Welcomed rain attracts Extra Driver to Simpson

Written By Allstars Media

With unfortunate weather up north and the cancelling of the Ultimate Speedway Nationals at Valvoline Raceway we are lucky to have picked up another hard charging Yankee. 20 year old Kalib Henry in the Perrett Family Racing / ADRAD / Lewiston Haulage #4. Trevor Green is the Crew Chief of the deal and has been a regular with the series over the past few seasons so when the news was out about Valvoline being cancelled he was straight on the phone to the All Star Series to see if he could come and run at Simpson

Green is known for his mentoring of good young talent either in the States or on home soil and Henry is just more proof of his good judgement. In the short couple of weeks Henry has been in Australian he has raced at Murray Bridge Speedway, Valvoline Raceway where he took out the A Main at the midweek Old School night, then tripped up to Archerfield for WSS. He has locked in secure results at every track since landing in Australia.

Henry lives in Sacramento and has been racing since the age of 7, he had his first career win ins a sprintcar at the age of 18 at Petaluma, California. “We are rapt to have Kalib come and run with us and showcase our event to him. Simpson was a town he probably never thought he would visit on his Aussie trip. Hopefully he likes the little ‘avocado shaped bull ring’ as McCarl affectionately named it.” Promoter Searle says.
