 LAKEVILLE,
IN (January 13, 2012) – An exciting 2011 WKA National Road Race season has
come to a close and it was a memorable season for Hoosier Racing Tire’s new

The Maryland native had a stellar season, collecting wins at Roebling Road, VIR,
and New Jersey Motorsports Park. Colborn clinched the championship in an
exciting battle at Mid-Ohio where he finished 2nd by a scant .079
