Brea Lopez Captures First Late Model Win At South Sound Speedway On Saturday Night!!!

Washington State driving star Brea Lopez and her team made a big decision together towards the latter stages of the 2008 racing season. Despite enjoying great success while competing with the Washington Midget Racing Assciation for the past four years, collectively Brea and the Team decided it was time to make a big change for 2009 and that decision led to the disposal of all of the Midget racing equipment and to make the transition into the Late Model divisions of racing. The spirited Lopez has been quick all season with her race car but has at times found making the transition into the full-fendered divisions of racing to be sometimes frustrating. After a third place finish a few weeks ago, Lopez was confident she could put her race car into victory lane before the season ended. Little did she know, the victory would be forthcoming at her very next race at the South Sound Speedway. >> release

 By Steve Pados, GA Motorsports Media

Washington State Open Wheel driving sensation Brea Lopez returns to racing action this coming Saturday night when the South Sound Speedway swings back into their weekly programs after a week off due to inclement weather. Lopez, who made her debut into the Limited Late Model Division two weeks ago, is hoping for better much better results with her second outing at the speedway. Hampered by the unpredictable early season weather, Lopez was only able to get one practice session in prior to making her initial debut into the Late Model division for the 2009 racing season. While Lopez came away from her initial session very pleased with the fact she was within 1/10th of second behind the fastest cars in her division, the lack of track time plagued her opening night bid when during the running of the feature event, she made some contact with another competitor and her mount suffered enough damage to end her night early at the speedway. With an extra week to prepare the racer back to top flight condition, Lopez is raring to go and confident she will have a much better performance and results with her next outing. >> release		  
  Open Wheel Sensation Brea Lopez Making The Transition To The Late Model Division For 2009 Racing Season
 By Steve Pados, GA Motorsports Media

Washington State Open Wheel driving sensation Brea Lopez will be making the transitional move into the Late Model division for the 2009 racing season. The young speedster feels the timing was right and has sold off most of her Midget racing equipment from a year ago as she embarks on her maiden journey into the full-fendered divisions of racing. Speed obviously will not be a problem for the 20-year old real estate agent as the late model cars are a half second or more slower than the Midget equipment she was racing in the past. Lopez feels her biggest concern will be adapting to her new race car that is more than two times the width of her Midget and three times heavier. Lopez has been a winner in every division she has raced up to this point in her career and is looking forward to the new challenges she will be facing in the Late Model division. >> more after the jump
