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!!”

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.

Last Lap Marketing Press Release

CHARLOTTE, NC (August 19, 2013) – This past Sunday was different than most for West Virginia’s Josh White, for this Sunday White was behind the wheel of an ARCA car. White made his first start of the ARCA season in the No. 3 Spur Chaser TV thanks to the folks at Wayne Hixson Motorsports Chevrolet who fielded a second car.  White qualified 27^th out of the 38 total cars at the Springfield, Illinois State Fairgrounds mile dirt track and was parked by ARCA officials a few laps in to the race, due to a lack of track time.

“It was a lot of fun, especially on dirt,” Josh White driver of the No. 3 Spur Chaser TV said. “This was the most excited I think I have ever been going to a race. I did what I do best, and adjusted quickly to the driving conditions and what I had under me. When I went out for practice though, my Spur Chaser TV Chevrolet was stuck in second gear but the WHM guys got it fixed for me. During qualifying I laid down a pretty soiled lap that I really happy about – the car had a lot of speed down the front stretch,” White added.

Josh White plans on returning to the seat on September 2^nd when the ARCA Racing Series heads to the DuQuoin State Fair, another dirt track that White is look forward to. The race at DuQuoin will be a big step for White because he will be able to keep logging laps to meet ARCA’s requirements to contest an entire race. “It’s a start, this is getting me where I need to be – everything from here is up hill,” White noted about his current start and park deals.

White would like to race more this season with hopes of racing full time in ARCA in 2014 as well as make a few NASCAR Nationwide Series starts. The race at Iowa is on the radar for White but attempting and running the race depends on sponsors that would like to come on board. Those interested in helping White get to the next level can contact him via email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. 

The race from Springfield will air this coming Friday at 11PM on NBC Sports Network, which will be White’s first National televised race, and it won’t be the last. Your company could get the same National exposure with White when the race from Iowa airs on the newest sports network, Fox Sports 1 on September 7, live! Don’t delay on this opportunity to join Josh White Racing by contacting White today.

CHARLOTTE, NC (July 5, 2013) - Derek DeMartino looks to take to the track once again tomorrow in his The Rocket 99.5 sprint car when he competes at Southern New Mexico Speedway.  This will be DeMartino’s first race since June 22 when he finished 17^th in the feature at the track due to ignition issues.

This weekend the entire team looks to make the best of what their season has dealt them, and go after wins by completing laps in the heats and in the feature. After getting off to a rocky start in 2013 from flipping and having mechanical issues, Derek DeMartino looks to take the 99.5 sprint car to the front this weekend.

“I’m looking forward to racing the rocker sprint car this weekend. Hopefully we have a good run considering the bad luck the past couple weekends,” Derek DeMartino said.  When looking at the first half of the year, when DeMartino had a wreck he says that it really isn’t bothering him. “The wreck at the beginning of the year didn’t faze me. We had a strong run after that.  We would have had a couple more good runs but we have had ignition problems. We finally got the problem fixed so it should be a good weekend for 4^th of July racing!”

After taking to the airwaves at The Rocket, 99.5 FM, DeMartino is excited to show all the listeners what he can do behind the wheel! DeMartino would also like to remind his fans about his fan car program on going throughout the 2013 season. Fans interested in being part of the fan car can visit http://bit.ly/DDMFanCar to find out how!
