Evan and friends enter Endurance Karting race event
Evan York has created a team with two other North Carolina racers in a collaborative effort to compete in the upcoming Endurance Karting event November 9th at Lowes Motor Speedway.
Driving with Evan will be the brother and sister duo of Neil and Shelby Hammerstein of Garner, NC.
Neil and Shelby are well known in the indoor karting ranks as fast and competitive drivers. Both are regulars at Rush Hour Karting in Raleigh. Additionally, they are actively involved in the Raleigh Area Public Safety Racing League also known as the RAPS Youth Racing League.
For this event Evan has secured sponsorship from GoEnzo.com the promotional website for the New York Times Bestselling book, The Art of Racing in the Rain authored by Garth Stein.
Neil and Shelby have received their sponsorship for their effort from the Raleigh Area Public Safety Racing League promotional fund.
The event will be held at the CIK/FIA kart racing track located at Lowes Motor Speedway in Concord, NC.
Endurance kart racing was essentially developed in Europe for those who wanted a demanding, but inexpensive way to participate in long distance motor races using teams of drivers.
Patterned after endurance sports car racing like the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Daytona Rolex 24 and the Sebring 12 Hours of Endurance, this popular form of motor sports has taken root and grown all over the European continent.
This event at Charlotte will certainly test the mettle of the trio, however they claim they are up to the challenge!
