Nate Bennett

Nate Bennett comes to Springport Motor Speedway to race in the VROA Vintage Modified Series. He is from Richland, Michigan and drives the #00 1940 Mercury Coupe powered by a 255 cubic inch inline 6-cylinder engine.

An up close look at this car reveals a lot of pride with the Extreme Green interior color along with the Extreme Green and Silver accented with white pin striping on the exterior. Nate and crew were rewarded for this as the car won Best in Class for Track Comp-Modified at the 2007 ISCA AutoRama car show in Grand Rapids, MI at DeVos Hall.
