Ocala, Florida (04\/10\/18) \u2013 Big Frog Motorsports owner Augie David Burttram is pleased to announce that he\u2019s added Dawsonville, Georgia\u2019s Donald McIntosh to his driver roster for the 2018 season.<\/p>\n
The talented 25-year-old ace will make his debut this weekend \u2013 April 12-14 – in the M&W Transport #58 XR1 Rocket Chassis Super Late Model as the team competes in a trio of events in North Carolina and Tennessee. (Heath Lawson pic)<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s no big secret that Donald is one of the most-talented up-and-coming drivers out there, and it\u2019s exciting to have him drive one of our cars in select events,\u201d Burttram said. \u201cHe\u2019s had some bad luck in his own equipment to start the year, and after some talks we decided that it made sense for him to enter some events for us when both his schedule and our schedule allows.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith his experience and our equipment, I honestly believe that we can contend for some wins this weekend. I greatly appreciate all of our backers, who are making it possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
For McIntosh it\u2019s a great chance to aim for some big wins at some familiar tracks.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m always excited to go racing, but I\u2019m really excited about this weekend,\u201d McIntosh said. \u201cThese are three tracks that I know well, so hopefully I can deliver great results all three nights. I can\u2019t thank Augie (Burttram) and his team enough for this awesome opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
The team will kick off their three-night swing on Thursday evening at Ray Cook\u2019s TriCounty Racetrack (Brasstown, North Carolina) with a $1,500-to-win, unsanctioned event. On Friday evening the action moves to the wicked-fast Tazewell Speedway (Tazewell, Tennessee), where a $5,000 top prize will be on the line for the Schaeffer\u2019s Oil Spring Nationals Series. The ultra-busy weekend draws to a close on Saturday evening at Volunteer Speedway (Bulls Gap, Tennessee) as the team battles for a $10,052 top prize in the annual Scott Sexton Memorial. The event will also be sanctioned by the Schaeffer\u2019s Oil Spring Nationals.<\/p>\n
