Backstreet boy tops in powerboat racing

(The Express-Times, date unknown)

Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter is once again at the top of the charts--this time in high-speed powerboat racing.

The 22-year-old pop star watched his team, Nick Carter Racing, win the first race of this year's American Power boat Association Offshore Tour on Sunday in Daytona Beach, Fla..

The event marked the debut of Carter's 40-foot, 130-mph Super Vee-class boat.

Carter started the team in February so his father, Bob, could pilot the boat in races. Bob Carter let Key West chiropractor Steve Oropeza take the helm Sunday while fellow Key West resident Lee Murray handled the throttles.
