DENNIS SCHOENFELD PREPARES FOR 2010 “FRESH START”
(Van Buren, AR)
Dennis has been busy preparing for a fresh start to the 2010 race season. “This off season we’ve taken a major swing at upgrading our race program from top to bottom,” Dennis said in a recent telephone interview. “Both race cars are in great shape needing only minor repairs. Our engines are in the final stages of refresh, one in Deland, FL where Tom Negrete and Koury Race Engines are completing our 9 to 1 motor and the other engine is going to McGunegill Engine Performance in Muncie, IN for some new blood. Our transmissions are out for rebuild, as are our rearends and we’ve added a new trailer, replacing the one I hand-built back in the ‘90’s. After nagging parts failures in three major races which took us out of contention, we decided to really go through everything with a fine tooth comb.” Click Here.

the fans that came out today."
