The NASCAR K&N Pro Series East has had a month off and is preparing for the busiest weeks of the season as they will compete in 5 events over the course of 6 weeks. The first race in this series is the Stars and Stripes 150 at Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan.
Hunter Baize will pilot the No. 13 Overstock Mercantile entry for Martin-McClure Racing for the upcoming event. Baize, who is currently 3rd in year long point standings, will be under the direction of Crew Chief Matt Webber. Webber joins the Martin-McClure Racing organization and brings with him extensive knowledge in the ARCA Racing Series as well as the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East.
Berlin Raceway boasts a 7/16ths mile asphalt oval racing surface. Drivers in the series will have a day for testing prior to the feature event.

Eric McClure:
“We’ve used these few weeks off to prepare for the busy month ahead. We’re ready for Berlin and for the excitement that lies ahead. I have complete confidence in our team and am so proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish this season so far. We’ve got a long way to go until our last race in Dover, so we have to stay positive and stay prepared so we can strongly finish the season.
I look forward to spending the weekend at the track with our crew and to the busy weeks to come. Our season starts now and we’re ready.”

Hal Martin:
“With half of the race season behind us and being solidly seated 3rd in points, I feel like our season starts now. Hunter has shown incredible consistency throughout this season and our crew has shown incredible effort and dedication to our program.
Hunter has a lot of experience at Berlin. I know he’s going into the weekend feeling confident. I think between Hunter’s experience at Berlin and Matt Webber’s plan we’ll have a fast car and will be ready to defend our solid position in the points standings.”

Hunter Baize:
“It’s always fun to return to a track that you have experience at, especially one filled with achievements and career firsts. Berlin is such a place for me. Berlin is the site of my first career Fast Time Award in a full-bodied stock far, as well as the track where I made my first career start, and top-10 in ARCA. I believe my many laps around the tricky speedway, as well as everyone at MMR’s tireless work ethic will provide for a strong showing this weekend.”
