13-year-old wins 360 Sprint A Feature

TREY ROBB, 13, MAKES HISTORY WITH A FEATURE WIN

Oklahoma City, OK-Trey Robb, 13, made history this past Friday night by
being the youngest driver in the 51 year history of Oklahoma City’s State
Fair Speedway to win an A feature.  As Robb raced past the checkered flag,
the crowd of approximately 2,200 fans were on their feet rewarding the
driver with a standing ovation.  Cheering continued as Robb drove his No. 12
car into victory circle and into the record books.


Robb dominated the field early with skill and determination.  When asked
afterward about his strategy for the race, Robb replied that it was, “just
to get out ahead.”  Getting out ahead was exactly what the Rookie of the
Year candidate did.  He started the feature in sixth place, but after a
restart around lap four charged ahead to take the lead from Bud Johnson for
good.  By lap seven, Robb was maneuvering through lapped traffic smoothly on
his way to the $1000 prize and the new record.  Joe Wood Jr, veteran Kenneth
Walker, Bud Johnson and Kevin Pickard rounded out the top five in the 20-lap
race.


This is Robb’s first season to drive in the 360 Super Sprint division.  What
did he think about the win?  While his supporters were excited and
celebrating, Robb seemed to be taking it all in stride.  With a grin he said
simply that it was “awesome.”  At 13, Trey Robb’s entire career has already
been awesome.  Before the age of 12, Robb raced at I-44 Speedway, also in
Oklahoma City collecting an amazing 66 A feature wins and four track
championships.  This year, Robb is number six in the point standings with
two heat wins, seven A feature top ten’s, and one top five.


It looks like plans for the future of Trey Robb will continue along an
“awesome” track.  Car owners, Rodney and Randy Timms and father Perry Robb
have confirmed plans to run Trey on the American Sprint Car Series next
season with some of the best sprint car drivers in the country.  Rodney
Timms related, “The best way to get a driver ready for NASCAR is to have
them race at as many different tracks as possible and to have them learn to
work on the cars.”  He will get plenty of track action along the ASCS tour
next year and has worked in theTimms’ race shop all of this season.
