It’s everything
Predators fans love...a
fast paced sport and the
Predators Dance Team!
This Saturday, Blake
Lehr, who is sponsored
by The Orlando
Predators, will open his
racing season at USA
International Speedway
in Lakeland during
SpeedFest 2008.
“I’m ready to get
started,” said Lehr.
“And a lot of thanks to
the Predators for
bringing the dance team
out.”
Lehr will race both days
of SpeedFest, kicking
things off Friday night
in the Crate Late Model
Challenge 100 and
finishing up with
Saturday night’s Super
Late Model NOS Energy
Drink 200.
Lehr is only 17, but he
started his racing
career nine years ago
driving in the World
Karting Association and
hasn’t looked back.
“I’ve wanted to drive
ever since I was four
years old,” said Lehr.
“I used to watch NASCAR
races with my dad and
one day I told him I
wanted to be a race car
driver.”
Since then, he’s been
busy making a name for
himself in the racing
world. In 2005, Lehr
finished 2nd
in the nation on dirt
and then worked his way
into stock cars. The
following season he took
Rookie of the Year
honors in the Gulf Coast
Modified Series.
Don't miss Blake in his
Orlando Predators Bartow
Ford Fusion Friday and
Saturday night with
pre-race ceremonies
beginning at 7:30 p.m.
both nights. You can
also meet and get
autographs from Blake
and members of the
Predators Dance Team on
Saturday night at the
Speedway from 6 -7.
