David Donohue is the son of the late racing legend Mark Donohue. David has been competing in the sports car ranks and now wants to advance to NASCAR competition. Donohue is participating in the LVMS test session with Team Rensi, as a teammate to Randy Tolsma. Jon Price gained fame in his hometown of Buffalo, N.Y., by fearlessly running five-abreast in his Chevelle on the high banks of Holland Speedway. After winning Holland’s Challenger division title, Price moved to the MBNA Cup Lite ranks and earned yet another championship. Price, who has a major corporation interested in sponsorship, is testing with Rick Ware’s team in preparation for the 2001 season. Price hopes to follow the path blazed by fellow Buffalonian Chuck Hossfeld, who graduated from the Modified ranks at Lancaster (N.Y.) Speedway and earned a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series ride with Roush Racing. Coincidentally, Hossfeld secured the ride in Roush’s truck following a test at LVMS earlier this year. The second day of testing at LVMS ended without incident. Jack Sprague turned in the fastest speed at 163.043mph. Dennis Setzer’s best lap was 160.714mph, while truck rookie and 2000 NASCAR Featherlite Southwest Tour champion Matt Crafton lapped the 1.5-mile oval at 160.142mph. Two new teams Carl Long and Wayne Edwards joined the test session today. Truck Series testing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will conclude on Wednesday, Dec. 20.(LVMS PR)(12-20-2000)
