PERMATEX/FOLLOW A DREAM TEAM READY FOR GATORNATIONALS

Marstons Mills, MA-March 13, 2015-Jay Blake’s Permatex/Follow A Dream crew heads to Gainesville dead set on another final-round appearance at the Gatornationals, where the team already has a win and two final-round appearances in the last few years.

“The Gatornationals is one of the biggest races of the year and the season opener for the East Coast,” said driver Todd Veney. “We got to the final here a couple years ago, it’s usually one of our best races of the season, and the car just ran great in testing.”

The team, which won the 2006 Gatornationals and was runner-up there in 2013, set top speed at the regional event in Gainesville last month and arrived here hot off a successful test session in Bradenton, Fla. “We only ran it to the eighth-mile mark because you can learn just about everything you need to know that way, but it was very encouraging,” Blake said. “The car was going 208 mph at the eighth-mile mark, and you can win a lot of races with half-track speeds like that.”
