Baytown, TX - Chris Demke and his Peen Rite Top Alcohol Dragster are heading down to Texas to start another winning streak. A semi-final loss at the Vegas National event stopped a 2-0 start to the year. A few weeks off provided the time needed to freshen things up on the Peen Rite/801 Racing entry. The confidence from those wins at Pomona and Gainesville are still with the Team.
“The year began with two incredible wins,” said Demke. “Now we have things back together and ready to go rounds. We have a new partnership that will allow us to continue having fun and put on a great show for the fans.”
In 2009, Demke had a wild ride and put on quite a show for all in attendance. In the finals against Duane Shields, while leading the race, Demke’s Dragster made a move to the wall. With some nifty driving, Demke avoided the wall, but was now headed across the track into the other lane. Narrowly avoiding Shields, Demke saved the car but not the win. In 2010, a semi-final loss ended Team Peen’s weekend. Last year the Maddern Racing Team decided not to attend the event.
“We are all excited about racing in Houston this year,” added Demke. “It’s a fast track, and the low altitude will bring some great performance.”
Crew Chief Jerry Maddern has the tune-up ready, and with Kevin Watson, Mike Demke, Ronald Mann, and Joe Cole, they on top of things. Along with Peen Rite and 801 Racing, Chris Demke and the Maddern Racing operation feel they have the solution for this race, and the rest of the year. Together, they all have prepared to win in Texas, and kick start a longer winning streak.
