GERALD RACING TEAM LLC AND FOREST COUNTY POTAWATOMI TEAM UP FOR 2008!

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- WSORR Light buggy driver Matt Gerald recently announced his partnership for the upcoming season. Matt, one of the top light buggy drivers in WSORR is now being partnered with The Forest County Potawatomi; the team feels they can really be a title contender for 2008.

Gerald’s 2007 season was full of lots of ups and downs. Matt won one race and had several top 5 finishes. Gerald led the point’s championship a couple of times throughout the season. The World Championship weekend in Crandon was not all that kind to the team; while Matt was leading the World Championship race, contact with another driver caused Matt to retire early.

Sunday’s race was not any kinder to Gerald and his team, as they passed into second place, contact in turn one caused Matt to barrel roll approximately six times at 70 mph destroying the car and breaking Matt’s knee cap. Days later Gerald had surgery and was forced to sit out the last weekend of the year.

Soon after the season Flying Dutchman Off-Road lead fabricator, Mike Vanden Heuvel along with Crew chief Curt Gerald, started construction of the new car. The car should be completed shortly and will be ready for pre season testing in May.

Matt and his team will debut their new race car May 16th-17th in Owatonna, MN at the Steele County Fairground's Owatonna Off Road Raceway for a tune up race before the WSORR season opener at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO May 31-June 1.

Forest County Potawatomi, Goodyear Tires, and King Shocks will be behind Matt for 2008.
