Ron
Sheridan to pilot Mid America Motorsports #42 at Delaware
|
|
Round
#6 of the Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup is just a week away, and
will take place under the lights September 5th at Delaware
Speedway. This show promises to be a great one, with a full
field of cars planned to take to the track for a Saturday
night Shootout in Twin 50 lap events sponsored by McColl
Racing- The
McColl 100.
Joining Canada's fastest growing Stock Car Series, the
National Stock Car Association, will be long time veteran driver
Ron Sheridan of Mount Bridges Ontario. Sheridan who has captured
more than his fare share of win's at Delaware Speedway will
be driving for the first time for Mid America Motorsports in
the #42 Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
Sheridan will team up with last year’s Rookie Of The Year
winner Brennan Didero, driver of the #24 Lucas Oil /
Benson Auto Parts Chevrolet, who currently sits 5th in the
point standings, and only 4
points out of 3rd in a very close title battle which
has produced some great racing this year.
Mid America Motorsports will enter the #42 for the first time
this season with the intent of show casing the car For Sale,
and needed a Driver that could show the cars capabilities
without tearing it up. Ron Sheridan fit the program with
aces.
" Ron has always been the type of driver to race smart-
take his time- and run up front without tearing the heck out
of a car. We built this car with the very best in equipment,
and required one of the very best to pilot the #42 so racers
could see the cars potential..... Sheridan was a natural
fit" said Team Manager David Didero.
This will mark the first time that racing legend Ron Sheridan
will climb into a Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup car and the Mid
America Motorsports Team looks forward to giving him a good
ride. At this point the Teams plans are to showcase the car in
Practice, Qualify, and run a smart Race giving everyone
an opportunity to see the #42 on track.
The Team is still looking for sponsorship for the car,
and if all goes well can show up on track with a new sponsor
to fill the quarter panels. Either way, Ron Sheridan will be a
welcomed racer to the Series, the Fans and the other Drivers
racing
for the Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Championship which will go
down to the wire on September 12th at Flamboro Speedway for
the final race of the season.
Didero closed by saying, " It’s a real pat on the back
when you can have someone like Sheridan step up to the plate
and jump in on such short notice. Putting both cars in
contention to win is the only thing on our minds right now and
hopefully sell this car to someone that is looking for top
shelf equipment to run with next season. Ron understands
that our main goal is Brennan in the #24 as he looks
to climb up in the point’s battle and the chase for the
Championship."
