[B] Listen LIVE to 2008 Florida Karting Association Stock Animal Champion Chase Fitzgerald TONIGHT, Monday, March 23!!!
Chase will come on the air around 8pm ET! [/b]
A video of one of Chase’s wins in 2008 (Charlotte County Motorsports Park) can be viewed at the following link: Desoto Champ Kart Series - Punta Gorda, FL, Feb. 9, 2008 - YouTube
And, if you attended the open practice at Desoto Super Speedway on Thursday night, March 12, or you are planning to attend this Thursday nights practice… look for Chase in the yellow/black #96 late model owned by PBS Sales and Service owner (Tampa) Danny Scopano. Although the car’s late model driver for 2009 is Andy “Hot Shoe” Leserra, Chase has been getting some seat time, to gain valuable experience.
Chase is one of only two drivers to capture a feature win in 2008, in the Florida Karting Association, Florida Dirt Divisional Series, and the Desoto Champ Kart Series! Chase won both the 2008 FKA Stock Animal Championship, and the 2008 Florida Triple Crown Championship with the Desoto Champ Kart Series. And, in 2008, Chase won on BOTH pavement and dirt, flat karts and champ karts, at multiple tracks throughout Florida!
