Jimmy Owens: Appliance Zone $70,000 2011 sponsorship candidate

Appliance Zone is offering a $70,000 sponsorship to a group of 5 drivers.  Today I am highlighting the driver of the Reece Monument Company, Gantte Apprasial, Alwee Trucking Company, Byrd's Radiator Vic Hill power Bloomquist Race Cars #20 of "The Newport Nightmare", "The O Show", Jimmy Owens of Newport, Tennessee.

Jimmy has been well known in the racing world for about the last 15 years.  He made his name first driving UMP Modifieds, wowing people wherever he went.  He won the UMP Modified national points championship 4 times (1998, 2000, 2001, 2002).  Jimmy has multiple crown jewel event wins in his career.  He is a 2 time North/South 100 Champion (2007, 2010), as well as having victories in the 37th Annual World 100 (2007), Hillbilly 100 (2008), Comp Cams Topless 100 (2009), and the 15th Annual Dirt Late Model Dream (2009).  The biggest of these wins was the Dirt Late Model Dream, which payed $100,000 to win.

Owens has proven that he is absolutely one of the best in the business.  He is a threat to win wherever he goes.  He is one of the more soft spoken drivers out there as well.  He is a single father as well to a little boy, Nathan.  When not racing, Jimmy is building his Loose Gruff modified chassis.  Jimmy would be a good candidate for the Appliance Zone sponsorship.  To vote for Jimmy, go to http://appliancezoneracing.com/Home/DriverDevelopmentContest.aspx register, then vote.
