BDI
Racing Signs New Hampshires Joey Pole for Late Model Program CONCORD,
NC (June 28, 2009) NASCAR TV on SPEED broadcaster Bob Dillner and 20-year-old
Joey Pole have two things in common; both have an unwavering passion for racing and both
grew up in the racing world of the Northeastern part of the United States. Now
together they are looking to share the joys of victory in Late Model racing. BDI
Racing announced today that Joey Pole (Polewarczyk) has been signed to compete in an
undisclosed amount of races with the teams Chevrolet Late Model development program. I
went to Thunder Road Speedbowl while in New England for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race
at New Hampshire and watched Joey win the Governors Cup; that completely sealed the
deal for me, said Dillner. He put a whoopin on the competition
there that night. Hes also got a great personality. We are looking
forward to showing the folks from Chevy what he can do in a racecar. Joey will be a
great addition to our program which features Michael Pope and Meghan Dillner in the Late
Model realm. I've
watched Bob on TV and all of the drivers seem to like him, so it is going to be awesome to
get to work with him, said Pole, who has won twice in the American Canadian Tour
competition this season. We have spent some time together recently and its
been great. BDI has one of the best teams around and to get a chance to run that
kind of equipment is great. Im looking forward to the exposure that this will
offer me and my career. Hopefully I can impress some people. If we have a
good run, it will be good for both of us. The
current plan is for Pole to compete in the Mason Dixon Meltdown at South Boston Speedway
on Saturday, October 17th with the Pro All Stars Series in one of BDI Racings
Super Late Models. Pole will also be under the BDI Racing banner for two other
prestigious Late Model races, the Oxford 250 on Sunday, July 19th at Oxford
Plains Speedway and the ACT Invitational event at New Hampshire Motor Speedway during
Sprint Cup Series weekend on Saturday, September 19th. Plans for other
races are still being discussed. BDI Racing does not want to interfere with Poles
quest for the ACT championship. I'm
looking forward to the experience, added Pole. I like the challenge of
driving a different car. (ACT Late Models have 350hp; Super Late Models have up to
600hp.) I'm looking forward to having a good race, finishing well and not tearing up
equipment. It's just awesome. Based
