JANUARY 9- 2009 (WINDOM, MN)

WIDE OPEN IN 2009

The finish of the 2008 racing season ended on a high note for T-MAC and the Big Game Motorsports team. Through the second half of the season the team recorded 18 top 10 finishes, 6 top 5 finishes, while landing in victory lane at Orange County Fair Speedway. Maintaining this top 5 point average through the end of the season drove the team's charge from tenth in WoO point standings to an eighth place finish at year's end. Only one point separated the team in the hunt for seventh place, and with a little luck they may have grabbed sixth place as well. No other team in the WoO series made up this much ground on the competition during the critical second half of the season.

T-MAC and the team have not let go of that 2008 momentum, and it's fueling them as they prepare for 2009. Don't be fooled, though. It's just no last year's finishes that have them anticipating the start of 2009. Tod Quiring's ownership led him to begin making critical improvements to the team's foundation before the 2008 season ended. The largest of these improvements is a new Lester Buildings race shop and headquarters, which sits directly next door to Big Game Treestands' corporate offices. The new shop is enabling the team to be more prepared heading into 2009 than they ever have been in the past. Tod tells us, "We have worked very hard the past 6 months to assemble a team that we feel will be one of the best in the country. Gary Isom, Greg McCormick and Brandon Ikenberry will be the nucleus of our traveling team. All three of these guys have been with us before. They are extremely dedicated, and we all share the same goals. Jason Eckard and Brian Woizeschke will be back at the shop supporting our team throughout the season, and we are very happy to add Rich Toews as our Team Operations Manager. Rich brings a wealth of knowledge to our team and will oversee our day to day operations. The guys have been putting in a great deal of off season work. We will have our entire fleet of cars and parts ready when we start the season in Florida. Terry has been extremly focused during the off season and I expect this will carry over into the racing season. Our schedule hasn't been established yet but we are strongly leaning towards a wide open 90-100 race schedule. Who knows, you may see us at the Kings Royal one weekend and a Knoxville weekly show the next." Log on to www.biggametreestands.com to see images of the team's new race shop & headquarters!

T-MAC will again steer the potent black & blaze orange #24 through the 2009 season. After making the switch to Maxim Chassis in mid 2008, and establishing the team's 2009 members for the season was finished, Terry feels he has a team behind him that will contend for wins every night out on the track. "I started getting excited about the 2009 season when we were out in California last fall. I could tell then that we were putting a team of guys together who have a ton of potential. I'm just so excited to get to the race track with these guys behind me. I believe in them, they believe in me, and with Tod at the top directing us I don't think there's anything we can't do together this season."

So, for the Big Game Motorsports team it's a time of confidence and anticipation heading into 2009. No matter if it's the Outlaws, the All Stars, the ASCSoT, or the team's old rivals at Knoxville, they will be prepared to take them all on. Wings or no wings, 410's or 360's, it simply won't matter where the competition finds them in 2009. The 24 car will be coming cocked and loaded!
