CONCORD, N.C. (June 18, 2013) – Annabeth Barnes and Jack Madrid made their return to Hickory Motor Speedway (HMS) on Saturday night to compete in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series (NWAAS) twin-50 races. This was both drivers first race at the track with Rev Racing since May, but the time away didn’t seem to impact their success.
The qualifying procedure on Saturday was different due to the twin-50 schedule. Qualifying order for the first race was determined by the first lap, and qualifying order for the second race was determined by the second lap. Barnes qualified 10th for the first race and eighth for the second, while Madrid qualified eighth and sixth respectively.
Barnes had her best finish of the season, fourth, in the second twin-50 race. She came home eighth in the first race, giving her two top-10 finishes for the night. Madrid was coming off a season best fifth place finish his last time at Hickory, and managed to bring home a sixth place finish for the first race. He was running third in the second race, and looking to come home with a top-three finish, but was tangled in a wreck with two laps to go and came home ninth.
Annabeth Barnes begins the 2013 racing season TONIGHT (3/9/13) at Hickory Motor Speedway in Rev Racing’s Whelen All-American Series #21 Late Model car. While Annabeth is a veteran of HMS, tonight marks her rookie debut in the Late Model series, as well as her first race with her new team, Rev Racing. Tonight should be an exciting beginning to an even more exciting racing season for Annabeth. Come out and support Anna as she kicks off the 2013 season!
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35 ORLANDO) –
When Danica Patrick took the pole position for the 55th running of the Daytona 500, she made history as the first woman to ever do it.
She also made dreams come true for NASCAR, Daytona International Speedway and vendors who all hope to cash in on the extra attention the feat will bring.
FOX 35’s Tom Johnson spent the day at the track talking to people about the “Danica Effect.”

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35 ORLANDO) –
Annabeth Barnes is pretty, young and a terror on the track. The comparisons to Daytona 500 pole sitter Danica Patrick are natural.
At just 17, Barnes has already won more than 200 races, if you start counting when she began racing go carts at age 6. No matter how you look at it, Barnes seems poised to be a racing star one day.
