WAYNE CARTER

Wytheville, VA ~ This award is also a special one to us at RACE22.com ... Wayne Carter was a friend to the Star City Racing News and RACE22.com and this past year he lost a long battle with cancer.

Carter, who has owned Late Model Stock Cars for several years from the days when Terry Dease of Oxford, NC drove his cars to most recently having Rodney Cook behind the wheel of his famous Pit Stop Auto Sales Chevrolet's.  Cook drove for him the last few seasons and with Carter's help on his own car won the Ace Speedway championship in 2006 and 2007.

Cook would be the first to tell you how good of a team owner Carter was, but in his death, he went the extra mile for Cook.  Carter left Cook the cars that they competed with this season including a brand new car that they built over the spring of 2007.  Carter's devotion to Late Model Stock Car racing will never be forgotten and neither will the "2007 Team Owner of the Year".

RACE22.com would also like to honor Wayne Carter in a special way by renaming the "Team Owner of the Year" award the "Wayne Carter Memorial Team Owner of the Year" award.

"Wayne Carter meant more to me than I could ever express, he gave me a shot when few advertisers would give the Star City Racing News the time of day and for that I'll forever be grateful to Wayne.  Renaming this award in his honor is just a token of my appreciation to him and a way to celebrate his life and time as a Late Model Stock Car team owner," said RACE22.com webmaster, Langley Austin.
