Our #28 Pepsi Max Super Late Model will once again be on the race track this Saturday night! The first race of the season on May 5th, didn't turn out well for us. After installing a new motor the night before, the team struggled with an electrical issue all day. Finally conceding that the distributor was faulty. The team has since installed a new distributor and the motor sounds beautiful.
After blowing the engine during lap 12 of the first test session of 2012, KRT was able to have a new engine built and delivered 1 day before the first race of 2012 only 2 weeks later! The crew installed that engine, working hard into the morning hours Saturday morning and was at the track Saturday afternoon only to find the distributor issues wouldn't allow the engine to get over 6000RPM thus ending the day for KRT and the #28 Chevy Impala SS.
KRT is anxious to race this weekend and anticipates a good showing. 'We hope to have a solid top 3 finish', said Wade Koens, driver of the #28 Impala. Koens went on to say, 'Because of our issues on the track since the first test session back on April 21st, we really have not had any laps yet this season, so this race is our first chance to tune the setup. We want to find speed and load up a clean car at the end of the night'.
