Terry Horak is ready to tackle the Milwaukee Mile

By: Devon Holder

Terry Horak had an extremely fast Chevrolet Camaro at Nashville Superspeedway in his last outing with the Sunoco National Tour. Horak qualified in third and ran the majority of the race in the top five, searching for what seemed would surely be his first podium finish in the series.

However, as fate would have it, Horak’s engine overheated after a piece of debris busted the radiator in his Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka Camaro, causing the motor to melt down, forcing him out of the event just past the halfway mark of the race.

After seeing such a promising run slip away, most drivers would be dejected, disappointed, or just down right mad. However, Horak had a different attitude when he climbed from his machine on pit road at Nashville. “A guy my age doesn’t have too many opportunities to drive a good a racecar as that on a track as nice as Nashville Superspeedway,” said the smiling 44 year old rookie. “We were having a blast out there. The guys gave me a great setup. We had something for them, but it wasn’t meant to be. We will figure it out and be back at Milwaukee.”
