Derek White - Camping World Trucks in Kansas

Derek White de Kahnawake, QC ce weekend était au Kansas pour essayer de prendre sont 3e départ en carrière dans la série de camion NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

Derek White of Kahnawake, QC was attempting this weekend to qualify for his third NASCAR Truck Camping World Series (used to be the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series) start in Kansas.

Le régulier des séries ACT Castrol et de la série NASCAR Canadian Tire Series n’a malheureusement pu tourer un temps assez rapide pour se mériter une place parmi le groupe des 36 partants.

« Nous sommes arrivé ici avec un camion de courte piste tandis que les autres sont ici avec des camions de longue piste, nous avons donc dû composer avec un désavantage aérodynamique important. Sur la ligne droite nous étions jusqu’à 10mph plus lent que les autres. C’est très décevant » déclara White quelques minutes après que les dernières camionnettes aient complété leurs tours de qualification.

Si Derek White encaissait amèrement cette performance, il a déjà commencé à préparer les prochaines étapes dont une formation en circuit routier à Las Vegas prochainement. Une formation qui sera donné par Ron Fellowss.

A regular on the ACT Castrol and the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series fronts, he unfortunately was not able to turn a lap fast enough to lock himself in the 36 truck starting field.

“We got here with a good truck, but its a short track truck. Meanwhile the others came here with Super Speedway trucks. We had to deal with the aero handicap which made us some 10 mph slower than others on the straight aways” said White a few minutes after the last trucks had completed their qualifying runs.

If Derek White was visibly disappointed with tonight’s performance, he is already looking ahead. One thing he is looking forward is the road race class he will attend in Las Vegas. Povided by Ron Fellows i

2010 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Practise Day May 18th at Delaware - Tickets on Sale for Series Opener June 5th.

The countdown to the 2010 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 is officially on, with Tuesday May 18th set aside as Practise Day.  It’s free to fans who want to drop by Delaware Speedway and watch NCATS teams to put their cars through their paces on the legendary half-mile track.  Canada’s premier NASCAR racing series is kicking off June 5th with the opening race, hosted by Delaware.

 

Joe Czernai, Delaware Speedway’s General Manager, couldn’t be prouder to host the cream of this country’s racing crop and open the series.

“We’re extremely excited to be kicking off the 2010 NCATS season.  Last year it was our biggest event and this year promises to be even bigger. The hype and atmosphere surrounding the festivities is awesome. Our partnership with NASCAR and NASCAR CANADA has allowed us to expand and market our product to people that may not have heard of or been to Delaware Speedway before. We are privileged to be kicking off the season and have some of our weekly competitors and some familiar faces back here at the track competing for the big prize!”

 

In the series’ 2009 stop at Delaware, local favourite D.J. Kennington rode to Victory Lane and finished the season second in points.  Although he’s currently south of the 49th parallel competing in select NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races and possibly some Nationwide races, D.J. will return to his home track to defend his title June 5th. 2009 National Series champ Andrew Ranger will also race in the opener at Delaware.

Series Director Brad Moran can’t wait to get the season started.

“Everything is rounding into shape and it should be another competitive season for the great NASCAR fans in Canada.  It’s only fitting that we kick off the season at Delaware Speedway; a place with great history in Canadian stock-car racing. Getting it on the schedule last year was a thrill to everyone associated with the series. The time and effort that everyone put into that race paid off with a tremendous event which I’m sure we’ll have again this year.”

Tickets are now on sale for the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1, June 5th at Delaware Speedway.  There are some nice price breaks for purchasing certain tickets online in advance, via www.delawarespeedway.com .  Whether you’re bringing clients, your family or just getting together with some buddies, the kick-off to the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 promises to offer thrills and excitement as race fans from coast to coast turn their attention to the action at Delaware Speedway on June 5th 2010.
