Flames will be higher in 2014 as Garrett Marchant looks to make this his season, and with the help of new sponsor Grill Grip it is possible. Marchant begins his trek for the 2014 Limited Late Model Series Championship at the now NASCAR Home Track sanction track, East Carolina Motor Speedway tonight.

In 2013 Marchant had four top ten starts, finishes, and one top five finish across the Limited Late Model divisions he competed in. Coming off a solid previous season, Marchant is even hungrier to taste victory once again. The last time the No. 77 Chevy made it to victory lane was in 2010 when Garrett won at East Carolina Motor Speedway in the Pure Stock division.

Grill Grip, is a company founded by Patrick Radosevich, who after having his hand burnt in the hot Arizona sun wanted something that would protect his hand when grilling. After searching stores and the internet, Radosevich could not find anything that would solve his problem, so he developed Grill Grip. “I am looking forward to getting the Grill Grip recognized by establishing it as a successful brand and we believe we can do that with our partnership with Garrett Marchant Racing,” Radosevich said. All Grill Grips are customizable and are Made in the USA – there is even a Garrett Marchant Racing Grill Grip currently in the works!

“It's going to be a fun partnership! My team and I enjoy grilling out at the track as well as back home,” Marchant said about the new Grill Grip partnership. “Grilling is certainly in and with summer approaching I know all my fans and anyone in general could use a Garrett Marchant Racing Grill Grip!” When asked what his favorite item to grill is, Garrett said, “I personally have not (grilled), but I enjoy eating the food. Granddaddy, Tim Duggins, and Mike Jones are the official "grillers" for BMR Motorsports. I'll leave it in their hands!!”

Garrett would like to remind fans about his newest fan club package! The new Garrett Marchant Racing Fan Club will allow members to get some merchandise, exclusive GMR memorabilia, and a chance at social media fame! You can learn more by visiting http://www.garrettmarchant.com/fan-club.html.

CHARLOTTE NC (October 6, 2013) –  It’s October and Garrett Marchant Racing is doing its part to spread the word on Breast Cancer awareness.  Throughout October, Garrett Marchant and his team will implement pink wherever possible including Marchant’s No. 77 Lone Star Car Transportation Chevy, the team website, and social media networks.

The main focus of going pink will be on raising funds for Garrett Marchant’s Racing 2 Cure Program.  Marchant is an ambassador for the non-profit that aims at providing funds for cancer research as well as helping the “human side of cancer.” Racing 2 Cure helps families pay for tutor and lawn services, transportation to appointments while living with cancer, and helps with some medical bills. Since joining the program in mid-2012 Garrett Marchant and his fans have been able to raise nearly $500, but Marchant wants to push that to over $1,000 this year.

“I would love for all of my fans to take a moment and go to my donation site (www.racing2cure.org/drivers/GarrettMarchant) and at least one dollar. If everyone that likes my Facebook page and follows me on Twitter donates $1 that would be over $10,000 raised for Racing 2 Cure!” up-and-coming NASCAR driver, Garrett Marchant said. “The pink car is our way of honoring those fighting, have won the fight, and those that we have lost in the fight against breast cancer.”

Fans can also purchase a Racing 2 Cure hat and for every hat purchased, when putting Garrett Marchant as the referral, $2 will be added to Marchant’s Racing 2 Cure account. The hats are distributed by Last Lap Marketing and can be purchased at their website www.LastLapMarketing.com/Racing-2-Cure-Store.html. In addition, all hats are embroidery locally in North Carolina and are helping keep more Americans employed.

Garrett Marchant, driver of the No. 77 Lone Star Car Transportation was scheduled to race this past Wednesday but due to the forecast, the South East Limited Late Model race was canceled and left Marchant in a bind. Marchant has not been behind the wheel for more than a month and he really wanted to race this week.

The BMR Motorsports team took a look at the schedule this week, and notice that Southern National Motorsports Park was running a limited late model race. This is when Marchant took to Twitter and started looking for help for the bill this weekend since the team had already budgeted their money for the race at Caraway. Thankfully the fans came together to put Marchant behind the wheel in one of the biggest races he has run this year.

“Just as quick as things can go wrong, they can go positive,” Garrett Marchant said about how his luck has been this season. “There are going to be some heavy hitters in the field in the limited late model race, and I just want to come home completed all the laps on the lead lap and a possible top ten. I can’t thank all the fans enough as well for their support not just this week, but throughout the whole season. The fan car will be running sometime next month, and there will be plenty of names on the No. 77 @WalgreensCVAZ Chevy.”

Due to scheduling conflicts, updates from the track on Saturday will not be as often, especially during the race. The No. 77 AFG Home Improvements / Kim’s Sweet Sensations team will try their best to provide updates when available.

Don’t forget to also purchase your Garrett Marchant Racing merchandise including a t-shirt and decal. Special discounts are available for club members, which you can still up for at www.GarrettMarchant.com.

After taking a month off from racing action, Garrett Marchant driver of the No. 77 Lone Star Car Transportation Chevy, will get back behind the wheel this week at Caraway Speedway. This week’s race will mark Marchant’s return to the South East Limited Late Models series, where Marchant plans on contending for the series’ championship in 2013.

This trip to Caraway Speedway will be Marchant’s first time at the track, but that doesn’t mean he is not prepared for the race. With 21^st Century technology Marchant has been busy the past month gearing up just for this race.

“I am really excited to get back in the seat of the No. 77 @WalgreensCVAZ Chevy!” Marchant notes about racing at Caraway Speedway. “It will be my first Limited Late Model start of the year and I can’t wait to go after the South East Limited Late Model Series championship. I have been looking at video footage of Caraway as well as racing some on iRacing. Practice on Tuesday is going to be key for our team and I can’t thank them enough for their hard work on preparing the car!”

Due to scheduling conflicts, updates from the track on Wednesday will not be as often, especially during the race. The No. 77 AFG Home Improvements / Kim’s Sweet Sensations team will try their best to provide updates when available. A race recap will be posted on Thursday, and we would like to wish every a happy and safe Independence Day!
