Buda, Texas : Colt James took advantage of the break in the schedule to get ready for the 1st annual Tradition 200 at Berlin Raceway this weekend. This tight bullring located near Grand Rapids in Marne, Michigan will be a great track for Colt’s aggressive driving style.

“This is a driver’s track so I am looking forward to getting to Berlin this weekend,” said the energetic Colt James. His small family owned team has made quite an impression this season in the ASA Late Model Series Challenge division going up against teams that are much better funded than his.

“The ASALMS rules package let’s guys like myself compete,” said James. Colt already has one win this season and has been in the hunt for the win all but one week this season. Look for Colt’s No. 015 to post a great qualifying lap and race up front all night long!

If you can’t be there for all the exciting action you can catch the Tradition 200 live on RaceTalkRadio.com, one of Colt’s sponsors this season! The green flag will wave at 8:45pm (EST) this Saturday night.

Colt James Thanks his Sponsors; Colt James Racing is proud to add Dickerson Machinery as a sponsor this season. “I want to thank Terry Dickerson for helping us out. Our sponsors are keeping us going and we couldn’t do this without them,” said Colt James.

Dickerson Machinery joins Colt’s other sponsors that include Magnum Trailers, Wells Cargo, Design Welding, and RaceTalkRadio.com. Also coming onboard to help out is Aero Speed Wheels and Day Motorsports
