Salem, IN (March 3, 2008) – Open wheel racer Aaron Pierce has decided to go stock car racing with the CRA Super Series for the 2008 racing season. Pierce will be competing for the series Rookie Of The Year honors and the 2008 Season Points Championship for long-time series car owner Ken Muller and the Muller Motorsports Team out of Indianapolis, Indiana. The team will have legendary Crew Chief Bill Rievley turning the wrenches. Muller Motorsports has competed with the CRA Super Series for several seasons mostly with Eddie Van Meter up until June of last season and 1998 series Champion Brian Rievley who took the team to victory lane last season in the series event at Angola Motor Speedway.

"I’m really looking forward to racing with the CRA Super Series this year," remarked Pierce. " I have raced open wheel cars for several years with only a hand full of starts in a stock car, but with Ken Muller’s equipment and Bill Rievley’s help, I don’t think it will take us long to be competitive!"

Pierce made his late model debut with the Muller Motorsports team in January’s SpeedFest event at USA International Speedway in Lakeland, Florida. Pierce was very impressive in his first late model starts including racing for several laps with veteran Eddie Hoffman right on his tail in the North qualifying race on the first day of SpeedFest. Pierce was coming back through the field of that race after going to the rear after a spin caused by contact from another racecar had sent him to the tail of the field, when he was caught up in an accident that ended his night.

Pierce was working his way through the field of the NOS Energy Drink 200, on day two of SpeedFest 2008, when more bad luck struck when he was caught up in a massive wreck on lap 117 when a front running car lost power on a restart. Pierce’s day was done with the car suffering too much damage to continue, but the driver had gained some valuable experience to get ready for his run with the CRA Super Series in 2008.

Pierce currently works for the Bob Bondurant School Of Performance Driving located in Phoenix, Arizona. Pierce has been working at the school for three years while pursuing a career in open wheel racing. Pierce’s open wheel career began in 1999 in a USAC Midget were he won a Rookie Of The Year title. Pierce raced Midgets for a couple of seasons with 2001 being his best season with 13 total victories in various events before moving up to USAC Sprint Cars and HOSS Wing Sprint Cars in 2002. He won his first USAC Sprint Car event that season as well as six races with HOSS Wing Sprint Cars.

Pierce continued to race Sprint cars while also moving up to compete with the USAC Silver Crown division in 2004 when he was Rookie Of The Year in that series. Pierce had two wins with the newly designed Silver Crown Series in 2006 while finishing third in series points and wining the series Most Improved Driver Award. In 2007 Pierce went to victory lane at the famed Darlington Raceway in the Silver Crown Series and finished ninth in series points. Pierce has competed several times in the prestigious Little 500 Sprint Car event at Anderson Speedway, he finished second in 2004, sat on the pole in 2006, and has led 114 laps of that event. Pierce did make three starts in the Hooters Pro Cup Series in 2005, suffering mechanical problems in all three races.

The former Muncie, Indiana resident will have sponsorship for the 2008 season from Bob Bondurant School Of Performance Driving, Sam Pierce Chevrolet, Longs Excavating, Valvoline, Eagle One and Muller Waste Sales. Pierce will make selected open wheel starts during the season at events that do not conflict with the CRA Super Series schedule.
