Matt Long Conquers Carolina – Set for Red Clay Tuesday Appearance

Concord, North Carolina – Matt Long and his GazZu Race Team competed in a pair of weekend events with very strong results. On Friday night Long made the short trip to Gastonia, North Carolina for a NDRA Weekly Racing Series event at the Carolina Speedway. While Saturday found Long and crew at I-77 Speedway in Chester, South Carolina for Round #2 of the NDRA “Road Show” Touring Event. “We had a very good weekend. We got our second win of the year at Carolina and finished in the top ten at I-77. We seem to keep improving every time we go to the track. We still have some things to work on at I-77 but we definitely improved over the last time we were there.” Long said of his weekend.

Long’s Friday night performance was a very strong showing. “We won the heat and led every lap of the feature. And we put up our best lap times of the year Friday night. Our program is just really working like it should right now. I still can’t thank the folks at Rocket Chassis and Integra Shocks and Springs for getting us pointed back in the right direction. We have been in the hunt at every race we have been at since they put us on this new package.” Long added. On Saturday night Long finished in the ninth position which propelled him into fifth in the overall NDRA Heintz Performance Road Show standings. “We had a pretty good car at I-77 I have just got to figure out the adjustments I need when I’m there. We were just a tick off where we needed to be.” said Long.

Long and his GazZu Race Team will be appearing Tuesday night, May 4th at Buffalo Wild Wings in Gastonia on the Red Clay Tuesday Radio Show. Red Clay Tuesday is broadcast every Tuesday night on WGNC AM 1450 and on the web at www.wgnc.net every Tuesday night from 7 to 8 PM EST and features dirt racing drivers from around the region. Long is excited about being on the very popular show. “There are just a ton of people who show up for the show. It is a very neat experience to get to meet and interact with those fans. Plus the radio broadcast is also very popular so we really get the chance to promote our team and more importantly we can introduce GazZu Energy Drinks to even more folks. We will be giving out GazZu samples as well as some t-shirts and things. So we hope to see a lot of people down there on Tuesday.” Long said.

Long and his GazZu Team will once again be headed to Carolina Speedway this Friday night for another NDRA Weekly Racing Series event. The team’s Saturday plans are still up in the air however they are leaning towards making the northern trek to Fred Brown’s Wythe Raceway for their Fastrak Weekly Racing Series event.
