Golden Gate Racing announced this week that David Mayhew is coming onboard as the driver of the #21 car. Mayhew is slated to run the Golden Gate entry for the remainder of the season. Mayhew, from Atascadero, CA, has raced in four of the Grand National Series West events in 2007 and has impressed the team owner, Jim Offenbach, enough that he has asked the 25 year old driver to pilot his Golden Gate Meat Company / Golden Gate Biodiesel and Petroleum #21 Monte Carlo. Mayhew ran the season opener at Kyle Tx, where he finished in 6th place, then again in Phoenix, Iowa with a top ten finish and at Irwindale on the 4th of July where he finished 19th.

Mayhew's first race for the team will be the NAPA 300 at the Evergreen Speedway in Monroe WA on Aug 4th. This will be his maiden voyage around the tight half mile oval. The Golden Gate team has extensive experience at the track and a strong success rate when running there. "David seems to be good match the team and everyone is looking forward to working with him going forward and looking to the 2008 year." Said Steve Portenga, crew chief for the team.

"We are striving to make the team a cohesive group and strengthen our standings in the series, this year and beyond." Said Jim Offenbach. ####
