| Bobby Orr Named Honorary Starter for Pete Orr Memorial Orange Blossom 125 | Samsula, Fla - FASCAR announced today that the youngest
son of Charles "Pete" Orr will be the Honorary Starter
of the first annual Pete Orr Memorial Orange Blossom
125 sponsored by the Daytona News Journal on January
25th.
Young Orr has made his own mark in the two short years
he has been racing winning the 2002 Mini Stock
Championship at Orlando SpeedWorld. In 2003, he will
wheel the #30 Late Model owned by Bobby McClelland.
"My dad was a great racer and I cannot think of a nicer
honor than to be the honorary starter for his race,"
said Orr. "Dad won this race four times, I only hope
that I can honor him by winning it someday" he
concluded.
Due to frigid weather, the colest weather that Florida
has seen this winter, the race was postponed from
January 18th to January 25th.
There will be a Media Night on January 24th with all
media invited to New Smyrna Speedway to interview and
photograph the drivers for the first annual Daytona
News Journal sponsored Pete Orr Memorial Orange Blossom
125. FASCAR officials will greet the media at 6:30
with food and beverage being served. Also, media are
invited to take a spin around New Smyrna Speedway in
the Pennzoil race car and get a feel of what the
drivers experience.
Qualifying will be on January 25th at 6:00 p.m. Racing
action will begin at 7:30 p.m. with all FASCAR
divisions racing "features only" along with the Pete Orr
Memorial Orange Blossom 125.
