FORT WORTH, Texas — McKenna Haase started her own racing team at age 13 and at one point went door to door selling batteries while trying to raise money to buy her first sprint car. Now 27, Haase will be able to hire a crew chief and expand her racing schedule with significant help from that same battery company. Haase was at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday to announce a sponsorship with Dallas-based Interstate Batteries. She plans to run 40 races this year between the World of Outlaws and High Limit Racing series. She had been running about 25 races a year and putting in long hours working on the car without a crew chief.
