I'm surprised that no one hasn't already brought this up???
Anyway's the news went out Friday, Andrew our 2009 NCATS Champion is officially going to run the #35 Waste Management Chevy for the remainder of the season in the NASCAR K&N East Pro Series.
His first race will be Iowa where both the East/West guys will be running, so this will be a real test for him, not that he hasn't already run wth these guys already, but figuring out how to run the different tracks will probably be his biggest challenge.
I think he's doing things the right way, making the next step up the ladder and I wish him well. If he does well in this series, which I know he will, then the sky's the limit. This is his shot at recognition!
From what I understand he'll still be doing cameo appearances in the NCATS and his agent is working hard at getting him a ride in the Nationwide race in Montreal again this year.
No offense Randy but I don't think Mr Ranger has alot of fans on this board. I lost all respect for him after his tantrum with Kerry Micks in Quebec a couple of years ago . Most of the people I have talked with share that opinion.
We take all racing news here and yes not everyone is a fan of what is posted here but this is a racing site and everything gets posted.
I would have posted it but I guess I'm not on their press release mailings.
Whether we agree or disagree with what Andrew has done or not done in the past, we as Canadians need to support all of our Canadian racers. Here is the perfect example of a Canadian racer working very hard to get noticed by the US series so they can advance and challenge themselves and show the Corporate US world that Canadians can do just as good a job as any other driver. Just provide them with the right opportunity and let them show their skills and not just the amount of money they can bring to the table. Yes being able to bring money to the table helps monsterously but seriously its time to let the skills show through also. All the best to Andrew racing in the East Pro Series and hopefully he makes a good showing. This might actually have a positive effect on the NCATS series as more owners might start looking north to see if there is a development opportunity for them, sort of like KHI with Kale Gale last year. Just my opinion but you never know until they try it.

What...like he was the first one that ever got annoyed at Micks? Come on.
