Steve Arpin poised to be known ‘Nationwide’
Caught in the Catchfence™
The 25-year-old Fort Frances native already is a fan favourite—taking home the “Most Popular Driver” award at the ARCA RE/MAX Series awards banquet in Covington, Ky. on Saturday night.
But Arpin has caught the attention of a couple of big names in the racing world, too.
Arpin is working with NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt, Jr.’s company, JR Motorsports, in an attempt to raise the required amount of sponsorship money to compete in the Nationwide Series next season.
That circuit would have Arpin competing against high-profile drivers such as Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards, who also reportedly has been impressed by Arpin’s ability.
“[They’re] going out of their way when, really, they owe me nothing,” Arpin said from his home in North Carolina.
“They’re just seeing me as a guy who’s been working as hard as I possibly can and deserves a shot.
