From the Chris Wimmer Pits... Wimmer Returns From South African Adventure; Quick car, but bad luck overseas
Wausau, WI February, 7th 2010 - Chris Wimmer returns from South Africa and the ASA Transcontinental Free State 500k with a laundry list of experiences. “The whole deal was really neat,” says Wimmer, “We obviously spend a bunch of time at the racetrack, but then got a chance to see some of the culture there before we left. It was definitely an experience I will always remember.”
Wimmer’s #52 Chevy was fast during all three practice sessions at the Phakisa Speedway in Welkom, South Africa. Wimmer then qualified 3rd for the first ever oval track race at Phakisa. “After the first practice we had some changes to make, but after that it was pretty good,” says Wimmer, “I was pleased with my qualifying effort. It was neat because they brought the top three qualifiers on to the front stretch and we got the chance to meet some fans. They were all so excited we were there and it was neat to see.”
