Steve Casebolt: 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 Dixie Choppers Rocket Chassis Late Model powered by a Cornett Racing Engine car #c9 of Steve Casebolt of Richmond, Indiana.

Steve had pooled his resources with car owner Bob Harris earlier this year, having a fantastic run at the Show Me 100.  However, they parted ways and now Steve is the driver and the owner, and I know this sponsorship could really help his program out.  He is a talented driver with some big accomplishments to his credit.  He was the 2000 Renegade STARS Rookie of the Year.  He won the Spring 50 feature at Florence, Kentucky in 2003.  In 2005, he scored his first Lucas Oil Late Model feature win at Elkins, West Virginia.  In 2006 Steve went out on the Lucas Oil series full time and was the Rookie of the Year, and finished 6th in the final point standings.  In 2007, Steve made himself well known to those who really didn't know him.  He had 2 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series wins, one at Muskigum County (OH) Speedway, and one at Florence Speedway.  His biggest career accomplishment came on the hallowed grounds of Eldora Speedway as he held off one of Dirt Late Model biggest stars, Scott Bloomquist.

Steve would go on to finish 3rd in Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Points that season as well, a career best.  He would finish 3rd in points in 2008 as well.  Last year, Steve finished 8th in points.  You can go vote for Steve by going to http://appliancezoneracing.com/Home/DriverDevelopmentContest.aspx and registering, then vote.
