Daryn Pittman & Heffner Racing Headed to Oklahoma!

While most Oklahoma race fans were disappointed that the World Of Outlaws race was cancelled Saturday night at the Salina Highbanks -  Daryn Pittman was waiting for the announcement of the make up date:  Tuesday May 3rd!  The rescheduled event allows Daryn to bring his #27 Heffner Racing Enterprises car to the Salina High Banks on May 3rd.  Car owner, Mike Heffner, is allowing Daryn and Sean to make the 19 hour trip south west so that Daryn has the opportunity to race close to home again.   “I am so excited to return close to home to race in front of my family and friends.  I have not been able to race in front of most of them since 2004.  I need to thank Mike Heffner for allowing me to bring the team to Oklahoma.  The team is based out of Allentown, PA so Oklahoma is not exactly close!  This would not have been possible without help from Danny’s Auto Salvage, Hop & Sack Convenience Stores and BPG special thanks to them for coming on board to sponsor our trip,” says Daryn. 
The reunion will also allow Daryn to team up with past crew chief Danny Foster.  “Danny and I have been friends forever.   He actually worked on my race car for about 10 years and we even went on the road together with the World of Outlaws in 2000.  Danny has been away from the sport for a couple of years and it will be nice to work with him again at the track,” says Daryn.
“I am so happy I have the opportunity to come home and race close by.  I hope all of the Oklahoma fans will stop by the trailer and say hello.  It will be nice to have all of my friends and family there to support me,” says Daryn.
After the Salina Highbanks race on May 3rd the team will race the next two weekends will the World of Outlaws.  Daryn will be returning to Eldora Speedway and wrapping up the mini tour at Williams Grove Speedway for the Morgan Cup and WOO shows.  “The next few weeks are going to be exciting.  I get to go home and then race Eldora with the Outlaws and then head back to defend our home turf when the Outlaws come in town,” says Daryn.
