| Sean Murphy - Crew Chief Deon Deneau Team up for First ASA Race | San Antonio, TX Monday February 26, 2007 - Sean Murphy and Deon Deneau are pairing up for the first time in 2007 to make their first attempt at San Antonio Speedway for the 2nd annual Alamo 200 ASA Late Model Challenge Series. For Murphy it will be the start of points chase for the championship, something he's yet to accomplish in stock car racing.
"I've never chased a point's championship," said Murphy. "I've raced sports cars, open wheel, stock cars and I've won some races. But running for a points championship isn't something I've got on my resume, yet."
Murphy is confident in his chances, but also knows racing can be a tough game. "I think we have as good a shot as anyone," said Murphy. "Anything can happen out on the track, but I think if we can keep our nose clean and have top finishes with a few wins we'll be right in the mix of the championship. For now we'll just take it race by race."
Murphy stated earlier in the season that he races to win. But there may be some level of adjusting to compiling points and saving the race car. Deon Deneau, Murphy's crew chief for the Challenge Series thinks they can get the job done as well. "I think we can win this upcoming race and I think we can win the championship," stated Deneau. "Why not us."
The team has never been to San Antonio, but Deneau and Murphy feel that won't be an obstacle. "It's nothing new to me," said Murphy. "My whole career I've had to adapt quickly to tracks." Deneau also is OK with having no experience with the track. "I think we'll be OK and we have a good base setup heading out there," said Deneau. "Certainly teams that have been there before have an advantage, but that doesn't rule us out of winning by any means."
SS Racing hits the track at 8:30PM this Saturday March 3rd. For more on SS Racing or Sean Murphy visit: www.SSRacingOnline.com For further event info visit: www.ASALateModels.com
