Attleboro, Massachusetts (April 24, 2019) \u2014<\/strong>\u00a0Another one of the rising youngsters in Southern New England Legend Car racing is traveling north this season. Dighton, MA\u2019s Mason Levesque has entered the Bullring Bash Quarter Mile Challenge, presented by RaceChoice.com and will be heading to New Hampshire and Vermont for the trio of $1,500-to-win Midstate Site Development Legends events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The 16-year-old is entering his fourth year behind the wheel of a Legend Car and has shown steady improvement with each passing season. He now joins the Bullring Bash as part of his larger plan to move beyond the borders of Massachusetts and Connecticut.

\u201cWe really like traveling around to different tracks,\u201d Levesque said. \u201cWe don\u2019t like staying at one track. We like to travel around, and these are two of the tracks we wanted to race at. We wanted to run up north more this year, and the Bullring Bash fits in with that.\u201d

In 2018, Levesque competed weekly in both the Wild n\u2019 Wacky Wednesday Pro Legends at Connecticut\u2019s New London-Waterford Speedbowl and the Fast Friday INEX Legends at Massachusetts\u2019 Seekonk Speedway. He finished fourth in points at the Speedbowl and sixth overall at Seekonk. Levesque posted 21 combined top-10 finishes between the two tracks with a season-best of second at New London-Waterford on July 4.

Levesque also made a trip to N. Woodstock, NH\u2019s White Mountain Motorsports Park (WMMP), the site of the first two Bullring Bash events, for the NELCAR Amsoil Legends Tour event on September 16. He finished 12th<\/sup>\u00a0in that race out of a 26-car starting field and will continue to try and find more speed at both WMMP and Barre, VT\u2019s Thunder Road Speedbowl, which hosts the third event.

\u201cWe\u2019re probably going to attend a few practices beforehand if we can,\u201d Leveque noted. \u201cDuring practice, we\u2019ll also try to get in contact with people and ask them about their setups and gearing. We like experiencing bigger tracks, smaller tracks \u2013 we don\u2019t like to stick to one type of track, really.\u201d

The young Massachusetts racer will once again be behind the wheel of his #00 Greyhound Liquors Chevy Coupe for all three Bullring Bash events this season. Levesque\u2019s father Jason owns the car and also serves as crew chief.

\u201cHe\u2019s really good,\u201d Levesque said. \u201cWe\u2019re always working on the car, always trying to get the right setup. Since we\u2019re always going to different tracks, we\u2019re often trying new things and adjusting the setup. He\u2019s really big with that.\u201d

For Levesque, the Bullring Bash is more about getting out and trying new raceways than anything else. Still, he hopes to also bring home solid results against a growing entry list of the region\u2019s top Legend Car racers.

\u201cWe\u2019re hoping to at least get into the top-five,\u201d he said. \u201cA win would be really nice, of course, but we believe we have a top-5 car. There\u2019ll be a lot of people racing from Waterford and Seekonk, but we\u2019re also excited to race against people we haven\u2019t seen before.\u201d
