May
17, 2012. The 2012 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series opening event takes
place this weekend at the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (Formerly
Mosport International Raceway) this coming weekend. Driver of the #60
Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge Ron Beauchamp Jr. and the team
have worked hard at preparations during the off season and expect solid
results this weekend and all season long.
According
to Beauchamp there is a real sense of optimism and excitement within
the entire team. Some of that comes from bringing aboard new Crew Chief
Deon Deneau. “At the end of last season we determined that we needed
to make some changes” said Beauchamp. “After meeting with Deon and
hearing how passionate he was and looking at his record of success in
ASA we knew he’d be a great fit.
In
addition to preparing cars during the winter months in the race shop
the #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge team has been out
testing in advance of the race season and has made considerable
strides. “We made some changes to the car during the winter” explained
Beauchamp. “When we got out on the track testing we learned that the
changes we made were the right ones and we expect to be strong right
from the start” he added.
A
slight change to this year’s race schedule has back to back road course
events to open the season. “Our performance on the road courses wasn’t
where it needed to be last year” said Beauchamp. “But we’re not going
to let that happen again. With all the improvements we’ve made to the
#60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge this year we expect to be
competitive every weekend” he stated.
Ron
Beauchamp Jr. and the #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge
team will practice & qualify this weekend at Canadian Tire
Motorsports Park on Saturday. The first race of the 2012 NASCAR
Canadian Tire Series takes place Sunday afternoon at 1:30PM. Fans can
also watch the race on TSN on Sunday May 27th at 4:30PM. For more information about the #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries team log on to www.beauchampmotorsports.com and www.mopar.ca
