Lavender Looks for Second Hooter's Win at Myrtle Beach on Saturday, June 25
 

Mooresville, NC (June 17, 2005) - Hartsville native Jody Lavender now lives in Mooresville NC but Myrtle Beach SC will be his favorite place on Saturday June 25th when the Hooters Pro-Cup Series competes at the Myrtle Beach Speedway.

Lavender says, “Myrtle Beach has always been one of my favorite tracks, and it’s also our “home-track” in the Hooters series. Many of my friends, fans, and family will be there and nothing would be better than to get our second win of the season in front of them. I think we have a good chance of winning. We tested last week and the car was good. Since our win at Ace Speedway, we have the confidence that we can win on any track on the circuit, but the competition is tough.”

After starting the season with mechanical problems in the first three races, Lavender has now moved into a tie for 11th place in the Southern points.

The Hooters Pro-Cup series has a Southern and a Northern division. At the end of the season, the top drivers in each division compete in a five-race battle for the national championship. Both divisions have a list of drivers that could be called the All-Star drivers. The Southern division has such names as Shane Huffman, Clay Rogers, Jay Fogleman, Toby Porter, Bobby Gill, Mark McFarland, Mike Garvey, Shane Wallace, Matt Carter, Randy Gentry, Billy Bigley, Jr., Chase Pistone, Jason Sarvis, Michael Ritch, and Jake Hobgood. The Northern division has such names as Benny Gordon, AJ Frank, Mardy Lindley, Jeff Agnew, Gary St. Amant, Joel Kauffman, Johnny Rumley, Danny Sammons, Mart Nesbitt, Mike Laughlin, Jr., and Jimmy Spencer, Jr.
