Brent Brevak Anxious For Chicagoland Speedway Debut

JOLIET, Illinois (June 3, 2011) - - Ashland, Wisconsin native Brent Brevak hopes that his third start of the season will be a charm when the checkered flag falls in Saturday’s Messina Animal Wildlife Stopper 150 at Chicagoland Speedway.

After tackling the two superspeedway events on the schedule at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway and Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway respectively, the Brevak Racing team took a breather to reorganize their organization as Brevak prepares to make his Windy City debut this weekend.

“I’m anxious for this weekend,” said Brevak, who graduated last Saturday from UW-EauClaire with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. “I’ve had some experience on these mile and a half tracks and actually have found them to be a favorite, but this will be my first start at Chicagoland Speedway this weekend. I’m optimistic that we can have a good run in our No. 3 Red’s Auto / Brevak Racing Dodge Charger.”

To better assist the 23-year old with the Joliet, Illinois race track, Brevak has turned to the ever popular iRacing; where he has mounted an enormous amount of laps practicing and participating in simulated races. Additionally, Brevak is hoping that his prior experience at Michigan International Speedway and Rockingham (N.C.) Speedway will pay dividends.

“Believe it or not, iRacing is very helpful,” Brevak explained. “A lot of the same fundamentals that apply at the track execute in the game. I’ve learned a lot about the line.”

After finishing 38th and 26th respectively in the first two events of the year, Brevak is oriented on obtaining a solid run that could potentially allow the family owned team to increase their limited ARCA schedule.

“We’re still digging hard to find some sponsorship,” sounded the son of 1990 ARCA Racing Series championship driver Bob Brevak and owner Shelly Brevak. “It’s still real tough out there but we have a lot of local support who continue to believe in me and this race team and that’s what is propelling us to Chicagoland this weekend.”

Undoubtedly winning the ARCA championship 21 years ago means that the team has reputable help at the race track, including the support of veteran ARCA car owner and winner Mark Gibson for the sixth race of the season.

“You cannot say enough about Mark Gibson,” Brevak mentioned. “He is just a great guy with an enormous amount of experience and dedication. He was definitely an asset to our program at Talladega and I know he will be even more helpful this weekend at Chicagoland. I am also looking forward to building a solid relationship with Mark as my crew chief as well.”

Brevak Racing encourages their fans and supporters to check out their official Brevak Racing Group Facebook page where you can find more about the team and the “Ride Along With Brent” fan participation program.

Sponsorship dollars will determine Brevak’s remaining ARCA Racing Series schedule but the team is hopeful to continue the season at Michigan International Speedway on Friday June 17.
