All about Asphalt Motorsports
We originally started in 2015-2016 under the name of Xterminators. Our first year was a good learning experience.
The following year we went to the Fall Regional and placed 3rd. During that same year we revamped our name and image to what is now known as Asphalt Motorsports. In the 2017-2018 season we placed 2nd in the fall regional competition.
This earned us a bid to National's in Troy, New York. We placed 3rd overall for middle school teams. The next year, 2018-2019, we 2nd and 3rd in our regional, getting us a spot in nationals, at College Station, Texas. At Nationals we won 1st overall for middle school teams. As we get closer to Nationals we are getting everything ready to repeat as champions.
Our team meets for an hour and a half at McPie. Each "group" knows what needs to be worked on. For example, the marketing team knows to work on fundraisers and community outreach. Although we are separate in tasks, we are a team. With this teamwork, we were able to place first in multiple categories, adding up to first overall.
