Tarheel Racing Supplies will be the DNQ Series Pole Award Sponsor more info will be announced at a later date.
ARCA Series
Kinder Out
John Kinder won the 2018 DNQ ARCA Series championship, however he can no longer run in the beginner DNQ class. Kinder will now have to run in the DNQ Carroll Tractor and Trailer Repair Busch Series. This has now opened his ARCA kart to Tony Barkman. Barkman made a few starts in the DNQ Busch Series last season but is ready to get into a competitive ride. "It's a great opportunity to drive the kart, I've got big shoes to fill. I know the kart will be there when I run. Hopefully the driver shows up and doesn't step on his dick"
Jeffords Is The Favorite
Brad Jeffords came close at the end of the 2018 season to winning a title, Jeffords has shown a lot of speed lately. We have Jeffords as the favorite to win the 2019 Championship.
Chris Page No Longer A Rookie
A win that wasnt a win after tech was the small highlight of the 2018 season for Chris Page. The true rookie did impress a lot of his competitors last season. With a year under his belt Page will now run in the ARCA Series with the bar raised and eyes on him. Page is in the best equipment but now it is time to perform.
ARCA Series Predictions
Champion - Brad Jeffords
2nd - Ronnie Shirk
3rd - Chris Page
4th - David Markham
5th - John Jarrell
Busch Series
Caitlin Benge Past Champion
Caitlin Benge came out as the champion in the 2018 season, however Rob Bates came on hard towards the end of the year after missing the first 4 races. Benge is very consistent and if she runs the CTTR Busch Series this year she will have more competition than last year. Benge had 2 Wins in 2018.
Rob Bates
Rob Bates won in his first 2 DNQ starts, a season that ended with 3 wins in 6 starts. Bates is our #1 to win the 2019 championship.
Busch Series Predictions
Champion - Rob Bates
2nd - Caitlin Benge
3rd - David Markham
4th - John Jarrell
5th - Josh Long
Cup Series
Jason Denney
UNTOUCHABLE was an understatement for driver Jason Denney. Denney won 7 races last season. Denney became an instant DNQ legend by winning 7 races in a season and winning the 2018 Championship. Denney has 1 IROC Series title as well and looks to be the favorite again in 2019. The only argument we may have by the end of the 2019 season is who is better Nye or Denney.
Tyson Fries
The hot rumor is Tyson Fries may run for the 2019 DNQ Cup Series Championship. Fries is a national peasant and runs at all the kart tracks in the area, but Fries is very fond of the DNQ style racing. Is this the guy that challenges Denny?
