For Immediate Release Morristown’s own Victor Pfluger is off to a great race season. In 4 outings, Victor has scored 3 wins and 1-second place finish on the Kart circuit. His only second-place finish came as the result of a last lap wreck. Perhaps most noteworthy was that one of the victories came against Buddy Rice, 2004 Indy 500 winner. Victor is also running a Late Model Stock Car in the winter series at the I-10 Speedway in Blythe, CA. The last race he got to the track late and missed practice and qualifying. The penalty for this is starting at the back. “I had to start 17th in a 17 car field, on old tires, because we were late. I just wanted to run our new motor package to see what we had”, said Victor. “I just kept picking off cars. When it was over I was in second.” Not a bad finish for Victors 3rd race in this type of racecar. “My new Esterline/Patullo engine package really worked for me”, commented Victor after the race. Victor’s team, ThunderWave Racing, will compete at 3 more Blythe events before the season is over. Victor will be racing again in the ASA Speed Truck series, which is televised on the OUTDOOR Channel. As the youngest driver to ever win a race in the history of this series there are still many challenges ahead for the young racer to master. Victor’s team still has room for sponsors and is in need of help working on the race vehicles. “To have a successful season we need some help, mom and dad do their best, but to race at this level it takes more people” said Pfluger. ThunderWave Racing has hired racecar builder Chuck LaHorgue of Lahorgue racecars to crew chief the truck this season. “My parents do all they can and more, said Victor, but they just can’t do it all so we brought Mr. LaHorgue in to assist”. We are also welcoming Jim Clinton to the ThunderWave Racing team. Mr. Clinton will take care of marketing and promotional projects for Victor and his team. All of us can be reached at 602-679-0519 |
