As the years go by there is always change. New Young talent appears on the scene, some drivers go by the way side perusing other dreams… some of them retire, and many of our long time cherished family leaves us to be with
“Our Maker”. With the passing of a great, dedicated, devoted car owner, Ron Chaffin, a large void will be felt throughout the USAC/CRA community, missing his infectious smile and his quirkie hat – on to the absence of the iconic “ # 50. Little Red Sucker. The history of The Little Red Sucker goes back to Ascot days with the Bruce Bromme Sr. at the helm, the tradition continued with Ron coming into the scene as car owner and Bruce Bromme JR, taking control of the wrenches. The absence of the #50 car for sure creates a large void, but also, leaves the 5 time USAC/CRA Champion, Mike Spencer without a cockpit to strap into. Not ready to hang up his helmet, Mike was in the quest to find a new home. Tom & Laurie Sertich of Moose Racing agree that the loss of this extremely talented driver is something the USAC/CRA family does not want to see.
In talking to the Sertich’s “ running even 1 competitive sprint car is challenge enough, emotionally and most of all financially, but 2?
The Moose’s love and dedication to this sport is endless and has been proven for almost 25 years. But to keep this 2nd car on the track for Mike for the entire USAC/CRA season, they have to reach out and find marketing partners. If you or anyone you know is looking to expand their advertising ventures Team Moose promises to promote you and make you proud. . As it is said over and over, every $$ helps in keeping the cars on the track.
If anyone can reach into their pockets, & contribute any of their hard earned money, every dollar helps.
They hope to make the addition of Mike to Team Moose to be a win win for Mike, Jake, Team Moose and The Numerous Fans .
UPDATE: om & Laurie would like to thank everyone involved in the quest to seat Mike in the 92M car for the 2016 season. The support of so many has been overhelming!! As everyone knew, funding this 2nd car was going to be a challenge. It was going to take reaching out to many friends and companies to keep things rolling in a positive direction, but Moose Racing was bound and determined to make it work! SO many people came together and there were venues planned for the upcoming months.
Unfortunately with this concern on everyones mind, Mike opted to weigh some options, and as a result he has made the decision to move to a well funded team, where finding funds to keep 2 cars on the track doesn’t seem to weigh into the equation. We wish him the best of luck
