Braselton, GA. – Cale Gale will climb behind the wheel of the No. 83 Rheem – Gale Force Suspension Super Late Model Chevrolet for the first time this season at Lanier (GA.) National Speedway for SPEEDFEST 2011. Last year in this event, Gale finished eighth in the Kirk May No. 14 entry.

Gale has competed in SPEEDFEST for many years dating back to the Lakeland Speedway days capturing wins in the Super Truck series and he is excited about his chances winning this weekend. “Starting the 2011 racing season with a win would really be good for not just me but for my dad and the rest of the guys that work so hard day in and day out getting ready to compete,” Gale said.

Gale has started his last two races from the pole position which included the Snowball Derby in December but didn’t get the finishes he was looking for. This will be the third race in this car and when asked about his level of excitement Gale said he was confident in the car and the team.

Team Rheem will be well represented this weekend at Lanier Speedway with Brandon Jones and Spencer Davis competing in the Rheen Super Truck 100. This will be the second race of the 2011 season for the two young guns with Jones looking to capitalize on his second place finish earlier this month in the Shriners Bowl.

SPEEDFEST is this weekend with practice and qualifying today and Saturday. Features are starting with the Rheem Super Truck 100 on Saturday night and the Pro and Super Late Models running on Sunday afternoon. For more information on this weekend’s event you can go to www.lanierspeedway.com.
