Blair Addis and Michael Cherry met by chance. Cherry, now 19, was moving to Greenville, S.C., from Valrico, Fla., when events were put in motion that now have a chance to have a larger ripple effect on the entire sport. After driving a late model in the Whelen All-American Series at Motor Mile Speedway in Radford, Va., in 2008, Cherry caught the attention of Addis during October's Drive for Diversity Combine in South Boston, Va. Blair Addis says, "He's just a talent. He's mature for his age. He has excellent car control; that's what I first noticed at the Combine in South Boston. And car control is a big issue with me," said Addis, who won the Greenville Pickens Speedway track championship in 2005. "I just feel like if you have car control and you get yourself into a situation, you can get yourself out of it. He really adapted well to the track in South Boston." Read More
