Trevor Tichy, 21,  tested a NASCAR Craftsman Truck for Lafferty Motorsports October 2007.   Lafferty Motorsports is located in Concord, North Carolina and Tichy has been talking with owner Chris Lafferty since the beginning of the year about a driver development program.  Tichy had gone to Concord for an initial meeting in July and felt the meeting with Chris had gone very well so he returned to test in October. 

The test consisted of two days beginning on a Thursday.   The first was at Lafferty’s shop in Concord  and a variety of areas were covered, specifically marketability and expectations of the driver and characteristics they were looking for in a driver.   Friday’s test took place at Hickory Motor Speedway which is known as “America’s Most Famous Short Track,”  and a place Tichy definitely wants to race at.  He describes the track as "high banked, 1/3rd mile with short straight-aways.  It was really fast and you sure get a sensation of speed." 

“I am extremely grateful to Chris  for having this opportunity come before me“,  Tichy said.  “Coming from a mom and pop racing program, the drive is stronger to find the resources to reach my goals”.   Don’s Home Improvements, in Oswego, as well as some private parties, stepped up to make the test possible.  “ I just want to race”, Tichy said.
