CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Racer Spotlight

This week we are travelling down to Lexington, NC (The BBQ Capital) to introduce everyone to Mr. Lee Truell. He is 58 years old & has been racing for 21 years. Lee's car is a 2008 Chevy Cobalt powered by a SBC 300 CI built by none other than Sloan Racing Engines. This car was an old Arnie Martel car. You've also seen him in the past little while behind the wheel of both of the Sloan Racing Engines cars as he drove Tim's at the Saturday Farmington Dragway race & then drove Hillarey's at the recent NHRA Southeast Division 2 race at Rockingham Dragway where I'm pretty sure he is down to the finals with plans to complete at an upcoming race. His sponsors include his own business, Truell Grading & Sloan Racing Engines. His most memorable win would be his last win which was in November 2021 at the CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association finale at Coastal Plains Raceway Park Dragway. Lee says his most epic fail is his runner-up finish at the World Finals at Rockingham Dragway when he redlighted. He gives Special Thanks to his wife, Jamie, his family, & of course Sloan Racing Engines! Lee battled all year in 2021 & finished in the 3rd place position for the CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association. Like always, he is hoping to improve that finish this year.

Lee is somewhat on the quiet side but once he gets comfortable around you, he opens up & is a great person to have not only as a competitor but also as a friend. He is always willing to jump in to help a fellow racer in need. You will find him riding his doggie on the golf cart at the track & I think the doggie has him just a tad bit wrapped!!! Lee is finalizing the rebuilding of his engine as we currently speak & will be putting it back in later this week with plans to make it to KDS Motorsports on Friday evening so be sure to stop by his pit area this weekend & give him a shout!!

CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association is back in action for our 3rd stop of the season this weekend at KDS Motorsports. Gates will open on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. with time runs beginning at 2 p.m. We look forward to seeing everyone this weekend & be sure to come hungry so you can enjoy the 🐷🐽 picking on Saturday evening!!!
