Dexter Bean Hopes Hometown Advantage Equals First Victory In Milwaukee

Dexter Bean Hopes Hometown  Advantage  
Equals First Victory In Milwaukee   

WEST ALLIS, Wisconsin (Thursday, August 23, 2007) - - It looks like  Dexter 
Bean’s wish of the rain going away will come true. Torrential rain and  fierce 
thunderstorms have invaded Bean’s home state of Wisconsin. The unexpected  
weather pattern has Bean’s hometown of Westby, Wisconsin seeing record flooding, 
mudslides  and damaging winds. 
With the system subsiding by  Friday, Bean can head to The Milwaukee Mile 
this weekend knowing that the rain  is gone for now and the skies should see 
sunshine allowing Bean to focus on  Sunday’s Governors Cup 200 without any 
obstacles. 
“I’m glad the rain is going to be gone,�??  said Bean, who lives three hours 
from The Milwaukee Mile. “It’s been a tough  week for everyone in the state of 
Wisconsin. The record book shows that it’s  been 100 years since a system 
like this has blasted its way through. Luckily for  all of us, it should clear up 
for race weekend and we can focus on the  race.�?? 
Bean is a huge fan of The  Milwaukee Mile and residing just hours away brings 
a plethora of fans and  support for Bean in this weekend’s event.  
“A lot of people think a race like  Daytona or Talladega is the biggest race 
of the year, but  for me, it’s this weekend at The Milwaukee Mile. I love 
competing at the track,  it’s a fun place to race and I have a lot of support.�?? 
He continued, “We have a bus  coming from Westby full of people to watch the 
race. That means a lot to me. We  should have a good car this weekend, so 
hopefully I’ll make everyone proud on  Sunday.�?? 
Crew Chief Chris Bires has elected  to bring the same Chevrolet Monte Carlo 
the team competed with at Illinois State  Fairgrounds in Springfield,  Illinois 
last Sunday. In the Allen  Crowe 100, Bean started third after the field was 
set by points, rallied back  from an early race pit stop to collect a stout 
fifth place.   
“We’ve made some adjustments to the car  to set it up for The Milwaukee Mile,
�?? said Bean, who enters this weekend’s race  third in the championship 
standings. “We had a good run going last year, but  didn’t collect the finish we 
deserved. We’re on a roll again with three straight  top-10 finishes. I’m 
hungry for a win; I just hope we can deliver a good run in  our backyard this 
weekend.�?? 
With seven races remaining on the  schedule and Bean currently still in 
contention for the championship, he knows  the consistency has to continue in order 
to be in the hunt for his first  driver’s championship. 
“I  would like to see the championship come down to Toledo,�?? explained Bean. 
“We’ve had a great  year. No complaints. Realistically, it’s going to take 
some misfortune by the  other guys for us to catch up. We’ve made a lot of 
ground up in Pocono, but lost  a tiny bit last weekend. The only thing we can 
really do is continue to give  everything each and every week and hope for the 
best.�?? 
Bean will pull double duty this  weekend at The Milwaukee Mile. In addition 
to the ARCA RE/MAX Series race, Bean  has entered the Wisconsin All-Star 50 
late model event which is scheduled to run  shortly after the conclusion of the 
ARCA race. 
“The late model race is all about  having fun. We’ve been prepping this car 
for a while and we should be pretty  good. It’s going to be a tough field with 
Matt Kenseth in the race, but I’m sure  I’ll have plenty of adrenaline from 
the ARCA race. Our goal is to leave the  track Sunday hoisting the winner’s 
trophies for both events.�??   
While  BlackJack Racing is still searching for additional sponsorship of 
Bean's No. 6  Chevrolet Monte Carlo, the team is glad to have local longtime 
supporter Five  Star Telecom on board as an associate sponsor.   
Since  their beginning in 1973, FST (Five Star Telecom), a long-time 
supporter of  Bean's racing career has become one of the largest interconnect 
companies in the  Upper Midwest, with multiple locations serving  the tri-state area.  
 
Rolling  into Milwaukee,  Dexter Bean has 44 ARCA RE/MAX Series starts to his 
credit with five-top five  finishes and 14 top-10 efforts. He holds a career 
best finish of second at Salem  Speedway and Pocono Raceway (April 2007 and 
June 2007). He owns the 2006 ARCA  SIM Factory pole award at Salem Speedway 
(September 2006) while hoisting a  career-best speedway time trials effort of 
fourth at Pocono Raceway (June 2006).  Bean also has controlled the ARCA field for 
138 laps in six races.   
BlackJack  Racing is still seeking additional primary and associate sponsors 
for the  remainder of the 2007 ARCA RE/MAX Series season. For sponsorship 
inquiries,  please contact BlackJack Racing at
