2012
Charlotte, North Carolina (1 February 2012) - Even though it is the 'off-season' for most of motorsport, Kevin and Evan York of YORK Motorsport are hard at work formulating racing plans for 2012.
With memories of a diverse and competitive 2011, Kevin and Evan York are well into the planning stages for an equally fun and interesting 2012 racing season.
"Already, we've had several positive meetings regarding our hopes and desires for 2012", stated Kevin recently at the Charlotte Racer's Expo. "There is interest from some of our previous partners in continuing our relationships for the future. Too, we've had inquiries from new, potential partners that we have welcomed. As to where I or Evan will be racing exactly, that is still up in the air. We're looking at all our options, dirt or asphalt, circle track and sports car racing."
When asked what he'd like to do most, Evan replied: "I'm most happy in a competitive racing car. If I've got a race car - whether it's on dirt or asphalt - I'm good to go! Seriously, I was very fortunate to work with some great teams last year. The Dirt Track Racing School was a first-class team to be with for my US Legends Dirt Modified program. West Coast Touring Cars for my sports car sprint and endurance racing programs were great fun to be with. They have great history with my dad, so it was fun to join them. To do join both teams again in 2012 would be just fine. Additionally, we are looking at other programs too..."
One thing that YORK Motorsport fans have been active in supporting in the opening months of 2012, is Evan's push to become a winner in Federal Mogul's, Search For A Champion contest. Evan has the possibility of winning significant financial backing from Champion Parts should his video win. To see the video and cast your vote for Evan, see: http://tinyurl.com/champion2012
