Minter to race "test" Goodyears

Minter to Race on Goodyear Eagle Tires

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (June 14) -- Kathryne Minter will be racing on Goodyear Eagle Tires when she competes in American Sprint Car Series events this weekend.

"We can't thank David Gracy of Carter-Maxwell enough for giving us the opportunity to test Goodyear tires this weekend," the driver of the #13m Concrete Crushing Company J&J said Thursday. "We're really excited to be racing on 'The Wings of Eagles,' and hope to make this a fulltime deal."

Minter, a 16-year-old racer from Bedford, TX, is the hottest young driver in auto racing. The 2006 graduate of the Lyn St. James Driver Development Program will race in Friday's ASCS Sooner Region event at State Fair Speedway in Oklahoma City and in Saturday's ASCS Gulf South event at Fast Trax Speedway in Chatham, LA. Minter, who finished 14th in the April 14th ASCS Sooner Region race at Cowtown Speedway, ranks 17th in the ASCS Gulf South point standings.
