NOBLESVILLE, Ind. —December 29, 2016- The next phase of the Clauson-Marshall Development program gets going this week with Zeb Wise competing in the 32nd annual Tulsa Shootout at the Tulsa Expo Raceway.
Wise will race under the Clauson-Marshall banner in both the winged outlaw and non-winged outlaw divisions atop the fifth-mile indoor clay oval. He will take on nearly 170 rivals in the winged outlaw ranks and more than 230 competitors in the non-winged outlaw division.
Zeb Wise is a natural fit for this stage of the Clauson-Marshall Development program because he has come from the quarter-midget venue which we see as much more than a driver training ground, but more importantly a place a kid can develop a love for the sport while enjoying the social aspects of friends and family time.
“Bryan and I first noticed Zeb and his family at one of the Gasoline Alley Quarter Midget races we attended at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway a few years ago,” Tim Clauson explained. “What struck us was that amongst the sea of toters and haulers, there was a father and son working together out of a truck and a trailer and honestly it reminded us of ourselves 15 years earlier.”
Wise is chomping at the bit for the opportunity with Clauson-Marshall Racing.
“Words can’t describe how excited I am to be part of the Clauson – Marshall Development Program,” Wise says. “Bryan has always been a mentor towards me and it’s kind of been a dream of mine to be like him when I grow up.”
Wise continued, “To be the first Development driver is quite the accomplishment in my racing career, and is awesome to help start up this program. Just this past weekend I went to the PRI show with Tim Clauson and Richard Marshall. I realized the respect that everyone has for these two and it really amazed me. Again, I’m very excited to be driving the CMR Development Driven Performance No. 39 for Tim and Richard.”
