Henderson
Motorsports to Challenge for National Championship
Topeka, Kan. (Oct. 8, 2007) - The 44th Annual SCCA National
Championship Runoffs Presented by AT&T is scheduled to begin
with qualifying Monday morning, Oct. 8 at 8 a.m. (CDT) at Hartland
Park in Topeka, Kansas.
Often called the "Super Bowl of Armature Racing" the
SCCA Runoffs draws nearly 700 drivers from across the country,
competing in 25 classes all hoping to be crowed National Champion.
For the third consecutive year in as many tries, Jason Henderson
and the entire Cincinnati based Henderson Motorsports road racing
team has qualified and will be challenging for the National
Championship. "I think we have a real good shot this year"
explained Jason, driver of the 99 Trailex Trailers, Forgeline
Wheels, JRZ, DriversRoad.com, Hoosier Tire, Nissan 350Z. "The
entire team at Nissan Motorsports and Wright Motorsports has
been working overtime dialing in the Z this season" furthered
Jason. After a late start to the 2007 racing season, Jason stormed
into the Great Lakes National Division starting from the pole
3-out-of-4 races and a regular season record of three wins.
Jason's worst finish was a third place; Not bad considering
he didn't turn a wheel until July. "All in all I can't
complain about the season so far.
I really thought I was going to be behind the eight ball when
I wasn't able to get racing until July, but with the support
I have, I was fortunate enough to pick up where I left off last
season. Now it's time to put the icing on the cake and bring
home a National Championship"
said Jason. The Henderson Motorsports team will qualify once
a day for the next four days in hopes of starting from the pole
position. Races begin Friday with the Team's race scheduled
to start at 10:25am (CDT) on Oct 14.
