New ‘Go Canada’ Nationwide Team Is On The Go
Caught in the Catchfence™
Team owner Steve Meehan said his plan is to run “about’’ 10 Nationwide races and two Cup races this season, compete in the Nationwide Series next year, and go full-time Cup racing in 2013.
“I’m excited about it,” said driver J.R. Fitzpatrick. “It’s a great opportunity.”
Fitzpatrick resides in Toronto but plans to eventually move to Nashville once the team has established its permanent headquarters. Meehan financed several races that were run out of Nashville-based Baker Curb Racing complex earlier this season, and is currently using Day Enterprises in the Goodlettsville suburbs.
Team manager Matt Crews said the team is searching for a permanent location. There has been speculation that it will acquire the Baker Curb complex, although one of that team’s owners, Gary Baker, is adamant that the team will not fold.
Baker and partner Mike Curb bought the former Brewco Motorsports three years ago and moved it to Nashville. Since then it been winless on the Nationwide circuit, although it flirted with victory in a couple of races last season wit Greg Biffle at the wheel.
