80cc shifter kart standouts Cole Whitt, and Ryan Phinny spent
today testing in the WSM/MMI FTR 1600.
"Both drivers were outstanding, said Telo Stewart World Speed
Motorsports team owner. With the amount of race experience these
kids have it is to be expected, but it always is surprising how
much feedback that they are able to give us after only a couple of
sessions."
Bill Mayer President of MMI had
these comments for the drivers and their parents; “The idea
behind our helping young karters move up the ladder and into cars
is that through the experience they will learn a lot about life in
general. I call it Building Kids Through Motorsports and things
like this test are experiences that will, hopefully, give these
kids something to shoot for and an idea what it takes to
succeed.”
The drivers were hand picked at the 2003 SuperNats by Michael
McDowell who won many races in the same car Cole and Ryan tested.
