MOPAR PARTS RETURNING AS SPONSOR & NEW CREW CHIEF FOR RON BEAUCHAMP JR.

While the 2012 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series first event is still months away, Ron Beauchamp Jr. and the #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge team have already been very busy with preparations for another season of competition.  The team has brought in ASA Championship Crew Chief Deon Deneau and there is already sense of optimism for the year ahead.

Driver Ron Beauchamp Jr. is excited to be returning to the series again and continuing his association with long time partners at Mopar Parts, Exide Batteries and Mobil 1.  “We’re so proud to be teamed with the absolute best group of companies you could associate with” said Beauchamp.  “Our relationship goes far beyond the racetrack and their support has been incredible over the years” he added.

Beauchamp and the #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge team were once again tough competitors at each event last season but expectations are even higher for the team this year, which is why the decision was made to bring in new Crew Chief Deon Deneau.  “I’ve know Deon for years” said Beauchamp.  “He’s worked with Butch Miller in ASA, was ASA Crew Chief of the year in 2007, he’s got a lot of other experience and after we met to discuss the opportunity the decision was an easy one” he stated.

Deneau is thrilled to be back home in Canada and working with Beauchamp Motorsports.  “I'm very thankful for the opportunity Ron Sr. has given me, I think the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series has become extremely competitive and has some very talented race teams competing in it and it will be an exciting challenge for us”.    

The race shop for the #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge is already humming with activity.  “Deon has been evaluating some things and making a few changes” explained Beauchamp.  “We’ll also be going over the cars very closely so he can get a better understanding of the setup we’ve been running.  The whole team in energized and we can’t wait to get the season going” he added.

Race fans will have an opportunity to meet Ron Beauchamp Jr. and see the #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge at the upcoming Canadian Motorsports Expo in Toronto, February 10-12 at the International Centre in Toronto, ON.

Ron Beauchamp Jr. and the #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge Team will compete in all twelve races on the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series schedule.  Once again this year all events will be broadcast on TSN.  Fans should check their local listings for times.  For more information about the #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries team log on to www.beauchampmotorsports.com and www.mopar.ca
