SCOUTING REPORT: Garrett Krummert

OVERVIEW:  He's only been racing Late Models a few seasons, but Garrett Krummert is quickly making a name for himself in Pennsylvania and Ohio.  A sweep of Attica's Spring Nationals helped put the 24-year-old Butler, PA driver on the Ohio map in 2012.

WHAT WE KNOW:  Krummert will start the season racing at Attica Raceway Park every Friday night.  After the April 14th show, the team will take a look at the Attica points, the team's sponsorship, and the family business. From there, they will make a decision as to whether or not they will continue to make the 3+ hour drive west for the remaining shows.

WHERE HE'S GOOD:  This is a guy who has Attica figured out.  He's proven that in his limited visits to the 1/3-mile fairgrounds oval.  No doubt his previous experience wheeling a Big Block Modified and a Sprint Car has carried him over to the Late Model side.

WHERE TO IMPROVE:  A little more experience at new tracks and on varying track surfaces will help polish the likable driver in 2013.  If he has an opportunity to travel a little more, he should take advantage of it and get that all-important seat time.  On Saturdays, Krummert will be bouncing around a little as he plans to hit Oakshade for a few select races as well as running ULMS events at Mercer and Sharon among other places.  The Saturday night race-chasing should help him up his game.

DRIVER'S THOUGHTS:  "It's sometimes hard to drive three hours (to Attica) on Fridays when Lerverville is only 45 minutes away ... I'm really looking forward to the Hell Tour race and the Lucas Oil show at Attica.  Last year we showed up late to the SummerNationals race and that put us behind all night, so I want to make up for that poor showing."
