By: Tom Harris Harris is believed to be the first British driver in generations (possibly since Stirling Moss’ father, Alf) to race in the US category for open-wheeled dirt oval race cars that counts Mario Andretti and NASCAR Champion Tony Stewart amongst its previous participants. “I cannot wait to get over and get stuck in with a new challenge,” says Tom Harris. “It’s always been my ambition to race in the US and progress my career, ultimately to World of Outlaws Sprint Cars. We had a great first test with Sprint Car legend Smiley Sitton last month and left him impressed. We were on the pace, so much so they even put fresh tyres on! The next step now is to get racing and finally show the US that drivers over here are just as good.” Harris, both a constructor and driver of World Championship- Harris is keen that as many European race fans make the trip and support the Harris team. “The Chilli Bowl has a great atmosphere with partisan fans all cheering their favourites inside this massive and unique indoor venue,” claims Harris. “European stock car fans are some of the best. We need as many of us out there to make some noise on and off the track!” Anyone wishing to back Tom Harris’ trip and sponsor the car is asked to get in touch via the Harris Motorsport Facebook page that will also carry updates about the trip. https://www.facebook.com/ End
