Tyler Dippel and the Trinity Oaks Ford |
Even Mother Nature was a race fan on this
day, pausing a weeklong deluge of heavy rain long enough for Trinity Oaks
Administrator Bill Johnson and Marketing Director Ann Pressly to pull back the
covers and reveal a shining black Ford Fusion Super Late Model, adorned with
the Trinity Oaks logo and motto; “Never Slow Down.”
Teenage driver Tyler Dippel, who will
travel from his home in Wallkill, NY, to race in a number of Pro All Stars
Series events in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia this season,
mingled with a large crowd of Trinity Oaks residents and staff before firing up
the car’s 600-horsepower racing engine and rattling the windows of the
facility.
“We had a wonderful day,” said Godfather
Motorsports owner Dave Moody afterward. “I was impressed with the number of residents
who knew about and were interested in motorsports. I answered a lot of
NASCAR questions today, and I have a feeling we’re going to see a number of
residents and staff members at the speedways this summer.”
“I had a lot of fun,” agreed Dippel.
“Everyone was really interested in the race car, and one lady asked me to give
her a ride around the parking lot. It was like having 50 grandmas and grandpas,
all at the same time!”

Hey Dave, congrats on being an owner (no snark involved, I mean it). Are you going to eventually move up the food chain and become an owner in some capacity in trucks or even Nationwide, or is that going to involve too much time and money?
