Joe Garrison, founder of GRT Race Cars Inc., adds a
mystery card for one driver finishing between 10th
through 20th. position this season.
Team GRT started out with the Arkansas Motorsports
Professional State Series during the inaugural year,
and helped provide success with the series’ first
season.
Along with their familiar GRT fast qualifier award,
Team GRT will add a ‘Mystery Card’ for one lucky AMP
driver finishing anywhere between the 10th and 20th
position, and will award the ‘2008 Champion 50 percent
off a new GRT Chassis.
GRT offered the 2007 AMP Series Champion half off a
new chassis, and set the GRT fast qualifier award for
each driver that was able to start the main event in
the pole sitter position.
“Joe Garrison has been good to our series teams,” AMP
series director Christy Hudson said. “His dedication
to this series has been promising and rewarding for
the drivers who compete each week. Team GRT knows what
makes the racers lose a little faith when having a bad
night, and gain a lot of strength when it comes to
being competitive each week. We believe adding the
mystery award will help drivers keep pushing to
accomplish their goals while racing each event.”
GRT has an open door policy to drivers, and race teams
who may need a little advice, a lot of work, or just
want to dress up their program. Located in Greenbrier,
Arkansas, the company’s 13,000 square foot
manufacturing facility, along with a nearly 5,000
square foot parts warehouse with 20 employees.
