MONTGOMERY “HOTSHOE” HUNTER ROBBINS CHANGING OPERATION BASE
02/01/10
Montgomery, Al.
(February 1, 2010) – Montgomery,
Al. “hotshoe” stock car driver Hunter Robbins will be the first to tell
you his 2009 racing season was not what he expected nor enjoyed and he
is looking forward to 2010 being much better.
Consequently he has decided to make some changes.
No, he is not giving up racing just changing his base of operation
which could lead to a more productive racing season for the Late Model
stock car driver.
“I have been racing
since I was six years old, commented Robbins, but at some point in time
one has to realize it is time to broaden your horizons. For the
last three years our base of operation was Pensacola, Fl. In 2009
we entered 20 events, visited victory lane just once and that was at
the track I now consider home, Montgomery Motor Speedway. For the year
we had eight top five finishes and those came at Pensacola and
Montgomery. Those two tracks are definitely my favorites.”
A major reason Robbins is changing his base of operation is because he
will graduate from Alabama Christian Academy, in Montgomery, in the
spring then enroll at Auburn University in the fall majoring in
Mechanical Engineering
“Bobby and Mark
Knox have brought new life to Montgomery by resurfacing the track,
building new grandstands and instituting “Show Me The Money”
races. I was fortunate to win one of the four in 2009 but with
six scheduled for 2010 plus the 400-lap All American event in September
there will be plenty of money on the line and it is right in my back
yard. I can sleep in my own bed, not have travel costs as before and
concentrate on my college work,” continued Robbins.
“We will run some blizzard events and the Snowflake and Snowball Derby
in December at Pensacola but otherwise we will concentrate on college
and stay close to home which should cut down on expenses. Also
our new race shop is between Montgomery and Auburn and that will be a
lot closer to work on race cars when college work permits,” Robbins
stated.
Robbins will be driving a
Chevrolet Monte Carlo in 2010, and will also be mentoring his cousin,
Kayla Robbins, who is switching from Go-Karts to Late
Models. “Uncle Allen purchased a Port City Chassis for her
and asked me to go through it and set it up for her,” said
Robbins. “She is a very competitive individual and it will be
neat having her racing with us at Montgomery.”
When asked about having Faulkner University head Football Coach, Greg
Baker, on his race team as the jack man, Robbins stated,” it is kind of
neat having a person of his caliber working with us. Here I am
telling him what to do, when usually he is the one telling his players
what to do. He knows how to motivate people and we are happy he
loves racing and wants to be a part of our team.”
Robbins and his fellow Alabama Posse drivers will kick off the 2010
racing season at Montgomery Motor Speedway on March 20 with the first
of six 125-lap “Show Me The Money” races.
