Chad Akins "Fan Space" on MySpace: (From the web director) I recently created a "Chad Akins Fan Space" on MySpace to help get his name and racing career info "out there." It is entirely separate from our C.A.R. Fan Club. Please note this is NOT a "personal" site of Chad's. It is a space run by me for Chad's fans and racing enthusiasts. To "keep it clean," all posts to that page must be approved by me before they will appear, and only text comments will be allowed. If you are on MySpace and are a fan of Chad's, please join the new "Chad Akins Fan Space." Thanks!

Chad Finished RC Cola - MoonPie 125 at Lakeland
Chad qualified for the May 3rd RC Cola - MoonPie 125 ASA event at Lakeland but had to replace a failed starter in the car before the race, which meant he was then required to start at the back of the field. All things considered, Chad ran a great race, showing his incredible driving skill on every lap against some tough competition. He finished 22nd, about ten cars ahead of his starting position.
Chad WINS Fishing Contest!: Chad's off-track passion is fishing. On Saturday, April 5, 2008, he entered a fishing contest at Sunglow Pier. The contest was from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. At 1 minute before 6 p.m., Chad pulled in the largest fish of the day to win the contest. His 1st place winnings were $500.00 in cash, 2 fishing rods and other fishing items. He is now known at Sunglow Pier as "Last Lap Chad." Congratulations, Chad!
Chad WINS 3/29/08 Late Model feature
at New Smyrna Speedway!We decided to run the race at New Smyrna Speedway on Saturday, March 29, 2008, to test the new car and the new set-up. In the first two practices of the evening on old 250 lap tires, we could tell that Chad would be awesome that night. Chad pulled into the pits after his second practice and said, "This car is a rocket ship." The team was extremely happy because we tried a new type of set up that we have never tried before. Everyone agreed that it was a complete success. Chad won the Heat race going away and Chad won the feature race as well. This is the third win for the year. The team has decided that we are not point racing in 2008 and we have chosen to event race. Next race on the agenda will be the BrightHouse 50 at New Smyrna Speedway on April 19, 2008. Two weeks later we will race at USA International Speedway, Lakeland FL in the ASA series on May 3rd.
