NEWS FROM JR BERRY RACING
BERRY RACING PREP FOR RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES OPENER SATURDAY, APRIL 28
Ned & Mary Jean Berry have announced that JR Berry will be their driver for the Rislone URC sprint series of 2012.
JR Berry will drive the car as Tim Higgins takes a break after his heart attack that took place at the Delaware International Speedway last season. Hopefully, Tim will be well enough to get back in the car in the year 2013. JR started his racing career at the Linda's Speedway running 4 cylinders in 1993 where he claimed 18 Feature Wins. Then with the help of his father, he purchased his first sprint car and with a motor sponsored by Duval & Sherry Dressler, he began his sprint car racing career in the year 2000. This is the year where he claimed the Rising Star Award, finished in the top ten in points, and earned respect from his fellow competitors.
Since 2004, JR has been running his 410 when possible and always makes the full USAC Swing. He will continue to run his own car on the off weeks that the Rislone URC Sprint Series is not running and take part in some double duty nights along the season. JR Berry will be at the Rislone Sprint Series opener on Saturday night, April 28.
Ned and Mary Jean are hoping to have a successful season with JR planning to run the entire Rislone URC Sprint Series. The last time JR and his dad had teamed up, was the 2001 and 2002 season with the KARS Sprint Series and they greatly enjoyed their success.
The Berry Team will be starting the season out with the car they put together from the last show of 2011. Berry Racing also have another complete car as backup with an extra chassis. Currently, Ricki Kehl of Kehl's Auto Service is freshening the motor with machine work being done by Squeak Automotive Machine. Also returning to Berry Racing will be Shompers Super Lube out of Williamstown, PA., Higgins Automotive out of Reading, PA., Fleetwood Auto Parts out of Fleetwood, PA., Fleetwood Beverage out of Fleetwood, PA., and Paint by Cody and Angel Kerschner and family.
