True Story Tuesday -The Win - Chase Montgomery

Meet my nephew, Chase Montgomery, started racing

go-carts at the age of 13 or 14. From there, things really

started to pick up.

By 2000, he was racing at the Nashville Fairgrounds

and from there he went into ARCA racing. In 2002,

he became runner up as Rookie of the Year.

In 2003 Chase and Alice Cooper went

into partnership together. I was blown away and

could not believe that my 19 yr.old nephew was going to be

in partnership with the most controversial rock star of the 70's.

Chase told me that Alice was a very nice and taught

Sunday school. If I am not mistaken Chase and Alice

even took in some golfing together.

Also that year Chase won the pole position for the ARCA

200 in Daytona, at the same time earning

the record as the youngest driver to sit on the pole in

Daytona.

Racing ARCA, he took home first place

at Daytona Motor Speedway in 2003.

The next weekend Chase raced his first BUSCH race and

did really well for himself, coming in 10th place.

From BUSCH Chase moved into racing Craftsman

Trucks. At this time he was racing with Bobby

Hamilton's racing team.

I have watched Chase race from the stands, from

the top of a hub to standing behind the pit crew.

It's very exciting and scary at the same time and

I have walked a hole in the area behind the pit crew

while I watched him.

Not only a talented driver, he is also talented

with his hands and mind. He has been helping his Dad,

my brother, in designing, remodeling and doing the wood

work in my brothers home. What a fantastic job he has

done.

I am very proud of Chase, he has become a very

talented and sweet young man. He married his

sweetheart Susan a year and a half ago and right

now he continues to work with his Dad.

Thank you for stopping in,
