Go Green Racing

Bristol Motor Speedway will also mark the first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series attempt for Tim Andrews. Following Bristol, the team expects to compete in an additional ten NSCS races.

“Tim proved to us last year that he can get a car into the show, and at this level, that is what it is all about,” said Archie St. Hilaire, Team Owner for Go Green Racing. “The chemistry between Paul and Tim is outstanding. I think that Tim has shown us that he deserves a shot and I have always been a
believer in giving a guy an opportunity.”

Tim Andrews is also scheduled to compete in select NASCAR Nationwide Series races as driver of the No. 37 Go Green Racing Ford Mustang. Calling the shots as crew chief on the No. 37 will be Dave Ingram. Ingram joins Go Green Racing after serving as crew chief for MacDonald Motorsports
last season.

“I feel very fortunate to get this opportunity,” said Tim Andrews. “I have dreamed about being in a Cup car and to do it with my father’s help is unbelievable. I believe in him and he believes in me, it just gives us that much more confidence.”

Paul Andrews is no stranger at Bristol Motor Speedway. As a NSCS crew chief, Paul has earned one pole, two wins, and numerous top-five finishes at the famous half-mile track. “I am really looking forward to this opportunity with Go Green Racing,” said Paul Andrews, also a Maine native. “I was able to work with them at the end of the year and was very impressed with their operations. To be able to work with Timmy for his first Cup race is very special to me.”

St. Hilaire also has big expectations for the 2012 season.

“Bringing on quality guys to Go Green Racing like Paul (Andrews) and Dave (Ingram) is huge for our organization,” St. Hilaire said. “I feel that Paul, Dave, and Clinton (Cram) as our three crew chiefs will bring our entire program to the next level.”

Go Green Racing has purchased their NSCS cars from Roush Fenway Racing and will run the Roush/Yates FR9 motor at all 2012 Cup races. The entire team has been working hard to get all three teams prepared for 2012 at their new shop in Mooresville, NC which will accommodate the
team’s expanded growth.

Go Green Racing has scheduled its NSCS schedule around Paul Andrew’s commitments with Cunningham Motorsports and their ARCA program.

Maryeve Dufault

Dufault scored an opportunity to race the 2011 ARCA Series presented by Menards for the No. 12 Tony Marks Racing Dodge team. She scored one top 10-finish and put together several consistent runs, but also crashed several times, as she acclimated to the heavier handling of 1.5 ton machines. Then Dufault got a one-of-a-kind opportunity. In August, she piloted the No. 81 MacDonald Motorsports Dodge in front of a hometown crowd at Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve road course, finishing 30th in a field with several fellow Candians and a race won by Aussie Marcos Ambrose. While the result was not what she wanted, Dufault’s persistence to race (she has modeled for both Maxim and been a display girl on The Price Is Right to fund her racing efforts) paid off.

As exciting as that step was, Dufault’s status for the 2012 racing season is uncertain. She tells News/Talk WSB that Jared Marks will drive the No. 12 Dodge for the ARCA Season opener at Daytona on February 8th, though she did go and help the team shake that car down at a three-day test this past weekend. Dufault says that despite the marketability of female drivers, the economy is tough on motorsports as a whole and limits everyone’s opporuntities to climb the motorsports ladder.

Randy MacDonald team owner of Mac Donald Motorsports and former NASCAR Driver is excited about the future of MacDonald Motorsports. “We had a great season in 2011 says McDonald, as we began to reposition our program and lay the foundation and blueprint for the future of our race team, we were able to run competitively in the top-15, and going into the final race of the season at Homestead/Miami Speedway, our rookie driver Blake Koch is in contention to take the “NNS Rookie of the Year title”. Said Mac Donald. As Mac Donald Motorsports will be moving on from Koch in 2012, the team’s planned expansion leaves opportunities available for drivers and employees alike.

“In this economy it is difficult for any team to secure a sponsor. It ‘s a shame things have become so expensive and almost out of reach for most drivers’ dream of becoming the next ‘NASCAR star’, so we are trying our best to run a smart business and facilitate those dreams”. With hard work, smart budgeting, low overhead and dedicated veterans of the sport coming on board, MacDonald Motorsports is able to deliver more affordable options.

Mac Donald Motorsports is offering fantastic opportunities for drivers that do not have the financial means of coming up with all that money. “If a driver has a small amount of money or even a potential sponsor that we can assist in securing or partnering with any of our relationships through opportunities and business to business, we encourage them to call and we will do our best to help guide them on achieving their dreams. We have the ability to offer creative and valuable options for a reasonable budget, same great experience, phenomenal marketing possibilities and a chance at accomplishing their dream of racing with a team in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. We are excited about the up and coming talent we currently have under the MacDonald Motorsports umbrella and we are looking forward to what the future holds”. Said Randy.

Whether a driver wants a Late Model Program, K& N Series Team, or if they are ready for the big leagues in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, Mac Donald Motorsports offers opportunities for drivers and can help position and pave the way with an affordable program for their future development and career in NASCAR.

No. 82 Bullet Liner / Foametix Dodge Challenger R/T

Reed at Homestead….. In four previous NASCAR Nationwide Series starts at the 1.5 mile progressively banked oval in South Florida, Reed Sorenson’s best finish was a 4th. This came in 2004 in only his 5th ever start in the series driving for Chip Ganassi Racing. Reed will be looking better that finish this Saturday in his Bullet Liner/Foametix No. 82 Dodge.

Reed Sorenson

Rough weekend at Phoenix….. The Phoenix race was definitely one that Reed and the Bullet Liner/Foametix No. 82 team would like to forget. After getting damage early on in the race, Reed was back on the track before getting a flat right front tire and slamming into the outside wall. Reed was un-injured in the accident but the same couldn’t be said for the MacDonald Motorsports No. 82.

No. 81 Daystar.com Dodge Challenger R/T

Blake Koch on Homestead….. “This is going to be one of the biggest races of my career and I’m so glad my family will be there to cheer me on. My crew chief, John Monsam, has been making my Daystar.com No. 81 faster and faster each week and we’ve got to keep that going at Homestead. Winning Rookie of the Year would be a dream come true and I’m going to do whatever it takes to accomplish that goal.”

Can Blake Win Roty?….. Even after beating Timmy Hill five races in a row, Blake now finds himself trailing Ryan Truex by three points heading into the season finale. The 8th place finish by Truex earned him three bonus points for finishing in the top-10, putting him three ahead of Koch and Hill. There is a lot that goes into the voting process for winning the Rookie of the Year title so anything still can happen at Homestead. Even if Blake does not end up actually winning the prestigious award, it was still a banner year for both Blake and the MacDonald Motorsports team. Both turned a lot of heads throughout the season and should be very proud of their efforts.

Blake Koch

Blake Appearance at Fan-Fest….. Fans will have the chance to meet Blake on Thursday, November 17th at Homestead in the NASCAR Championship Drive Fan-Fest events.

Dwight Kennedy from Northern Provincial Pipelines comes on board to support Kennington, continuing a long-standing relationship with him. Northern Provincial Pipelines have served as Kennington’s sponsor in 22 of his 47 career NASCAR Nationwide Series starts.

44 of those 47 career NNS starts by Kennington have been for MacDonald Motorsports. In five starts at the mile oval in Phoenix, DJ had his best finish in 2008 with a solid 22nd place. Kennington’s best finish for MacDonald Motorsports was a 17th in the season opening race at Daytona in 2009.

At the beginning of the year, Kennington recorded an impressive 2nd place result at the prestigious All Star Showdown at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, CA. DJ also ran the entire NASCAR Canadian Tire Series this season recording two wins, eight top-5’s, and 10 top-10’s on his way to second in the points championship.

Jeni MacDonald, daughter of Randy, will be the car owner on the No. 80 Northern Provincial Pipelines / Clark Construction / Whitemund Mechanical Dodge.

Starting 22nd, Reed Sorenson ran as high as 14th in the Bullet Liner/Foametix No. 82 during the course of the O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge at TMS. Running 21st with 50 laps to go, Reed and the MacDonald Motorsports team scratched and clawed their way to an impressive 16th place finish.

Blake Koch had his best qualifying result of the year with an outstanding effort to put him 13th on the starting grid. During the course of the race, the Daystar.com No. 81 seemed to have a motor problem developing. The car just wasn’t putting out the power that the team was hoping for but the team pushed hard to the finish. The 22nd place result was enough to earn Blake another Sunoco Rookie of the Race award. This puts him into a tie with Timmy Hill for Rookie of the Year with just two races remaining.

“I’m so pumped heading in these final two races being tied with Timmy,” explained Blake Koch. “I know our Daystar team can pull this off if we can keep running the way we have been the last few races.”

Reed Sorenson remains fifth in the NNS driver’s standings but just five points behind Justin Allgaier and Aric Almirola, who are tied third. Blake Koch stays solidly in 18th, while the MacDonald Motorsports No. 81 remains 25th in the owner’s standings.

Burtin Polymer Laboratories (BPL) has announced that they will be the primary sponsor on Reed Sorenson’s No. 82 Dodge for the remainder of the season, starting last Saturday at Texas. MacDonald Motorsports and Sorenson and very happy to represent BPL in these final races while growing exposure for their great products, The Bullet Liner and Foametix Spray Foam Solution.

A new wrinkle to the weekend action is the newly resurfaced Phoenix International Raceway. Over the summer the track was reconfigured during prior to the new asphalt going down and Kennington is looking forward to racing on the smooth surface. “I really enjoy racing at PIR” said the driver. “It’s a fun, fast track and the new pavement should make for some really good racing”.

Reed Sorenson

(MOORESVILLE, NC) October 27, 2011 – MacDonald Motorsports is proud to announce that Reed Sorenson will remain in the No. 82 Dodge Challenger for the final 3 races of the NASCAR Nationwide Series season. After leaving Turner Motorsports three weeks ago, Sorenson joined MacDonald Motorsports at Kansas and also the following week at Charlotte. The team however is seeking out more sponsorship to help finish off the season.

“I’m really happy to have Reed in the No. 82 for the final 3 races,” explained Randy MacDonald. “He’s a great racer and I want to try and help him finish the season out. If we can get some more sponsorship on the car for these last few races it would be a big help though.”

Following Reed’s arrival at MacDonald Motorsports 3 weeks ago, the media was buzzing in his garage stall. A top-5 driver in points changing teams with 5 races remaining in the season in virtually unheard of. MacDonald Motorsports jumped at the chance of having a top driver in their car and helping Reed finish of his season on the right foot.

Two weeks ago at NASCAR’s home track in Charlotte, NC, Sorenson drove the Crusader Staffing/THINK PINK No. 82 Dodge. The car was very quick in practice and he finished the final session 11th on the board out of 50 cars. Sorenson followed that up by earning the team their best starting position of the season with a 15th place qualifying result. He was strong in the race as well, running much of the time inside the top-15.

Reed has had a stellar season thus far with 1 win, 7 top-5’s, and 18 top-10s. He currently sits 5th in the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series standings. Over his 8 year career in NASCAR, Sorenson has racked up 5 Sprint Cup Series top-5’s, 4 Nationwide Series wins, and 38 Nationwide Series top-5 finishes.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available for Sorenson and the MacDonald Motorsports No. 82 for the final three races of the year. The next event takes place November 5th at Texas Motor Speedway while the following two take place in Phoenix, AZ and Homestead, FL. Interested parties can contact MacDonald Motorsports at any time for more information.

Allgaier Motorsports Logo Thumbnail

Enfinger on the heels of a strong 12th place NCWTS finish last weekend at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway driving for his Late Model-owned Bragg Racing Group (BRG) is excited about having the opportunity to carry the Allgaier Motorsports name at one of the most historic short tracks on the circuit.

“I’m very excited about running Martinsville this weekend with Allgaier Motorsports,” said Enfinger, who placed fourth in the final ARCA championship standings. “It’s been something we have been talking about for a while now. Mike (Allgaier), Justin (Allgaier), myself and everyone involved is putting a lot of effort into making this transition a success. This is actually a truck that they (Allgaier Motorsports) built last year for Justin to run but it never worked out. So, now I’m the lucky one that gets to sit behind the wheel.”

The team will be able to hoist the No. 36 in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series as the operation tries to keep as much of the ARCA sentimental elements together as possible. The family-owned team will also welcome England’s Stove Works as the primary marketing partner for Saturday’s short track showdown.

Grant Enfinger

With 41 trucks pre-entered for the final short track contest of the season, the Allgaier Motorsports team will have to beat five other competitors in order to make the starting grid. To help them with the task, the team has turned to veteran racing crew chief John Monsam who will call the shots on the No. 36 England’s Stove Works Dodge Ram this weekend.

After a lengthy tenure in the ARCA Racing Series, Monsam recently has been working in the NASCAR Nationwide Series at MacDonald Motorsports where he is trying to guide rookie driver Blake Koch to the 2011 Rookie of the Year honors.

“I’m looking forward to being on the same team with John this weekend,” Enfinger added. “He has been around racing forever and I’ve known him a long time. Plus, he is well respected in the community, so it just makes sense to have him call the shots on Saturday.”

Despite Enfinger’s impressive short track resume in various types of racecars, the Fairhope, Alabama has never made the trip to Martinsville Speedway. Obviously thankful for the opportunity and eager to roar onto the pavement, the 26-year old is remaining optimistic.

“I’ve never actually raced at Martinsville, but I’ve raced Late Models at tracks similar to it,” the 26-year sounded. “I think coming off a good run at Talladega with another new team to NASCAR will provide a little momentum and feel like I gained some respect from the full timers in the garage. I honestly feel like if we can race in the top-10 and show some good speed and bring home a whole for Mike Allgaier and the entire Allgaier Motorsports team, then everyone will consider the weekend a success.”

Allgaier Motorsports will unveil further plans for its NASCAR Camping World Truck Series effort in the near future.

The Kroger 200 (200 laps / 105.2 miles) is the 23rd of 25 races on the 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series tour. The first of two practice sessions is set to begin on Friday, October 28th from 11:00 a.m. – 12:20 p.m. Final practice which consists of a one hour and 10 minute session begins at 2:10 p.m. and set to conclude at 3:20 p.m. Qualifying is set for race day, Saturday, October 29 set to launch at 10:40 a.m. The field will take the green flag later in the day shortly after 2:00 p.m. with live coverage on SPEED, the Motor Racing Network (Radio) and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Satellite, Channel 90). Pre-race coverage of the contest lifts off at 1:30 p.m. also on SPEED. All times are local (Eastern).

No. 81 Daystar Television Network Dodge Challenger R/T

“It’s going to be tough but I know our car is really fast right now. We made great progress with it at Charlotte and I think it will be good at Texas too,” explained Koch. This was the first race out for Chassis #104 and the team plans to run it again at Texas and Homestead. “If we can win Rookie of the Race at Texas I will be tied with Timmy, which would be awesome. Ryan (Truex) is coming too and will be tough to beat in these final races. We’ll see how it turns out but I’m just so proud of the Daystar team and the season that we have had so far.”

Sunoco Rookie of the Year candidates earn points based on their best 16 finishes of the season. After Charlotte, all 3 drivers have completed their 16 races. This means that any strong finishes now can replace bad finishes from earlier in the season. Drivers earn 10 points for being the highest finishing rookie in a particular event, 9 for the second highest finishing rookie, and so on. Winning Rookie of the Race honors in the last 3 races will be key to filling your 16 race resume with the most “10” point races. A top ten finish by one of the drivers would also be very beneficial, with bonus points being awarded for those results.

There are also points at the end of the year for the highest finishing driver in the 2011 NNS driver point’s standings. Timmy Hill will most likely gain 1 point on Koch and 2 on Truex for this portion of the Rookie points.

The final way to earn points involves the voting of a NASCAR panel on 3 different topics. The first is each rookie’s conduct with the technical inspectors in the garage area and the pits, and with other NASCAR officials. The second criteria is each rookie’s conduct and awareness on the race track, while the final topic is each rookie’s personal appearance and relationship with the media. Driver’s can earn up to 10 points for each criteria, meaning up to 30 points, and a very important piece of winning Rookie of the Year.

Blake Koch

“Winning Rookie of the Race will be the key for these final 3 races,” said Koch. “I would really like to get my first top-ten finish as well and I will be doing all I can to try and accomplish that.”

Every lap is going to count in these final three races and each driver will be giving it their all to beat the other two. All three drivers have been racing all year with one main goal, to add the name, “2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year,” to their resumes.

“We had a really strong Daystar.com No. 81 and it just got better as the race went on,” said Blake. “I’m so pumped we were able to get Rookie of the Race in the pink Daystar car and raise awareness for breast cancer.”

Blake had one of his strongest practice sessions all season long on Thursday night, putting the Daystar No. 81 15th on the speed charts. Qualifying didn’t go as well as the team would have hoped but 27th put them safely in the field and ready for 300 miles later that night.

The finish should bring Blake to just 1 point behind Timmy Hill for the Rookie of the Year award with just 3 races remaining. Blake also moved the No. 81 up one spot to 25th in the owner’s standings and maintained his 18th position in the driver standings.

The Nationwide Series now takes 2 weekends off to prepare for the final 3-race stretch to cap off the season. Those races will take place at Texas, Phoenix, and Homestead.

No. 82 Pink Crusader Staffing Dodge Challenger R/T driven by Reed Sorenson

Sorenson joined the team last week after his sudden release from Turner Motorsports. In his first stint behind the wheel, Sorenson, currently third in the Nationwide Series points standings, finished the race in 26th place.

“I’m looking forward to this weekend, it’s always exciting to run in Charlotte, our home track, and it means a lot to do well here. Our first goal is to qualify in and realistically finish in the top 20,” said Sorenson. “I’m grateful for the support of MacDonald Motorsports and Crusader Staffing for giving me this opportunity, and I can’t wait to get out there on the track.”

Randy MacDonald, owner of MacDonald Motorsports, with strong support from Dell Hamilton and Crusader Staffing worked diligently to get more horsepower for Sorenson this week. MacDonald Motorsports, typically one of the lower funded teams in the series, made strides to set Sorenson up for success, in hopes of him keeping and possibly improving his third place standing.

“We’re excited to be on the car again this week as the presenting sponsor, and honored to have Zeta Tau Alpha and the Think Pink campaign on board to bring awareness to the issue of breast cancer,” Hamilton said.

Crusader Staffing is a nationwide company that specializes in professionally managed warehouse labor. Since 2002, Crusader has been serving its customers all across the US. Headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Crusader provides a wide range of logistics services with a core specialty in loading and unloading freight.
