Myatt Snider Ready to Defend Race Champion Title at Myrtle Beach

Promising young driver Myatt Snider climbed another rung on the racing ladder last weekend with his truck racing debut at Phoenix. He says that opportunity only makes him want to win Saturday’s big Late Model Stock Car battle at Myrtle Beach Speedway even more.

“It’s just so cool to be able to come back to your roots and race these cars against such talented drivers,” said Snider, a junior at UNC Charlotte and son of noted NBC-TV Sports broadcaster Marty Snider. “We’re heading over there planning on having a lot of fun, but it will definitely be serious business in our effort to win the race.

“We’re the defending race champions and it pays $10,000 to win,” said Snider. “That’s all the incentive we need to be bringing our A-game back to Myrtle Beach this weekend. Of course the big ARCA victory at Toledo this year is the statement win of my racing career so far, but taking the checkered flag first in this race last year is my biggest accomplishment in all the late model stuff.

“It wasn’t just the fact that we won last year’s race that makes it so memorable. The way we won it made it extra special. Battling with Tommy Lemons, Jr., and Lee Pulliam – two legends in late model racing – and holding them off for the win is something I will remember for the rest of my life.”
