Corona, CA -- The 15 year-old racing phenomenon and Riverside, CA resident known as Randel “The Rocket” King will take his smooth and clean driving style to Havasu 95 Speedway this Saturday for stop number three on the 2007 Lucas Oil ASA Speed Truck Challenge Series presented by Go Fast series. King and his extremely fast #35 Hype Manufacturing/Clay Andrews Racing/ Chevy Colorado truck will be looking for back-to-back wins on the ¼ Havasu track that closely resembles Orange Show Speedway’s tight ¼ mile.
Led by talented crew chief Dallas Leininger, King won his first main event in the series two weeks ago at the Orange Show Speedway in dominating fashion by leading all but the first five laps of the 100-lap feature. The Randel King Racing Team has experienced great success at the tight ¼ mile speedways on the 13 race Lucas Oil ASA Speed Truck Challenge Series presented by Go Fast series.
Scott King, the Rocket’s father and biggest supporter says “this team has the ability to win more races and we hope to begin a streak this weekend at Havasu that continues on throughout the season. We have our eye on the series Championship for sure.”
King drove his #35 Hype Manufacturing/Clay Andrews Racing Dodge Dakota truck to a respectable sixth place finished in the 2006 ASA Speed Truck Challenge point standings and was the 2006 ASA Speed Truck Challenge ‘Rookie of the Year’.
What makes Randel King different from other teenagers is that he is the developmental driver for Clay Andrews Racing who also fielded the #84 Ranchwood Homes Chevrolet driven by David Gilliland in the 2006 NASCAR Busch Series. Gilliland shocked the NASCAR world when he won the Busch race at Kentucky Speedway in only his seventh series start.
The next ASA Speed Truck Challenge Series event for Randel King is on the 3/8 –mile Tucson Raceway in Tucson. AZ on April 21st. For more information check out his website at www.randelkingracing.com.
