Gearing up for 2012

The 2012 racing season is quickly approaching, and team 73 has been working hard to prepare for it.  Including a recent educational trip to the Bob Pierce Race Cars headquarters in Oakwood, Illinois, where they learned a lot about the up-and-coming technology and some of the latest chassis set-up information.  The team has much of the same in store for 2012, including several Northern Late Model Racing Association races and several DART Challenge Series shows scheduled.  Team 73 plans on opening their season at the Central MN Icebreaker April 19-21 where the late models will run 2 complete shows, each paying $2,000 to the winner.  Other specials will include the Tony Stewart special in Fargo, ND; King of the Dirt in Fergus Falls, MN; and the John Seitz Memorial in Grand Forks, ND.  The team will once again be piloting Bob Pierce Race Cars with sponsorship from Shaw Trucking, Glenwood State Bank, Midwest Grain Systems, Channel Seeds, Elite Shock Services, Trent Signs and Graphics, Steussy Diesel, DS Powersports, Prairie Lakes Coop, Midwest Machinery, and several others.  In addition, Johnson Racing would like to welcome Greeley Plumbing and heating, and Lowry Insurance to the team for 2012!  We are excited and thankful for these new partnerships.  Team 73 would like to thank all of their sponsors, fans, and crew members!  Looking forward to a successful 2012!!!
