SHERWOOD PARK, Alberta, Canada --
Noel Dowler, driver of the No. 5 EMCO Dodge and EMCO Corporation have
reached a multiyear partnership agreement that will see Dowler competing
in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series in 2012 and beyond. Following a
successful rookie season in 2011, Dowler looks forward to taking the
next step in his career this coming season as he competes in the entire
NCATS season in a DJK Racing-prepared car.
With the progress the EMCO Dodge team and Dowler made during their
rookie season there is plenty of reason to be excited about the future.
“I‘m really pleased to have this partnership with EMCO,” said Dowler.
“We came together last year and planned on competing in only a select
number of events. When we found ourselves in the hunt for rookie of the
year we added the final few races to the schedule and it’s been building
from there. The confidence EMCO has shown in our group with this
commitment is a huge boost for our team.”
Area Manager for EMCO Corporation, Graham Faulder, is excited to have
this long-term agreement with Dowler to participate in the NASCAR
Canadian Tire Series. “At EMCO we are very pleased to be aligned with
Noel Dowler and the No. 5 EMCO Dodge team in the NASCAR Canadian Tire
Series. It’s a great opportunity to grow our customer relationships at
various NASCAR events across the country. NASCAR continues to grow in
popularity and EMCO is excited about expanding our market presence along
with (stock-car) racing in Canada.
“The Apollo Motorsports Team had an excellent first year. The team
and young Noel Dowler learned alot last season, and they were great
ambassadors for our employees and customers. We look forward to 2012 and
we'll be in the winner's circle when Noel gets win number one,” said
Faulder.
Dowler’s racing season will begin in a few short weeks as the team is
traveling to compete during Speedweeks at New Smyrna Speedway in
Florida. “We have a car that DJ Kennington has been preparing for us to
race,” said Dowler. “It’s a great opportunity to get some more
experience against some good competition before the NCATS season
begins.”
The 2012 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series begins May 20th at Mosport
International Raceway and features 12 events from coast to coast
including races during the Edmonton Indy weekend and the NASCAR
Nationwide Series event in Montreal. For more information about Noel
