Chris Hughes Motorsports is Looking for You
As soon as the checkered flag fell on 2008 all the race teams began looking forward to 2009. Hughes Motorsports is no exception.  Preperations have already began for the 2009 season. The biggest area for change in 2009 will be in the  pits. We are looking for some help in crewing this championship level car in  2009. If you’re a driver taking a year off, a mechanic wanting to be involved, a crewman/driver who wants to move up to the pro stock level as a crew man, or someone with mechanical ability and a willingness to do whatever it takes who wants to go racing  and win contact Chris Hughes @ cnhughes@ruranet.com or at 902-626-7641.
