BBR Announces Micro Division
Brady Bacon Racing is proud to announce the addition of a micro sprint division to their already diverse team. Brady Bacon cut his teeth in micro sprints and attributes much of his success to the skills he acquired during that time in his career. This project has been a year in the making and BBR is grateful for all of its suppliers who have helped make it a reality.
Bacon expands upon his idea, “I have always loved micro sprint racing and have had some great times and made lifelong friends growing up in that community. I also thoroughly enjoy helping young drivers improve and feel that my experience can help shorten their learning curve. I hope to give the best opportunity to learn on and off the track in order to create a strong foundation for their future. This team is something I have thought about for years and the pieces have finally come together.”
The team has assembled a Sawyer Chassis with engines from Metric Cycles fueled by Engler Fuel Injection. Brady explains, “It was natural for me to choose Sawyer Chassis, because I am so familiar with them and have had a ton of success in their cars. I wanted to be able to come out of the box with something I know is capable of winning. I also wanted to use Engler Injection because Tim Engler has a passion for racing that is unmatched. He has been a huge asset to my sprint car career and I know he will be a key to getting this team to victory lane as well.”
Keizer Wheels, FK Shocks by FK Indy, Lightning Wings, FK Rod Ends, Smith Titanium, Brown and Miller and Proglide Coatings will also be utilized on the car. “It has been great working with people and companies that I have built relationships with beginning in my micro days, as well as be able to grow relationships with companies I now use on my sprint cars. With the great support from everyone involved I know we have a car of the best possible quality.”
BBR will make it’s micro sprint debut at the Tulsa Shootout with Oklahoma’s young up and comer Gunner Bowden behind the wheel. Gunner feels he is up to the challenge, “I am glad to get an opportunity to be part of this team, learn from Brady, and hopefully improve as a driver on and off of the track. I have driven for my dad for 8 years and am ready for this change. I will do my part and hopefully make this team stand out. I am thankful for the entire situation.” Brady adds, “I was introduced to the Bowdens by one of my close friends, and it has been a pleasure getting to know them. Gunner has a lot of potential, and I am looking forward to providing him great equipment, helping him hone his skills, and prepare him for wherever his career may take him.”
