MICKS HAS UP AND DOWN DAY AT DELAWARE

 

 

 

 

London, ON, Sunday June 6, 2010:  After an up and down day at the first event on the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series 2010 tour Kerry Micks brought the No. 02 Beyond Digital Imaging/Dickies Ford Fusion across the finish line in 9th.

 

Micks started the day with a great practice run where he posted the forth quickest time and qualified even better, putting the 02 BDI/Dickies Ford Fusion in third place to start the race. 

 

Micks stated that he was thrilled with qualifying, “This is a brand new car so we were able to see what it’s capable of.” 

 

The first 10 laps of the Keystone Light 200 were not looking good for Micks as he ended up at the back of the pack, but he fought hard and was running as high as forth when he got a flat tire and went down a lap late in the race. Luck, however, was on Kerry’s side when there was a caution with two laps to go and he was the benefactor of the free pass award therefore got his lap back. Micks restarted the race at the back of the pack and was able to avoid the wrecks on the last lap to finish in sixth place.

 

After the race Kerry commented that “The car was great for most of the race, but there were a lot of ups and downs. We managed to lead a lap so all in all it was a great learning experience and I’m looking forward to next week”

 

Finish:  1. D.J Kennington, 2. JR Fitzpatrick, 3. Jeff Lapcevich 6. Kerry Micks.

 

The Delaware 200 presented by Keystone Light will be aired on TSN on Saturday, June 12th at 2 p.m. EST.

 

The next event for the No.02 Beyond Digital Imaging/Dickies Ford Fusion will be at Mosport International Raceway, just outside of Bowmanville, ON. For more event information please visit www.mosport.com.
