Bristol Weekend Coming up for Ray Courtemanche Jr in NASCAR K&N Pro Series East
(firmenpresse) - MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 03/15/12 -- Editors Note: There is a photo and a video associated with this press release.
Montreal racer Ray Courtemanche Jr opens his 2012 season on the high banks of the half-mile (0.8km) Bristol Motor Speedway this coming weekend, in the opening round of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East.
Tackling the high-speed track against seasoned racers in a quicker car than those he races in Canada is a challenge that Ray Jr look forward to. "I tested at Bristol in February and got a first taste at averaging 190 km/h. And at looking high to the left in the high-banked corners to see where I was going. The physical stress is constant on every part of your body, and I had to remind myself to breathe during the three seconds we spend on the two short straightaways during the 20-second lap."
The NASCAR K&N Pro Series East is a stepping stone on the way to more senior series in NASCAR, such as the Camping World trucks, the nationwide and print Cup Series. The Bristol starting field will be a mix of hardened veterans, young racers on the way up, and other professional drivers looking for a win in the prestigious series. The cars are light and agile, and the 650 hp engines turn them into roaring monsters capable of over 220 km/h on the short Bristol bullring.
Courtemanche remains respectful of the track and his fellow drivers. "I am going there to show how quickly I can learn a new track and set respectable times in a new environment, and to pick up on the experience of the racers around me. The car will be prepared by Mario Gosselin, my Crew Chief and coach for the week-end. Our goal is to finish, and a Top Fifteen would be a great bonus.
