Thursday
Charlie Vest to run the ABR LoanMax No. 1 for Kentucky Speedway’s Click It or Ticket. Drive Smart! Buckle-Up Kentucky 150
Press Release
Vest has three prior starts in the ARCA RE/MAX Series but will make his fourth and first ever start at the Bluegrass track following the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event Saturday night.
Vest first got involved with the ARCA RE/MAX in 2007 when driver Brian Silas joined the series. Silas had been driving one of Vest’s FASCAR Late Model cars, which Vest leases, through his company Volusia County Racecars.
At the time, Brian was running for Bobby Jones in the ARS and asked Vest to join him on the team. While Vest was enjoying racing in his own FASCAR Late Model he accepted Silas’s offer. During the past two years, Vest has served as the Stuart, Florida native’s spotter on many occasions when car owner Andy Hillenburg was unable to do so.
In 2008, the Orlando, Florida resident was presented the opportunity to run for Andy Hillenburg as well.
Vest ran in the ARCA RE/MAX Series races at Springfield, Cayuga and DuQuoin Speedway’s. Springfield was his first time on a dirt track, to say the least it was quite an experience.
The 35-year-old did not have a full crew, in fact Silas’s pilot served as his spotter.
After starting in the 28th position and running in the top-10 for most of the race, Vest was able to soldier home in the 14th position. Vest also tested at Daytona International Speedway this past December with Andy Hillenburg and was granted his superspeedway approval.
Along with LoanMax, World Class Stone of Orlando, Florida will appear on the ABR No 1 for this weekend’s festivities.
Additional marketing partners for Vest’s venture will BuckedUp apparel and Volusia County Racecars.
