Loxahatchee, Florida (07/12/2007): ASA Late Model Series Southern Division
Presented by GM Performance Parts Rookie of the Year title contender, Jeff
Choquette continued his winning ways outside of ASALMS Southern Division
competition as the Loxahatchee, Florida Freshman picked up another Feature win
in his home state of Florida.
His Seventh Overall Feature Win of the 2007 season in non ASALMS events came
last Saturday July 7, 2007 at the Desoto (FL) Super Speedway in Bradenton,
Florida in the All-American Challenge Series 125. His second AACS Feature win in
four starts in the series held exclusively at Desoto. He now sits second in AACS
Points.
Jeff Scofield finished second while Current AACS Points Leader, David Pollen Jr., a
former ASALMS Southern Division competitor in 2006 was third. Veteran Billy
Bigley Jr., and Wayne Jefferson completed the Top Five.
“It feels good to go back to Desoto and win after missing a few of their races.”
Stated the Sunshine State rising star. “We really had a hard time getting a hold of
the track all day Friday night and most of the day Saturday during practice. Late on
Saturday everything came together, and in the race, the car was really good and
we were able to come home with a win and some momentum going to the ASALMS
South race in Birmingham.” He added.
The next event for Choquette and his Choquette Motorsports Team is this
Saturday July 14, 2007 at the famed 0.625 Mile Semi-Banked Paved Oval of the
Birmingham (AL) International Raceway in Birmingham, Alabama for the running of
the Crimson 125. “We’re really looking forward to going to Birmingham after coming
off a second at New Smyrna in the ASALMS South race last month.” Choquette
added.
“Plus we’re coming off back to back wins in our Super Late Model. We’ve heard a
lot about Birmingham and how tough of a race track it is, we just hope we can carry
some of the momentum we have built over the last couple of weeks, run good and
come out with a Top Five!” The Loxahatchee, Florida driver ended.
Heading into Birmingham, Alabama for the Fourth Race of the 2007 Season in the
ASALMS Southern Division, Choquette is only 21 points out of the Top Two in the
ASALMS Southern Division Points Standings and just 61 markers out of the Overall
Points Lead with One Top Five Finish, a season high second at the New Smyrna
(FL) Speedway on June 23, 2007 during the Florida 100 Presented by FLF
Racecars.
Those Top Two teams in the ASALMS Southern Division Owner Points Standings
after the Birmingham event are guaranteed a starting spot in the Crate American
Race 200 at the Bristol (TN) Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee on Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday August 2-3-4, 2007.
The 20-year-old also has Three Top 15 showings in his three ASALMS Southern
Division starts with his worst finish still a respectable 12th place finish in the 2007
ASALMS Southern Division Season Opener at the Bronson (FL) Motor Speedway
way back on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 2007. The Camp Boggy Creek 100 was
also was Choquette’s ASALMS Debut.
Choquette was the 2006 Hoosier Cup All-American Challenge Series Champion at
the Desoto (FL) Super Speedway in Bradenton, Florida. His Third Straight
Championship in the series held solely at the 0.375 Mile High-Banked Paved Oval
in Southwestern Florida.
The now 20-year-old began his racing career in Go-Karts at Eight Years Old. After
four years in Karts he made the transition to Mini Stocks on the dirt tracks in
Florida. A move up the ladder from Late Models to Super Late Models also on the
dirt was next and his stats were impressive to say the least!
In 2002 as a 15-year-old, he won two Late Model Track Championships and
backed that up by picking up the most Feature Wins during the 2003 season as a
16-year-old of all dirt Super Late Model drivers in Florida. Some of his major wins
included the Fall Classic and the Fall Brawl titles both at the East Bay (FL)
Speedway. He also picked up the end of the season Hard-Charger Award also at
East Bay.
For the 2004 season, a 17-year-old Choquette switched to pavement and results
were immediate. He would pick up wins in the 39th annual Governors Cup as well
as winning his first All-American Challenge Series title at Desoto. Overall in his
rookie year on pavement, Choquette racked up an impressive 25 Feature Wins!
In 2005, he was picked as a participant in the Roush Racing Gong Show and made
it all the way to the Top 12 selections. Later that same season, the then 18-year-
old won his Second All-American Challenge Series Championship in a row at
Desoto.
Choquette’s magical 2005 season also saw him pick up major victories in during
Florida Speedweeks in the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New
Smyrna (FL) Speedway where he won the Super Late Models title during the winter
series. He also would later take home wins in the Pete Orr Memorial and the
Riverfest 100 also at New Smyrna.
So far in the 2007 season outside of the ASALMS Southern Division, Choquette
won two Features during the 2007 Florida Speedweeks at the New Smyrna (FL)
Speedway and now has two Feature wins in Desoto’s Hoosier Cup All-American
Challenge Series.
