“I’m really excited about getting the chance to race at the Dirt Track in
Las Vegas,” said the 18-year-old Kid Rocket. “We visited the dirt track at
Las Vegas last year but the track was idle. It looks like the type of track
that I usually do well at.”

Dickens Racing Engine sponsored by Roadrunner Fabrication, Rocket Chassis,
Peterson Fluid Systems, AFCO, Jay Dickens Racing Engines, Braswell

about his upcoming ’07 360 OTC World of Outlaws Late Model Series season.
