2013 SHAPING UP TO BE A BUSY SEASON FOR SHANE GOLOBIC
FREMONT, CALIFORNIA (January 2, 2013)
– 2012 Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo champion Shane Golobic, a
student at San Jose State, has put together rides with nearly half a
dozen teams for his 2013 campaign with over 70 races possible across
multiple states and series.
Golobic comes into
the season on the heels of a great finish to 2012 with winning the
Ocean Sprints championship, winning the 101 lap Johnny Soares Classic
Midget race at Petaluma, and a top-five in the return of the Turkey
Night Grand Prix on dirt at Perris Auto Speedway. He also landed the
first-ever win for his car owner Steve Osborne en route to the Ocean
crown.
The 21 year-old will
slide over to the 2011 Ocean Sprints championship Keith Day Trucking
#22 entry next season. The team also plans to enter multiple ASCS and
Civil War races including possibly the entire ASCS Northwest Speedweek.
"It felt really
great to get Steve his first Ocean Sprints win as a car owner," Golobic
said. "The opportunity to drive for Keith and Ronnie Day is
incredible and I am confident we can win or be in contention win a lot
of races this year."
"I also am really
excited to work with crew chief Rick Bragg," Golobic added. "I'm
looking forward to learning from all the experience that Rick and
Ronnie have in Sprint Car racing."
He will also return
to the prestigious Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals in Tulsa, OK this
January for Wilke-Pak Motorsports. His teammates in the Wilke-Pak
stable will include NASCAR Nationwide standout Cole Whitt and Indiana
non-wing 410 standout Chase Stockon.
Golobic's goal is to
have a strong A Main performance and to hopefully parlay the
opportunity into more Wilke-Pak drives throughout 2013.
"I am really looking
forward to running the Chili Bowl with Wilke-Pak Motorsports," Golobic
said. "Having great teammates like Cole and Chase makes me even more
optimistic that we can have a good showing! It takes all the help you
can get to run well against the competition that the Chili Bowl
offers."
Golobic will also
run select USAC and BCRA Midget races in Doug Bocks #26 in 2013
including tentative plans to compete in the Louie Vermeil Classic at
Calistoga Speedway.
Returning to the Joe
Vonschriltz #121, Golobic will drive that entry in a limited schedule
of major 410 races across the West Coast including several King of the
West and World of Outlaws events planned.
A complete schedule
of events for Shane Golobic Racing will be posted on his website when
available. Sponsorships are still available with Shane Golobic by
contacting him through [email protected]
Shane Golobic racing
is sponsored by Country Builders with a special thanks to Joe
Vonschriltz, Wilke-Pak Motorsports, Keith Day, and Doug Bock for the
support. Race fans can follow Shane Golobic on Twitter @ShaneGolobic
