DEEP SOUTH RACIN

 Deep South Racin started in 2004. It was me (Wade Walker), Brandon Freeman and Billy Lane. We built our first car the # 52 car that is still racing hard today.It is the camo car at Penton .

THE FIRST YEAR WAS A ROUGH YEAR FOR US. BECAUSE OF DIFFERENCES "WHO WAS GOING TO DRIVE" WE LOST ONE OF OUR TEAMMATES. BILLY STARTED BUILDING HIS OWN CAR. WE RAN EVERY RACE THAT FIRST YEAR BUT TWO. IT WAS EIGHT RACES INTO THE YEAR BEFORE WE FINISHED A RACE. IF THERE WAS BAD LUCK WE HAD IT FROM WRECKS TO BLOWN MOTORS.

 SINCE THAT FIRST YEAR, WE HAVE HAD GOOD YEARS. IN 2005 WE WON THE POINTS CHAMPIONSHIP AT PENTON. IN 2006 BRANDON  GOT THE BUG AND THE SECOND CAR FOR DEEPSOUTH RACIN WAS BORN THE BRIGHT ORANGE #48. ALSO IN 2006 ANOTHER CAR CAME INTO DEEPSOUTH RACIN. THE #79 LIMITED SPORTSMAN CAR A FRIEND OF OURS CHRIS NELSON HAD THIS CAR THAT HE WANTED ME  TO DRIVE. I CLIMBED IN AND HAVE BEEN HOOKED EVER SINCE. IN 2007 BRANDON HAD A PRETTY GOOD YEAR AND REALLY STARTING MAKING A PUSH AT THE END OF THE YEAR. WE KNEW GOING INTO 2008 HE WAS GOING TO BE HARD TO DEAL WITH. I DID THE SAME THE FIRST YEAR IN THE 79 WE STARTED SLOW AND CAME ON STRONG AT THE END. WE WERE SECOND IN THE POINTS AT THE END OF THE YEAR BUT THE LEADER OF THE POINTS GOT HURT AND COULD NOT RACE AT THE END. SO WE KIND OF BACKED INTO A CHAMPIONSHIP OUR FIRST YEAR IN THIS CAR. IN 2008 BRANDON DID COME ON STRONG HE HAD A VERY GOOD YEAR AND WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP. I ALSO WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP THAT YEAR TOO. THE OLD 52 CAR EVEN GOT A WIN THIS YEAR WHEN TIM RAY GOT IN IT ONE NIGHT. IT NOW HAS A DRIVER FOR THE 2009 SEASON DEWAYNE McWHORTER WILL BE IN IT ALL YEAR THIS YEAR. HE WAS IN THE CAR LAST SEASON FOR THE LAST 4 RACES. MY DAD "POP" HAD DRIVEN THE CAR BEFORE THAT.
