Professional race car driver, Blake Feese and Jeff Holtzclaw of Race2Win.Net will help review and preview each week in the 2008 Sprint Cup season from Daytona to Homestead.

 

Blake started his racing career with quarter midgets at age 10 and continuing through his run in the world of 900hp Sprint Cars (1992-2003) earning well over 120 feature or heat victories, some 70 top five and 100 top ten finishes and rookie of the year honors. In 2004 Blake signed on as one of three drivers slated to share racing duties in the all new Hendrick Motorsports Development Program. Blake scored two ARCA victories, one in Nashville and one on the legendary Talledega racetrack.

 

Jeff Holtzclaw is the founder and editor of the NASCAR website Race2Win .net. Holtzclaw started Race 2 Win in 1998 and has been covering the NASCAR world ever since. He began working with Robert Pressley in the Cup Series in 1999. Holtzclaw later followed Pressley to the Craftsman Truck Series where the driver won in his very first start, driving the No. 18 Dodge owned by the late Bobby Hamilton. Holtzclaw remained with Pressley until his retirement from the sport.
