Sponsorship Request
Introduction
My name is Dave Vance and I am seeking sponsors to help with my 2010 racing season. I have been a resident of Waxahachie since 1994 and raced my first season at 85 Speedway in 2008 in the Cruiser division as #80.
I have outlined my racing achievements and benefits to sponsors below. I have also included information about 85 Speedway. You can view my photographs, videos and detailed stats on this website.
2009 Achievements
Finished fourth in overall points for the entire season at 85 Speedway in Ennis, TX with:
- Seven heat race wins
- Four feature race wins
- Seven top five feature race wins (excluding the four feature race wins)
I made 21 of the 21 race nights during the regular season from March 21 to September 27.
2008 Achievements
Finished fifth in overall points for the entire season at 85 Speedway in Ennis, TX with:
- Three heat race wins
- One top two feature finish
- Four top five feature finishes (excluding the top two feature finish)
- Eight top ten feature finishes (excluding the top two and five feature finishes)
I was one of two rookies that finished the season in the top ten.
I made 25 of the 27 race nights during the season from March 15, 2008 through September 27, 2008, with our end-of-year Black and Gold Shootout on October 18, 2008.
I began building the car in September 2007 without help from racing or mechanic shops. I funded the building, all repairs, and racing fees in 2008 with very little financial assistance.
