A Young Racer Jumps to the Bigs

By Lynn Bromash

Bobby LaPonte is avowedly just a youth. He is 6 seasons young, the only child of his parents, and lives with his family in Johns Creek, Ga. .

But Bobby possesses big goals. Despite being youthful in age, he's completely set on his dream to sometime drive in NASCAR's giant leagues, the Sprint Cup Series.

Bobby's aspirations are so large, in fact, that he often thinks about racing with the big fellows. According to his folks, Larry and Nancy, he even emulates the clamor of NASCAR cars in bed.

Larry feels that his son got his interest in NASCAR while still inside his mother.

"I raced the amateur road course tour for 10 years," he claimed. "When my wife was pregnant with Bobby, she would always be there to see me compete and we believe that is when Bobby began his passion for nascar."

A lot akin to Jeff Gordon and his daughter Ella, the LaPontes have pictures of jovial Bobby climbing in and out of his father's auto when he was only a baby.

Bobby might drive each day if he was able to, and he becomes that opportunity with the extensive race season, from March until November, in the south. He and his father compete each Saturday and Sunday, frequently going to other areas, which include Alabama, North Carolina, and Tennessee, to take part in their local races.

This previous July, Bobby participated in his first countrywide title event. He earned a win in his semifinal heat race.

Bobby is swift to notify you that he drives in quarter midgets, a lesser variety of the USAC Midget Sprint cars that Cup racers such as NASCAR's title point head Tony Stewart begun his profession driving.

Bobby lets you understand that because he intends to trail in Stewart's footprints and follow that same road in his own driving career.

This small man indeed is looking forward to satisfying his big NASCAR dreams, that of racing with his heroes in the years in store. - 21396
