Chris Ferguson Posts Podium at Cherokee; Illini 100 Next

Mt. Holly, North Carolina (03/27/17) – Behind the wheel of the Jeremy and Tina Bullins-owned #22 Joe’s Racing Products/ Rocket XR1 Crate Late Model, Chris Ferguson raced to a podium finish over the weekend in the 7th annual Bill Hendren Memorial at Cherokee Speedway.

With 33 entries on hand for the $5,000-to-win event, which was sanctioned by the Southeastern Crate Association (SECA), Chris started his outing by qualifying fastest in time trials. He would back up his qualifying effort by winning his heat race.

In the redraw Ferguson was the recipient of the 2nd-starting position for the 60-lap finale. He would battle at the front of the field throughout the feature before ultimately settling into a 3rd-place finish behind race winner, Trent Ivey, and Ryan Atkins.

“We had a really good car, but just couldn’t quite get to the lead,” said Ferguson. “I’m just so grateful that Jeremy and Tina [Bullins] provide me this great car to drive. Hopefully I can put it in Victory Lane for them in the very near future.”

Chris will return to the driver’s seat of his Champion Spark Plugs #22 Rocket XR1 Super Late Model this weekend as he makes the long trek to Farmer City Raceway (Farmer City, Illinois) for the annual Illini 100. The World of Outlaws (WoO) Craftsman Late Model weekend opens with a $6,000-to-win event on Friday and concludes with a $15,000-to-win program on Saturday evening.
