Brad Furr Announces 2003 Race Plans

Pleasanton, CA, (Dec 04, 2002) – Brad Furr Racing today announced the team's plans for the 2003 race season. The year, the team plans on participating in approximately 55 events with approximately one half being with the Golden State Challenge "King of California" Sprint Car Series. In addition, the team plans on racing a number of events with the World of Outlaws and the annual Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup.

The first event of the 2003 race season will be the World of Outlaws season opener in Hanford, California. Brad Furr said "We figured that after four years on the road running approximately 130 nights a year when you include Australia, it is time to focus on other priorities in life. Our goal is to continue to race, winning several along the way, and just enjoy life a bit more. Running with the World of Outlaws is both a tremendous learning experience and very rewarding. However, it is intense and it is very much a business. The pressure night in and night out is huge. For this year, we want to enjoy the sport and have some fun."

Mike Harper, the team long time Crew Chief and the winner of the 2002 World of Outlaws Crew Chief of the Year Award added, "I am really looking forward to the 2003 season as a year to enjoying the sport. Last year I drove over 60,000 miles. This year, I am starting a new job and I want to focus my efforts on being successful with the job. However, I can also look forward to the weekends now knowing I can still do what I enjoy."
