"I don't think everyone's going to rush out and sign a unless he's pretty darn good." And if Austin proves himself on the track, Gibbs said, his age won't matter to anyone. The exception would be NASCAR, which won't jet a driver race on its top three circuits Next el Cup, the Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck until age ASSOCIATED PRESS THE KANSAS CITY, Kan. Next October, Chase Austin will finally be old enough to drive to the grocery store by himself. By then, though, he'll also have a full season of stock car racing under his belt. When Hendrick Motorsports signed the high school freshman from Eudora to a developmental contract last week, it raised the question: How young is too young? "All I know, when I think back, is that I wasn't ready to be signed even at 18," said Blake Feese, another of Hendrick's developmental drivers. "So much has changed over the years in terms of how I've progressed." Austin doesn't seem intimidated, although he acknowledges his is an unusual situa- 18.

He's good looking, perand bira- sonable, talented rial, the son of a black father and white mother. , For auto racing, still searching for a way to bring more minorities into its fan base, that makes Austin an appealing combination of Gordon and Tiger Woods. "I do think he's got a lot of natural outstanding talent," said H.A. "Humpy" Wheeler,' president of Lowe's Motor ' Speedway. "He's the best black American I've seen in a race car. I'm glad Rick (Hendrick) has done this, because Rick will be able to put the kind of equipment under him that he needs to reach his potential. "We can do all advertising we . "If you go out there and show Press, Associated BO RADER you're competent, there shouldn't be a problem," Gibbs said. "If you go out there and cause a bunch of issues, that's one thing. But that has nothing to do with age. There's guys who cause issues." Austin does-havan impressive racing resume that invites comparisons to the early years of Jeff Gordon's career.

But if I saw some other have this chance, I'd want it, too." J.D. Gibbs, president of Joe Gibbs Racing, also doesn't have a problem with Austin's age. tion.

"But when we have one that starts winning, that's what's going to break it wide open." Players have been going straight from high school to the NBA for years. The courts, not a lack of talent, kept Maurice Clarett from jumping to the NFL after his freshman year at Ohio State. And earlier this 7 year, Freddy Adu made his highly anticipated Major at 14.

That's how high qualifying speeds can run in the, American Speed Association's Late Model Series, where Austin will compete next year for SS Racing. But there's precedent for other young drivers doing well not only on short tracks, but on He has run modifieds and late models on dirt tracks, has experience on paved tracks in the late model division and in his first year of Topless Outlaw circuit. "Ultimately, the great thing about sKirts racing is that t her you're gi h kI or you're not." Gibbs said. 'T think Rick saw a good opportunity to partner up with a good talent tot the hi hire."
