February 3, 2009 –"We really appreciate the support from FORD and Cliff Irey (FORD Motorsports Director) especially in this uncertain time of American auto manufacture" said Team owner/driver Chet Huffman.
The words "FORD and SUCCESS" already go hand in hand for the Huffman / Whelchel match-up with multiple wins each running the powerplants in the not so distant past. Huffman ran a FORD powered Pro-Truck with success from 2000-2003.
Whelchel won a impressive CORR PRO2 Championship in 2007 running a FORD with Wide Open BAJA as well as fielding their FORD powered Nye Frank built TT.
In SCORE Whelchel experienced multiple wins running FORD with Mark Post in the Riviera Racing #3 Trophy Truck.
Whelchel's Wins with Riviera include: (2) San Felipe 250's, Laughlin, Primm and Henderson. Whelchel's history with FORD goes deeper than that driving a Grand National Sport Truck for Jim Venable in the Mickey Thompson Series.
"We're looking forward to this relationship and working closely with FORD to promote the brand", said Jerry Whelchel. We're a Patriotic group and it doesn't get any more AMERICAN than FORD.
