Lines Arrives in America

17-6-2008

South Australian Steve Lines has arrived in America and is now focusing on his ‘360’ Sprintcar debut that is set to take place this Friday night (June 20) at Oglethorpe Speedway Park in Savannah, GA.

Over the past week since his arrival in America, Lines has been spending time with J&J Auto Racing boss Jack Elam organising the shipment of six brand new J&J’s to Australia for a number of competitors.

Lines met up with JSM Enterprises Jeff McCall, who is going to be Lines’ car owner for the entire trip, at Cherryville NC over the weekend and that is where he is to be based for the next three months.

This Tuesday night (June 17) former World of Outlaws champion and now NASCAR driver Dave Blaney is to campaign the McCall owned J&J that Lines is set to drive at Sharon Speedway, Hartford, Ohio, in the opening round of the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet ‘360’ Challenge. Lines will then make his debut in the ‘360’ Sprintcar ranks with the car that Blaney drove this coming Friday night at Oglethorpe Speedway Park.

“I cannot wait to get out there for my first run, and just get amongst it,” Lines enthused.

“Since I have arrived I have been organising with Jack Elam for half a dozen J&J’s to be shipped over to Australia, and now that is all sorted, I can now focus on what I’m here for, and that is racing.”

Stay tuned for regular updates throughout Lines’ American tour.
