Andrew Ranger Returns to New Jersey Motorsports Park to Defend ARCA Title; All-American Race Weekend presented by Global Barter June 30, July 1



(MILLVILLE, N.J.) - Since the debut of the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards at New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP) in 2008, there have been no repeat winners. Perhaps, the upcoming All-American Race Weekend presented by Global Barter Corporation presents the best opportunity for the first repeat victor at NJMP when Roxton Pond, Quebec's Andrew Ranger takes to the 2.25-mile Thunderbolt road course to defend his title.



Ranger out-dueled George Miedecke in a thrilling last-lap battle in last year's race to earn his first ARCA Racing Series victory in his first attempt. The two drivers bounced off each other in the final turn coming to the checkered flag, with Ranger emerging as the winner in one of the most memorable and exciting road course races in ARCA history.



"It's something I've always been very proud of, winning in my first ARCA start," Ranger said. "I'm just so proud to be back with the same team and the same car. New Jersey's such a great track, a lot of fun."



Ranger overcame a series of challenges to capture the top-spot on the Victory Lane podium, including a blown engine late in the final practice and having to start in the back for the race as a result.



"It was challenging all the way around. I knew that the team was so well prepared for this race, so there was some expectancy to win, but at the same time, everything was new to me - the series, all the drivers, everything.



"And so many things happened all at once. We had to change the engine before the race, started in the back, and still won the race. I still consider it one of my biggest victories of my career, one I'm certainly very proud of."



And that says a lot coming from Ranger, who has already earned two NASCAR Canadian Tire Series championships in 2007 and 2009. He is currently in a close battle for the same title in 2012, just five points behind the leader in third place.



Ranger also comes to New Jersey fresh from his first victory of the season on the Canadian Tires Series tour, winning the recent Lucas Oil Grand Prix at Circuit ICAR in Mirabel, Ontario.



"We're definitely coming to New Jersey with some momentum. Winning our first race of the year was very exciting.



"I just can't wait to get back to New Jersey. It's such a fun track, but it's also quite challenging. It's both tough and so smooth. You've got the long frontstretch with that sweeping first corner, but once you get on the backstretch, it gets really tough and very technical. It's slippery on the backside and very challenging, but that's what makes it so fun."



Ranger, who also has plans to race in the NASCAR Nationwide Series tour this year, made two additional ARCA Racing Series start in 2011, finishing fifth at both Chicagoland Speedway and the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds mile dirt.



Former ARCA Racing Series winners at NJMP include ARCA champion/NASCAR Nationwide Series veteran Justin Allgaier in 2008, Patrick Long in 2009, Casey Roderick in 2010 and Ranger in 2011.



The weekend's activities at NJMP, as part of the All-American Race Weekend presented by Global Barter Corporation, will feature, not only the ARCA Racing Series, but five additional support divisions including Formula Atlantic, F2000, F1600, the Trans Am Series and the Vintage Trans Am Series.



ARCA Racing Series practice is scheduled on Saturday, June 30 from 11:20-12:50 p.m. and from 1:40-2:40 p.m. Menards Pole Award Qualifying presented by Ansell is at 4:30. The ARCA 150 presented by Global Barter Corporation is scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon, July 1.



2012 is the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards' 60th Anniversary Season, featuring 20 races at 18 tracks. The complete 2012 event schedule is available at ARCARacing.com.



The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards has crowned an ARCA national champion each year since its inaugural season in 1953, and has toured over 200 race tracks in 26 states since its inception. The series has tested the abilities of drivers and race teams over the most diverse schedule of stock car racing events in the world, visiting tracks ranging from 0.375 mile to 2.66 miles in length, on both paved and dirt surfaces as well as a left- and right-turn road course in its most recent season. This year, the series visited Alabama's Mobile International Speedway and Minnesota's Elko Speedway for the first time.



Founded by John and Mildred Marcum in 1953 in Toledo, Ohio, the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) is recognized among the leading sanctioning bodies in the country. Closing in on completing its sixth decade after hundreds of thousands of miles of racing, ARCA administers over 100 race events each season in three professional touring series and local weekly events.

PENTICTON, BRITISH COLUMBIA – The 2011 racing season has been very exciting for Sarah Cornett-Ching and her Summerland, BC racing team.  Starting with the Race 101 program in North Carolina early this year, Sarah has learned a tremendous amount about all aspects of the sport, and applied that knowledge through several exciting events this season, including her NASCAR Canadian Tire Series debut at Motoplex Speedway in Vernon, BC on July 23rd where she had a 14th place finish.  Cornett-Ching was back at Motoplex Speedway this past weekend for the final ARCA West Series event of the season.



Sarah entered Saturday night’s ARCA West finale in 11th place in the point standings and was hoping to have a solid finish to vault her into the top ten and end the season on a high note.  Cornett-Ching began the day with a practice session, and she was third fastest.  She started at the back of her qualifying heat, and again proved that she had a fast car as she moved through the field up to fifth place at the checkered flag.



“We have a fast car, and we are confident that we have the car to beat going into the feature”, says Cornett-Ching.  “We want to end the 2011 ARCA West season on a good note”.



As the race unfolded, Cornett-Ching ran the majority of the event in second place, but lost some ground on a restart and fell to third.  After a spirited battle in the closing laps she lost one more spot as she crossed the finish line and finished in fourth place in a photo finish for the final podium spot, and moved up to eighth place in the series point standings.



“I am really happy with our run tonight”, says Cornett-Ching as she emerged from her car at the end of the race.  “I am glad that we were able to finish the ARCA West season off strong”.



Just one more race remains on the schedule for the 2011 season for Sarah Cornett-Ching, and that is Saturday, September 24th at Motoplex Speedway for the West Coast Fall Classic.  Sarah has had a dominating car in her last two West Coast Sportsman Series visits to Motoplex, Speedway including a win back on August 13th.



“We are pretty excited about coming back here with the West Coast Sportsman Series, considering how we raced the last two times out.  We had a dominating car here just two weeks ago, and had a mechanical problem put us out of contention, and we won the race before that”, says the talented BC racer.



Once the season is over, Sarah will begin to focus on the 2012 racing season.  The team is currently looking for marketing partners for her race team, and hopes to secure funding for a full time ride in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series next year.  To contact Sarah, send her an email at sarah.cornett-ching@hotmail.com.



Since 2005, Sarah Cornett-Ching has racked up a pile of awards, including Most Aspiring driver as well as Champion in her division that year.  Two years later, after moving up a class, she claimed the championship again.  In 2008 she claimed her first ever top five finish in the NASCAR Whelen All American Series, and the following year she finished third overall in the series points standings.  In addition to her third place in points, she also claimed awards for Most Improved driver, Most Dedicated to the Sport and West Coast Sportsman Rookie of the Year Award.  Last season she claimed fifth place in points in both the Okanagen Street Stock Series and the West Coast Sportsman Series.  She was also named Most Improved Driver and Most Dedicated Driver of the West Coast Sportsman Series.  She plans to run the full ARCA West Regional traveling Series this season.

Ottawa, ON (April 18, 2011)  NASCAR driver Pierre Bourque, who normally is behind the wheel during the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, raced this past weekend in the 3 Amigos 250 ARCA Series event at Talladega Superspeedway.  Piloting the #6 Revolution Resources - Fight Network - OCR Gas Bar Toyota fielded by Eddie Sharp Racing, Bourque had a race outing that was as wild as the weather in Talladega.



During practice for the event Bourque showed great poise behind the wheel and posted the eleventh quickest time around the high banked Superspeedway.  “We picked up right where we left off during our testing session” said Bourque.  “The whole ESR team worked really hard and gave me a terrific car” he added.



Bourque would qualify the #6 Revolution Resources - Fight Network - OCR Gas Bar Toyota sixteenth but would have to wait until Saturday morning to begin the race due to extreme weather across the southern US.  “It was quite an impressive display of the power of Mother Nature” noted Pierre.



When the green flag waved on Saturday morning Bourque had the benefit of some great experience to help guide him around the race track.  “My spotter for this event was Eddie D’Hondt who’s been around NASCAR forever as a team owner and he also happens to be the spotter for Kyle Busch so I knew I’d be in good hands” said the confident driver.



Through the early part of the race Bourque proceeded methodically with #6 Revolution Resources - Fight Network - OCR Gas Bar Toyota listening to D’Hondt and maneuvering his ride.  “I learned so much during this race it was amazing” said Bourque.  “This kind of Superspeedway racing is totally unique and it was so important to have Eddie helping me out” he added.



Following an early caution Bourque would find himself running as high as third in the field of thirty nine cars.  “It was a real statement about how well this #6 Revolution Resources - Fight Network - OCR Gas Bar Toyota was running and how quickly we got up to speed” said the driver. 



Though he dropped back due to other competitors having fresher tires, Bourque managed to connect and draft for much of the race with the #5 of Bobby Gerhart and the two worked very well together.  “Our two cars were very compatible” explained Bourque.  “Unfortunately on one of the last restarts we got separated, Bobby went on to finish third which is great, if only we’d been able to stay connected our #6 Revolution Resources - Fight Network - OCR Gas Bar Toyota might have finished even higher”.



Bourque would take the checkered flag and claim a fifteenth place finish.  “I can’t tell you how pleased I am to come home with this great finish in my first race at this track” said Bourque.  “It was an enormous learning experience and working with such a great group at Eddie Sharp Racing.  Our team lead by Crew Chief Dave Leiner who is a Superspeedway expert was very special” he added.



Equally important to the wonderful finishing position for Bourque and the #6 Revolution Resources - Fight Network - OCR Gas Bar Toyota was the exposure for the team to fans and partners.  “We got some tremendous coverage with our in car camera shots during the race on SPEED for all the fans in Canada and the US watching the race live and I’m so grateful for the support of all our partners, especially my fellow competitor from the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Derek White and the OCR Gaz Bar” said Bourque.
