HOUSTON MCCOY WINS TWO IN MISSISSIPPI
Saltillo, MS – Team Full Throttle NASCAR Driver Development racer Houston McCoy found himself in an unfavorable predicament over the weekend as he attempted to race his Stock Class go-kart against the more powerful TaG class and Animal class motors on the Rebel Raceway road course in Saltillo, MS. Proving that it’s not all about horsepower on a road course, however, the 15-year old won both of his features and left the competition with heads shaking in wonderment.
“That was pretty amazing,” McCoy said with a grin after the night was over. “I had so much fun out there. We were racing against unrestricted animal motors and the TaG (touch and go) motors and we still ended up winning. I can’t believe we did as well as we did! I really enjoy racing on the road courses. You have so much more to think about as far as the driving. There are more than four corners and you really have to choose your setups wisely. I have to thank my Dad and my family for all their support because I know how much they are sacrificing so I can chase my racing dream. We’re excited about moving up to Legends soon and we’re putting our plans in place to do that. That’s going to be fun!”
