this weekend. The Classic is one of those events that I grew up as a kid wanting
to win and this could very well be the opportunity to do that's, commented
Jefferson . "Magic Metals was able to put together a program to make it possible
for us to run this event and we really feel as though we're set up for success."
Ron Bemis, a veteran driver in his own right, has had Jefferson drive his car
previously and they have developed a strong working relationship. "I am honored
to be able to work with a driver of Jeff Jefferson's caliber. He truly
represents all that is good in this sport and like most people in the North West
I would like to see big things for him (Jefferson) in the future."
It has been a somewhat quiet year for the Washington driver that began the year
as a three-time
defending NW Tour Champion. But when Jefferson received the opportunity to
showcase his talent, he made the most of it. Winning the Montana 200 in

Miller 200 at South Sound Speedway in Tenino , Washington . In July, the 34 year

"We are really trying to use this race to build some momentum for a strong
2007," said Jefferson . "We are working on some very exciting west coast
opportunities for next year and while we may have only run limitedly this year,
we were able to run hard, win races and represent the team and sponsors well."
