[coverattach=1]Marstons Mills, MA – March 25, 2009 –Follow A Dream returns to action this weekend (March 27-29) at the O’Reilly Spring Nationals at Houston Raceway Park in Baytown, TX with their Permatex/Wynn’s/Texas Roadhouse Chevrolet Impala SS Top Alcohol Funny Car. It will be the second race on the Follow A Dream ten race schedule in 2009 and the first time the team has returned to Houston since winning the event in 2005.
“It’s good to be back in Houston,” said team owner Jay Blake. “Every race is special in its own way, but coming back to Houston for the first time since our first National event win here in 2005 holds special meaning.” “I remember the enormous thrill of kneeling down and kissing that starting line for the first time.” “I wouldn’t mind the taste of a little asphalt this weekend,” added Blake with a big smile.
The remainder of the Dream Team arrives in Houston Thursday, where they’ll fine-tune some of the changes that were put in place after Gainesville. “We’re excited to get things under way and see how these changes reflect in the way the racecar performs,” said Blake. He added, “We’re all looking forward to a great weekend of racing.”
“I can’t wait to get back to the track and race at the Spring Nationals in Houston, a race in which The Follow A Dream team has had great success in the past,” stated team driver Marty Nothstein. “After the Gatornationals, I’m more confident than ever that the car and crew are ready to perform and do what it takes to make a much deserved trip to the winners circle.”
In addition to the racing schedule, Mr. Blake has made several appearances since the Gatornationals two weeks ago, making two sponsor appearances at Texas Roadhouse locations in Lake City, FL and Pasadena, TX. Jay also brought his “Five Tools for Life Success” to the Walton Career Development Center in DeFuniak Springs, FL and spent two days communicating his message to the students and faculty at two San Jacinto College locations in the Houston area, where on the second day, San Jacinto invited a group of local high school students in to hear Jay’s message.
