Peach State Speedway:
Mitchell Looking to Seize the Moment at the World Crown

by Chris Ragle, Trey Mitchell Racing

Mitchell was a contender in the ASA Southeast at Watermelon Capital Speedway in April of this year.

When you’re coming off of a career best run at the season finale of the PASS series national tour at the Greenville-Pickens Speedway just a few weeks ago, what is a young Texas racer to do to prepare for his next and final race of the 2008 season? According to the hot-shoe driver Trey Mitchell it’s all about seizing the opportunity and living up to the hype.

“I had the best race I’ve ever had behind the wheel of a late model in hands down the toughest field of race cars from across the country that I’ve ever raced against a few weeks ago in the PASS race at Greenville. I’ve gotten some good publicity that let people know who Trey Mitchell was but more importantly, I’ve gotten some much needed confidence in myself,” noted Mitchell.

However, Mitchell realizes that with more publicity comes the pressure to compete for wins and top fives every time the Trey Mitchell Racing team hits the track especially in big events. That’s why the team with short track ace turned crew chief Freddie Query at the helm will head to the Peachstate Speedway in Jefferson, Georgia for the 25th running of the World Crown 300 this Saturday and Sunday November 8th and 9th with the winner taking home a $10,000 payday.

It will be Mitchell’s final start for the 2008 season and his first at the fast Georgia half-mile race track. Unlike many tracks he raced at this season, Mitchell has at least laid eyes on the facility having attended the 2007 World Crown as a spectator.

“I knew right away last year that I wanted to run the World Crown if the opportunity to do so was available. We came home with a solid fourth place at Greenville and a clean race car so we decided to run it. We’ve had a lot of publicity lately which is exactly what we needed, now we just have to go out and show everyone that I’m not just a one hit wonder and focus on getting my first win,” stated Mitchell.
