8-18-10 Sean Rayhall Wins Legends Summer Shootout Championship

“Rayhall wins Young Lions in first year of Legends racing”

 At the ripe young age of 15 years old, Sean Rayhall from Winston, GA has been making a name for himself in the oval racing scene and made an even bigger step last Tuesday by winning the hotly contested Legends Summer Shootout Championship in the Young Lions division.  He did so by taking home yet another feature win.  Currently Sean is second in the National standings and hopes to take over the top spot by the end of the year.

On July 15, 2010 the largest Legends race in the world was held at Charlotte Motor Speedway.  One million dollars was up for grabs for the Pro division winner, so the who’s who of Legends racing gathered for an entry list boasting over 300 entries, including NASCAR star David Ragan.  Sean would compete in the Semi Pro/Young Lions division along with the Legends Million Pro division.  With a rain soaked track Sean dominated the Semi Pro race lapping up to fourth position and taking home the win.  More impressively Sean won his heat race in the Legends Million giving him a 6^th position starting spot for the Main.  After moving up to 5^th and running with the leaders, Sean started to experience some issues, which eventually forced him to retire.

Not only has Sean been having success in the Legends, he has also been dominant in the SCCA FE Pro car this season.  With four races left on the schedule Sean is leading the championship and has won the last four races in the series.  Sean has also qualified on pole for every race this season.  In one month’s time Sean will head to the SCCA Runoffs with Comprent Motorsports looking to become the National Champion in the FE division.

“I can not thank my dad and Dave Stevens enough for such an incredible season,” stated Rayhall.  “I am looking forward to what the future may bring, but right now I am focused on ending this season with more wins and championships.”

In the 54 total races he has competed in this year, including both Legens and FE, Sean has accumulated 35 wins and 36 pole positions, an amazing statistic for this young drivers career.  He also has finished in the top two eighty seven percent of the time in 2010.
