SCORE DESERT RACE SERIES

13TH SCORE TERRIBLE'S PRIMM 300
Driver of Record Chuck Dempsey
to Race the HMS Avenger and
John Herder to Compete in the Jimco Dominator
Reno, NV --- Speed Technologies, one of the largest
and foremost off-road racing teams in the United States and Mexico, gears up
on Saturday, September 6th to defend their top three position in the SCORE
Desert Race Series at the 13th SCORE Terrible's Primm 300. The team plans
to enter two of their Class 1 cars in the race - the HMS Avenger driven by
Chuck Dempsey with Raymond Barre in the passenger seat and the Dominator
driven by John Herder with Joe Weining navigating. Dempsey, a former Baja
500 winner, maintains the top three point's position in the SCORE Desert
Race Series, along with his co-driver Raymond Barre and Mark Levrett.
"This race is important to us as a team - we love racing in Primm and with
the help of the Speed Technologies crew and our sponsor Toyo Tires I feel as
if our cars are ready to tackle the course and come out on top," said Chuck
Dempsey.
Dempsey, a season desert racer, is currently holding onto the top three
point's position in the Class 1 category of the SCORE Desert Race Series.
This veteran racer also competes in the Best in the Desert series and
recently spearheaded Speed Technologies expansion into CORR Racing and
hopes, along with the entire Speed Technologies crew, to help lead the team
to the podium over the next year.
John Herder, who took home first place in the Best in the Desert Terrible's
250 in 2006 in his Jimco Chevy powered Class 1500 car, will be behind the
wheel of the V-10 Jimco Dominator and plans to bring this car across the
finish line.
"We've been hard at work fixing some of the complications with the Dominator
and we're making strong progress," said team crew chief Phil Johnson.
Speed Technologies is not only committed to racing and competing in the top
races across the US and Mexico, but the philosophy behind the team based on
strong team work and race support. Realizing that they're well equipped to
deal with numerous issues both on and off the race course Johnson encourages
any teams who are in need of pit help to please feel free to use the Speed
Technologies pit crews to aid and assist their teams in anyway possible
during the race.
