The NASCAR K&N Pro Series East returns to action Saturday at Columbus Motor Speedway and Rev Racing hopes to continue its recent success at the Ohio oval.
Since 2011, Columbus has held four K&N East races and Rev Racing has won three of those competitions. Darrell Wallace Jr. won the inaugural event for the team in 2011, Daniel Suarez scored his first series win at the track in 2013 and Sergio Pena won there last year.
Last year, Rev Racing entries finished 1-5-13 at the .333-mile semi-banked oval. In 2013 the team finished 1-4-10 and in 2012 posted results of 6-13-12 after Kyle Larson cut a tire with 10 laps to go and dropped from second to sixth. At the inaugural showing in 2011, the team finished 1-11-14-15.
Rev Racing will be led by veteran driver Jay Beasley. The Las-Vegas, Nevada, native has had a string of success lately with finishes of eighth (Iowa Speedway), fourth (North Carolina’s Bowman Gray Stadium) and fifth (Virginia’s Langley Speedway). The 23-year-old finished 13th last year during his Columbus debut.
Beasley’s teammate, Kenzie Ruston, also has some experience at the Ohio track. In two showings at the 23-year-old El Reno, Oklahoma, driver has finished eighth (2013) and fourteenth (2014).
Their fellow Drive 4 Diversity drivers, Devon Amos and Collin Cabre, will be making their Columbus debuts this weekend.
