain as much knowledge and experience possible throughout the racing season. This task was taken on with the driver and a single crew member with the overall results being very promising. This laid the groundwork for future successful seasons. Blackard Racing's 2008 season began as the most promising year, with new sponsors coming aboard and joining the existing sponsors from previous years. The 2007 season proved to be the best year in both starting and finishing positions. The team qualified for and finished every race. With eleven top ten, and six top five finishes, and 4 main event wins. Blackard racing received recognition for the most A-main wins in our division, ending the year 3rd in points. Blackard Racing also won the over all Sportsman of the year award for 2007 from Colorado National Speedway, making 2007 a successful year. Even though our 2008 season is still under way, we have maintained a focused view on our goals and have stayed in the top four in points. We will be keeping with the same successful formula of car, driver, and crew for the 2009 racing season. The 2009 season promises to be the teams best points finish ever. However, this history is still to be written. Blackard Racing would like you to join us in our quest for racing success, along with helping your business in it’s quest for success. |
