Jason, Matt, Jackie and myself are really dedicated and focused on winning a lot or races and a third championship for Carlton and Kemp Lamm in 2006”, Earl went on to say. “I can’t say enough about my engine program and these Larry Wallace Engines. If we hook up all of this horsepower Larry is giving us, we will be hard to beat this year. I want to also thank Sunoco for their continued support of our program.
