Cecil Chunn
Finishes 3rd Continuing His Streak of Top Tens
NASHVILLE, TN. -
(7-15-05) Coming off two top ten runs, Cecil Chunn was pumped for the NASCAR
AutoZone Elite Division Music City 150.
Chunn
qualified 10th for the Music City 150. “The rear end shifted,
which made the car super tight in qualifying. We had a rear end
problem, we fixed it but that sent us to the back of the field.”
The racing action
heated up on the first lap. There was a wild multi-car wreck coming off
the second turn on the very first lap. “Starting at the rear of the field
was a blessing in disguise. Where we would have started we would have
ended up in the wreck. Everyone from 6th place to 13th
place ended up wrecked.”

Rounding out
Team Waste Management Racing's roster is Dodge Weekly Racing Series driver,
Jesus Hernandez.
"Being a first generation
Mexican-American was a disadvantage when it came to racing. I lacked the
resources that some competitors had. I was racing with second and third
generation drivers with networks and resources that I didn't have. So coming to
this new program allows me to be on a level playing field. Also being on the
forefront of drivers changing the face of NASCAR and paving the way for all
people to be recognized as competitors is an awesome cause." Hernandez said.
