CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Racer Spotlight:

Korey Alexander of Maple Hill, NC (Jacksonville) is this week's racer spotlight. He is only 31 years old & has been racing for 10 years so far. Korey has both a Stocker & Super Stock car. His Stocker is a black 1978 Chevy Camaro aka "Black Jesus" powered by a 350 CI built by Victory Race Engines. His SS car is a 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme aka "Gutless" with a SBC 327 built by Robbie Draughon Powertrain Development. You will mainly find him piloting his 78 Camaro in competition at CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association races. Korey finished in the 8th position in 2021 CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association points series missing our very first race of the year for a bachelor party. Korey states that his most memorable win was the 2021 NHRA Southeast Division 2 National Open race at GALOT Motorsports Park in Stock Eliminator. He would like to give Special Thanks to his wife, Kelsey, his business & employees at Piney Green Electric Company, Robbie Draughon, Redline Speed Shop, his family, & his fur babies! His sponsors include Piney Green Electric Company & Ronny's Muffler Shop. His most epic fail was being .270 on the tree for 2021 Gainesville J/SA Class Eliminations in Stock & losing by .007 to Eric Campolito.

Korey is a "special breed"! 🙂 (love you, mean it) He can't be missed at the track as all you've got to look for is his mullet! Korey & Kelsey are expecting their first child in November & we are all looking forward to welcoming Baby Alexander to the CCRA family! Korey is one of those guys that's always willing to jump in & help a fellow racer when in need. But don't ever expect him to be on time as he'll be late for his own funeral!
If you're planning to be at Virginia Motorsports Park this weekend for the Virginia Nationals, Korey will be debuting a whole new set-up in his Stocker. 🤐🧐 Be sure to stop by Korey's pits at the next race & strike up a conversation with him.

CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association will be back in action on June 4th & 5th at KDS Motorsports. See y'all at the track soon!!

CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Racer Spotlight:

Hillarey Sloan Marshall is our racer spotlight this week. She is 42 years old, lives in Broadway, NC, & has been racing for 23 years. You will find her wheeling her 1971 Plymouth Duster powered by a 360 CI built by her dad, Tim Sloan of Sloan Racing Engines at CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association as well as NHRA Southeast Division 2 races. Her primary sponsor is of course Sloan Racing Engines! Hillarey's most memorable win is beating her dad in the finals of the CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association at Mooresville Dragway. One of her accomplishments is the NHRA Southeast Division 2 race win at Rockingham Dragway. She would like to give Special Thanks to her husband, Scott Marshall, mom & dad, & Sloan Racing Engines. Hillarey didn't enter the CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association points series in 2021 as she got a late start but still attended as many events as she could. She also got married to her husband, Scott, in November 2021. At our last race of the season at Coastal Plains Raceway Park Dragway, which was the week following their wedding, they had to leave the race early as Scott "misplaced" his new wedding band! Good news is it was found once they got home & that one is now in their safe at home for "safe keepings" 😉!

Hillarey & her family are always willing to help fellow racers at the track as their family business does engines for several of the CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association & NHRA Southeast Division 2 racers. Be sure to stop & tell Hillarey hi at our next race.

CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association will be back in action in 2 weeks at KDS Motorsports. See y'all at the track soon!
