Now, the popular North Bay musician has customized one
of his songs to pay tribute to one of Northern California's most
talented young lady racers, Alissa Geving of Penngrove, California.
Pestana's catchy song titled "Angel in Flames" was recently
re-recorded to include Geving's name within the lyrics.
Ron Pestana and the Pit Crew is a one of a kind band.
A northern California short track truck racing champion and
singer/songwriter who teamed up with long time music producer/musician
and owner of Bill Bentley Productions, Ron Pestana and Bill Bentley of
Concord, California, have blended their passions to produce the
hottest racing music known today.
It was 2004 and Ron was in his third season of racing
Mini Super Trucks at Altamont Motorsports Park when he met Bill at a
Fan Appreciation night. Bill was an avid fan with a dream of driving a
race car. He listened with interest as the track announcer talked of
Ron's original racing music and his quest for a record deal. Later
that night Bill approached Ron with a unique proposal: "I can make you
a recording artist if you can make me a race car driver". Realizing
they shared the same passions, a partnership was formed.
In 2006 it came together in a blaze of glory. Their
songs were a staple at their home track of Altamont Motorsports Park
and the announcers had given Ron the nickname of "Rockin' Ron Pestana".
The account of Ron and Bill's racing and rock and roll was known by
many. The track obtained NASCAR sanctioning with Ron competing in the
NASCAR Dodge Weekly Racing Series. This was also the year that Ron and
Bill began their search for musicians so they could begin to perform
live. They soon realized that like the California tracks where their
music had become popular, there were hundreds of additional short
tracks throughout the country where drivers and fans were craving
their one of a kind sound.
In 2008, Ron and Bill are concentrating on the release of their second
CD. They have recently added drummer Sean Kelly and have begun
performing live at local speedways that sponsor their music. Their
recent Canadian sponsorship by the Katana Sportsman Tour in British
Columbia and the Alberta Sprint Tour in Alberta has expanded their
music's popularity internationally and their custom work for John
Padjen Motorsports is gaining them popularity in the dirt track market
with popular tracks including the title Dirt Track Racing, Crazy about
Sprint Cars and the newest rendition of "Angel in Flames; the Alissa
Geving version."
"We're proud to do this song to include Alissa Geving, she's quite the
up and coming driver and her name works into the original track
perfectly." said Pestana. "A lot of are songs are tough to customize
and this is actually the first time we have done it with this one. But
it worked really well and it seems so appropriate."
