Jeff Fultz Returns To The Cockpit at Myrtle Beach With Walker Motorsports

MOORESVILLE, NC (Mar. 20, 2018) - Athletes who are great at their chosen
game often find ways to stay involved and continue to compete at a high
level far past the average age of their competitors. This weekend, Jeff
Fultz, arguably super late model racing's Brett Favre, will climb back
behind the wheel at Myrtle Beach Speedway for the CARS Response Energy Tour
$10,000-to-win Baker Distributing 200.

Fultz is no stranger to Myrtle Beach Speedway. In fact, he won the last
three super late model races in which he competed at the facility, all of
which were sanctioned by NASCAR under the Southeast Series banner, formerly
known as All-Pro. More recently, he competed there in a modified with a
chance to win before a cut tire ruined his strategy.

"I've always loved the slick racetracks where you can slide around," Fultz
said. "Myrtle Beach and Greenville are definitely two of the places I love
and always enjoy going. We ran a modified race there not too far back and
made up three laps, ran fifth or sixth until those guys took tires and we
didn't have any left. Plus, this is a CARS Tour race, and we really like to
support what Jack and Chris have going on when we get the chance."

The car Fultz will be piloting is also no stranger to Myrtle Beach or the
CARS Tour. Walker Motorsports has fielded an entry for A.J. Frank each time
the tour has visited the Grand Strand and the team has ProCup experience at
the facility, too. The No. 54 Furniture by Walker Chevrolet will pay homage
to Fultz's All-Pro days when he raced the number to wins and championships,
including his success at Myrtle Beach Speedway.

"It's hard to believe this is our first race together," said Chris Walker
of Walker Motorsports. "We've been friends for years, but Fultz wanted to
run Myrtle and everything worked out with his schedule at Fury. He even
wanted to run the No. 54, so we made that happen, too."

Long-time fans may remember Fultz's successes in All-Pro and other super
late model competition. After racing in All-Pro, he competed with success
in the Hooters ProCup Series, the tour which eventually became the CARS
Response Energy Tour. Despite different teams, numbers and paint schemes,
his upbeat personality and engaging smile have drawn in fans for most of
his career.

Since semi-retiring from the driver's seat, Fultz has become extremely
active in the Fury Racecars chassis program as a consultant, crew chief,
and veteran driver coach. Some have labeled him the Brett Favre of super
late model racing because no matter how long he waits between rides, he is
always competitive. Though his sponsor, Furniture by Walker, provides a
wide assortment of living room and bedroom furniture, including rocking
chairs, don't expect Jeff to order one yet.

"I wouldn't say I've retired by any means," Fultz said while cracking a
smile. "I just don't get to race as much as I'd like with everything we
have going on at Fury. I don't like competing against a lot of our
customers, plus they often need us at the track, so that makes it hard to
pick races to run. I don't want to have an effect on their success because
I'm at the track competing, too. It just all worked out this weekend to
come to a place I love and I feel like I have a shot to win if everything
goes right."

"If all goes well, we'll be back and doing this more in the future," said
car owner Walker. "We recently sold one of our chassis, and now we have a
brand new Fury car to go attempt to win races with. With Fultz behind the
wheel, I feel like we have as good of a shot as anyone to win. I hate he
can't run every race for us, so we'll be looking for drivers to run the
ones he doesn't, but we know when we unload we have a shot to win."

The Baker Distributing 200 presented by Honeywell at Myrtle Beach Speedway
is the second event on the calendar for the 2018 CARS Response Energy Tour.
It marks the first time super late models have hit the track and offers
$10,000 to the winner of the race with some of super late model racing's
biggest names expected to compete, including Fultz and Walker. Broadcast
LIVE on carstour.tv., the event takes the green flag at 3:30pm ET with
