Terry Battle Official Insight

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

  When a person gets involved with auto racing it usually starts by

turning wrenches as a crew member for a friend, neighbor or relative
and working your way up from there.
    This Modified Racing Series official has experienced all aspects
of the local racing scene working his way into the modified division,
garnering acculades along the way. So whats left? How about becoming a
dedecated MRS official to top off an already impressive resume.
