The Neville brothers in action.
With renewed support from Dixie Chopper, the Brothers Neville -- 2006 ASALMS Rookie of the Year Derek Neville (95) and 2007 Northern Division runner-up Nick Neville (55) -- will begin their third season of ASALMS North racing this weekend at O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis.
The 2008 season opener was scheduled April 12 at Toledo Speedway but Mother Nature had other ideas and the race was postponed until June 1.
With the rescheduled 2008 season opener now set for Friday, April 25 at ORP, Buzz Motorsports comes into the GunBroker.com 100 fueled by some exciting news. Dixie Chopper has re-signed with the Buzz Motorsports Team for 2008 as primary sponsor of both the No. 55 ASALMS car of Nick Neville and the No. 32T Quarter Midget of Trevor Neville.
In addition, Dixie Chopper has also announced it will be an associate sponsor of the No. 95 ASALMS car of Derek Neville and the No. 27D Quarter Midget of Danielle Neville.
“This has really been an exciting couple of weeks for our team,” an elated Jamie Neville, car owner for Buzz Motorsports noted. “First of all, Dixie Chopper confirmed that they are eager to step up to the plate again this season and not only sponsor Nick’s car, but to also extend their support to the entire Buzz Motorsports (aka Neville) family. I’m proud that they have the confidence in our drivers and crews to continue marketing the ‘World Fastest Lawn Mowers’ with our team.
“Secondly," he added, "the addition of the legendary Mike Butz as Derek’s new crew chief is a fantastic way to start the season. His knowledge and experience will make our entire team second to none in the ASALMS.”
Derek Neville was the 2006 ASALMS Northern Division Rookie of the Year. In his sophomore season in 2007, he scored one Top Five finish, a season-best fifth in the Missouri 100 at the I-70 Speedway on June 9, 2007. He also racked up an impressive six Top 10 finishes in the nine ASALMS North events in 2007.
Nick Neville was the 2007 ASALMS Northern Division runner-up, earning that spot based on his career-best third in the 2007 ASALMS Northern Division Season Championships /Oktoberfest 100 on Oct. 6. Nick led the first 33 laps of the Oktoberfest 100 and vaulted himself from sixth all the way to the runner-up position in the final 2007 ASALMS Northern Division points standings.
The 2007 Oktoberfest Best Looking Car and Crew Award Winners’ third place at the LaCrosse (Wis.) Fairgrounds Speedway was his career-high finish and one of three Top Five finishes to go with seven Top 10 showings. All of his Top 10s came in the last seven races in 2007.
For the 2008 racing season, Nick Neville will carry the colors of Dixie Chopper on the side of his lime green No. 55 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Additional support comes from Nick’s Quality Lawn Care (for which Nick Neville proudly uses Dixie Chopper mowers), Ben E. Neville Roll-Off and Trucking Service, M.P.H. Promotions and Buzz Motorsports.
Derek Neville will steer his red and black No. 95 with sponsorship from Ben E. Neville Roll-Off and Trucking Service, as well as Dixie Chopper, Neville Land Development, M.P.H. Promotions, and Buzz Motorsports.
