NOTES AND QUOTES:
Reggie Showers, a heroic
double-amputee racer, backed up his victory at the K&N Filters Pro Bike
Klash with a Pro Stock Bike win at the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals.
Showers rode crew chief George Bryce's tune-up to elimination round
victories over Craig Treble, Angelle Savoie, Geno Scali, and Shawn Gann. This
was the first career win for the Prosthetic Design Inc. Suzuki rider.
George Bryce: “Man-oh-man!
We won a big battle at Indy! Two
of the racers we beat were the #1 and #2 championship points finishers from last
year and the other two were the current #1 and #2 points leaders from this
year…Wow!! Reggie was
awesome….he was ready. In the
past, when we would just miss a win, I would pat him on the back and tell him
that his first win would be big and to just wait.
God has great plans for Reggie.”
Reggie Showers:
"I've watched my heroes, John Myers and Dave
Schultz, win this race and for me to do it myself is just unreal," Showers
said. "On a holeshot no less. I don't think this will sink in for quite
awhile. I still don't understand what I've done here.
I've been on an incredible journey. Last year I made a tough decision to
change crew chiefs even when I had no idea George Bryce would be available. But
I guess God had a plan and he got us together, and look what's happened.
Thanks to the entire Star Racing team in Americus, GA for the awesome
power and support.”
