The "Brothers Neville" will head to the Milwaukee Mile to take on Busch, Kenseth, and the ASA Midwest Tour cars and stars.
By Buzz Motorsports / M.P.H. PromotionsMackinaw, Illinois (Thursday, August 21, 2008): Derek and Nick Neville now have their Super Late Model debut under their belts after spending the last two and half seasons in a Crate Late Model Series.
Now that they've experienced the power of a high horsepower Super Late Model engine, both drivers are eager for more and they'll get plenty of that this weekend.
The Buzz Motorsports teammates will head to one of most historic tracks in the country as the American Speed Association (ASA) Kwik Trip Midwest Tour Presented by Echo Power Equipment will headline the Governors Cup Weekend on Sunday, August 24, 2008.
The famed One-Mile semi-banked paved oval of the Milwaukee Mile in West Allis, Wisconsin will serve as hosts for the running of the Wisconsin All-Star 100.
"Our initiation to the world of Super Late Model racing has begun! Steve Einhaus and Tim Olson have put together a fantastic series with a great group of talented drivers," Stated Buzz Motorsports Car Owner and the Neville Brothers' Father, Jamie Neville.
"This is a big move up from where we have been racing the past Two 1/2 years. Fortunately our Crew Chiefs, Kevin Tunks and Mike Butz are both veterans of this Super Late Model game and I'm confident they will get us up to speed quickly this weekend at Milwaukee!" The proud Father added.
Joining the "Brothers Neville" as well as the cars and stars of the ASA Midwest Tour in Eastern Wisconsin will be 2003 NASCAR Winston Cup Champion and Wisconsin native, Matt Kenseth as well as current NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Points Leader and multi-time Feature Winner in all three major NASCAR circuits, Kyle Busch!
The siblings made their ASA Kwik Trip Midwest Tour Presented by Echo Outdoor Power Equipment debut back on August 5th at the Wisconsin International Raceway for the Scag Power Equipment / Dixieland 150.
Nick fared better in his debut than his older brother did as Nick finished a respectable 13th in the 150-lap Feature while Derek didn't make the show in one of the most competitive fields the brothers had been in which included Busch, who will also race in Milwaukee!
"Nick had a pretty good run there for his first ASAMWT race and his first event at WIR. Derek struggled a little and seemed like he was down on horsepower a little due to carburetor issues. His "ACE" motor has since been repaired and is ready to go." Added the elder Neville!
"Nick's win at Madison International on Friday before WIR gave us a boost of confidence that we needed going into our first ASA MWT race
As for his sons, Derek and Nick Neville, they reflected on their first experience with the ASA Midwest Tour; "We knew the transition to the ASA Midwest Tour / Super Late Models would be tough especially at a track like WIR," Explained 22-year-old Derek Neville.
"We had a great set-up, but the engine just went flat about mid-straight and we would lose everything that we had gained in the corners. Bruce and the guys at B&B Engines have really been working hard all week on the motor issues and the dyno says they've got it solved, just in time for Milwaukee where horsepower is king!" He added.
Nick then added; "It was an honor to get to race in the Dixieland 150. I could sense the tradition this race had. The stands were full and there was a lot of excitement in the air! Just making the field was a big accomplishment for my Dixie Chopper team."
"The level of talent in this series is incredible!" The 20-year-old relayed. "We're going to need to bring our "A-Game" to every race to be able to compete with these guys! Everyone tells me that going into turn one at Milwaukee is a thrill like no other, I can't wait to get there!" He ended.
For the remainder of the 2008 racing season, the Neville Brothers will race in the ASA Midwest Tour as well as some select events in the CRA Super Series and some special end of the season races down South such as the Snowball Derby.
Nick will carry the colors of Dixie Chopper Lawn Mowers on the side of his familiar lime green #155 Buzz Motorsports Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Additional support comes from; Lucas Oil Products, Ben E. Neville Roll-Off and Trucking Service, Nick's Quality Lawn Care, M.P.H. Promotions, and Buzz Motorsports.
Derek Neville will steer his familiar #95 with primary sponsorship from Lucas Oil Products as well as Illinois Valley Construction, Ben E. Neville Roll-Off and Trucking Service, as well as Neville Land Development, Dixie Chopper Lawn Mowers, M.P.H. Promotions, and Buzz Motorsports.
