FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bellingham, MA – May 8, 2024 – As the engines roared to life at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl for the inaugural race of the season, DDR Motorsports had an extra surge of adrenaline thanks to their new sponsor, Skilled Trades Partners. The Bellingham-based racing team kicked off the 2024 season with enthusiasm and determination, fueled by the support of their latest partner.
Doug Robbie, the owner of DDR Motorsports, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Skilled Trade Partners as our new sponsor. Their partnership is a testament to the growing recognition of our team and the potential benefits they see in aligning with us. We are excited to showcase their brand at all the track
s we visit.”
Skilled Trade Partners CEO Seth Chisholm added, “We consider STP a fast-moving company and are excited to partner with a young racer and assist his career. We understand that to get ahead in the trades, you need solid partnerships, and this extends our brand into a new venue where tradesmen and women have a vested interest. “
The race weekend had its share of highs and lows for DDR Motorsports and driver Derek Robbie. The team performed admirably during practice and qualifying, securing a commendable second-place finish in their qualifying heat. This achievement positioned them well for the main event, starting from the fifth position on the grid.
However, the feature race presented its challenges. Handling issues plagued the car, causing it to slip just outside the top ten after running strongly in the early stages. Despite these setbacks, the team’s unwavering resilience shone through as they maintained a position between 10th and 12th for the remainder of the race and Derek brought the car home to a 12th place finish.
Post-race analysis revealed that the team had misjudged their adjustments for the feature, impacting their performance on the track. With the race predominantly running under green flag conditions, opportunities to rectify the situation were limited, emphasizing the importance of track position in competitive racing.
Looking ahead, DDR Motorsports remains optimistic and confident in its ability to learn from the experience and build upon its foundation for future races. It anticipates the next event and is eager to showcase its potential on the track.
In addition to Skilled Trade Partners, DDR Motorsports extends its gratitude to its other valued marketing partners: New Hampshire Oil Undercoating, Fubar Studios, Gaston Racing’s GRE6, and Ashaway Performance Engines. Their continued support is vital to the team’s success on and off the track.
