Young Guns Of Mud
By: Robert Heikens
Justin (Bubba) Keeter, Nick York, and Nathan Leach are all avid mud racers that compete at every local race. Justin and Nick share the driving duties of a '79 Ford F-150 longbed truck with a 460 c.I. motor named "Higher Education"! Competing in street and super street classes , these two 12 year old, 6th graders are students at Camden Intermediate School and have no problem mashing the gas pedal and winning trophies !
Nathan Leach, a 13 year old 8th grade student at Moyock Middle school races an '83 Chevrolet S-10 powered by a 496 c.I. motor and competes in the Unlimited, Iron X and tough truck classes. Nathan's truck called " Can't Hurt It" also races at both local tracks and has the trophies to prove it !
All three of these boys love to race but also enjoy getting dirty and greasy working on their trucks to keep them ready to race at the next event . These three young men have a passion for mud racing but also have other hobbies and interests ! Justin and Nick like to hunt, fish, play football and baseball. Nathan likes to fish, go crabbing, and run track at school.
The competition in the classes these boys run in had better keep an eye out for these three! Mud racing in the 252 is growing bigger each year and these three boys are one of the reasons why! Get out to races and watch these boys rip it up at Muddy Motorsports Park or Morgan's Corner Proving Grounds
