Kris
Stump Sings the Blues in Nashville
(For Immediate Release)
Nashville,
TN (April 2, 2007)- Every driver comes to Nashville hoping
to go home with a brand new guitar. But sometimes in racing
you end up singing the blues instead! For the second straight
race 5K Motorsports driver Kris Stump ended up involved
in someone else's mess. "We wanted to win one for
tire man Gary Donegon, who is recovering from a heart
attack," said a disappointed Kris Stump. A poor qualifying
draw didn't do the team any favors with Stump starting
back in 16th place. On lap thirteen Bryan Clauson and
Ryan Lawler tangled with Stump having no place to go.
Crew Chief Paul "Rollie" Christman and the 5K
Motorsports crew got Kris back in the race to salvage
a 20th place finish. Kris' next race is coming up on April
14th at Toledo Speedway for the Glass Breaker 200.

While the 5K Motorsports team was enjoying the win, they

miss him this weekend, " said team owner Ken Wills.
"This win is for you Gary!" Both 5K Motorsports
cars ran a special "Get Well Soon Gary" decal
on the side of their cars.
About
Kris Stump
It was a case of being in the wrong place at the worst
time for ASALMS veteran Kris Stump this week in the Spring
Clash 200. "It was like San Antonio we just got stuck
there and then there was nowhere to go," said a dejected
Stump. Kris' 5K Motorsports team led by Crew Chief Paul
"Rollie" Christman was remarkably quick changing
radiators getting Kris Stump back in the race. "It
handled pretty good for not having a front end,"
said Stump. "We are due for some better luck."
Kris finished in 20th place in the Spring Clash 200. His
next race will be in his home state of Ohio for the Glass
Breaker 200 at Toledo Speedway on April 14th.
Kris'
Teammate Derek Thorn
This twenty year old from Lakeport, California has had
an impressive start to his ASA Late Model Series career.
Derek raced his way out of the obscurity of the bullrings
of Northern California to lead 137 laps and finish second
at Nashville last season. This week in the Spring Clash
200 at the Music City Motorplex Derek made an impressive
outside pass for the lead and brings home the new Copley
guitar! "I knew Charlie was looking for me to pass
down low so I went outside," said Thorn. Grabbing
his first win in just his fourth career start, Derek gave
the crowd his best Elvis imitation while strumming his
new guitar in Victory Lane! Next up for Derek and his
5K Motorsports team is the Glass Breaker 200 at Toledo
Speedway on April 14th.
