Young talented driver looking for major help

Hi, my name is Matthew Cochran, I live in Williamsport, PA. I have been racing for over 10 years approaching the 2010 season. Throughout the years I've been a good hard clean driver.

I started racing when I was just 7 years old and I am 17 now. This is for sponsorship of my race car to carry on my racing career, so here is a little bit about my career:

I started out in Quarter Midget in 1999-2000 and did very well in them on dirt and asphalt. In 2001 I moved up to a go-cart just to get used to it and didn't win, but still I was learning. Then I got a new go-cart to compete with that was a lot more fun because I was actually competing. I think I went through four different chassis just experimenting with them. I got 4 wins, placed second 30 times and placed third 6 times, including a fifth place points trophy and third place points trophy through the years 2002-2004. Then in 2005 I went into a slingshot; basically modified but a lot smaller. They were a blast! The best I finished in it was third, coming to the line, the chain broke. In the slingshot I had 5 top fives and 12 top tens. We got out of them because it was too much traveling (the nearest track that was running every week was 3 hours away). In 2006 I went back in the go-cart without a cage. I wasn't doing too well without a cage, so the last two races of the season we put a cage on it. The first race I led every lap until a caution came; I just got a bad start and ended up second. The second week I lead every lap; however, coming to the white flag my weight fell of and popped my right rear tire. I made it all the way coming off turn four until I got passed. I ended up in second place that night. In the 2007 season I went to a micro spring and got 13 wins and a championship at Selinsgrove Raceway Park and 5 wins and third in points at Greenwood Valley Action Track. In the 2008 season at Clinton County Raceway, there were 20 races on the schedule. I was racing the micro sprint, but we had it up for sale, intending to buy a late model. We got 3 races into the season with the micro when we found a late model. At the half way point of the season, the late model season of 8 races was ready and I had 8 top five in the micro at that point. The micro sold a few weeks later and I drove the late model very well for the first time. In the end of five races I was sitting in fifth place in points. The other three races were cancelled and ended up with fifth place in points. I was very happy with my first year. The 2009 season I was short on money and sponsors and we were trying to run a number of tracks in Pennsylvania. I ran a total of five tracks, having 5 top fives, 9 top tens and 8 finishing’s outside of the top ten. My motor blew up twice, which ended my season with three races to go.

The 2010 season will be starting at the end of March and we are struggling for money. My Mom and Dad have carried me through my racing career and now I am trying to find major sponsorship help or a good ride to drive for someone. I am asking if you could please help me out to keep carrying my racing career on. The track that I will be racing is Selinsgrove Speedway located in PA, I will post how I did and where I finished at www.cochranautomotive.net. I am asking if you would like to try and help me out and your name will go on my late model anywhere you want, please give us a call at (570) 326-9354.

Thank you very much in advance,
Matthew Cochran
