BROCKTON, Mass. — 2011 NEMA Lite standout Seth Carlson & Gene Feigel Motorsports have decided to \u201cgraduate\u201d Carlson to the big leagues, committing to the full 2012 NEMA schedule. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to running with Greg & Russ Stoehr and Randy Cabral in 2012,\u201d said Carlson. \u201cI think there will be a lot of good racing in the 2012 season. I am very excited to get the chance to run with these guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
A multi time winner in 2011, Carlson will be coming to NEMA with his familiar, exceptional handling Drinan Chassis with an Esslinger powered \u201cspec\u201d engine \u2013 becoming a popular choice for the economics involved.
\n
\nCarlson, who counts Twin State Speedway as his favorite track, says \u201cThe 2011 season was a great learning experience. It was also great to get back on pavement after a few years running Dirt (at Whip City Speedway).\u201d<\/p>\n
On Carlson and his move to the full NEMA series – \u201cWe have always intended for the Lite series to be a perfect \u2018stepping stone\u2019 for the full NEMA series,\u201d said President Mike Scrivani. \u201cSeth is a perfect example of this \u2013 he came in, had a bit of a learning curve, then figured it out, and won a bunch of races. The Lite series was a perfect learning ground for him, and we\u2019re confident he\u2019ll be one of our rising stars in the NEMA series,\u201d continued Scrivani.<\/p>\n
Carlson is quick to credit Gene Feigel, his owner & sponsor, for helping his racing career along \u2013 and his father, for his countless hours spent working on the car and setting up the car at the racetrack. He also credits mentor Greg Stoehr for teaching him the old adage \u201cpatience is a virtue\u201d \u2013 after some early season DNF\u2019s due to a little \u201ceagerness\u201d to get to the front too quickly.<\/p>\n
With Carlson in top notch equipment, as well as the addition of Payne, Cantor, and Cabral coming back in a \u201cfreshened\u201d ride for 2012 \u2013 the competition should be ripe in the upcoming season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
