The BMR team effort will be made up of four drivers including; three-time NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Champion Eric Holmes, 2010 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Champion DJ Kennington, three-time NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Most Popular Driver Moses Smith, and NASCAR newcomer Travis Pastrana who later this year will make his debut in the NASCAR Nationwide Series for Pastrana Waltrip Racing.
The 2010 NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Champion, Eric Holmes is looking to make it two-for-two at the spring race at PIR. Holmes came to Phoenix looking to record his first career win at the one-mile dog-legged oval last season. Piloting the no. 20 NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota Camry for Bill McAnally Racing, his goal was met.
The 2010 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Champion, DJ Kennington will be in the No. 17 Castrol Edge/Northern Provincial Pipeline Toyota Camry. The St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada resident has five wins in 2010 all coming on ovals. He finished on the podium in second place for the 2011 NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown in January.
Coming off his best season ever in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, the three-time Most Popular driver and Arizona resident, Moses Smith would like nothing better than record his first series win in front of his home-town crowd. The veteran driver from Bill McAnally Racing returns to drive the No 16 Hasa Pool Products. NAPA Filters will return strongly in 2011, continuing their 13 year partnership, while sharing exposure on the No.16 Toyota with Hasa throughout the year.
Through a partnership, BMR and Pastrana-Waltrip Racing have worked together to get Travis Pastrana his first visit as a NASCAR driver to PIR to gain valuable seat time. He is driving the No. 99 Boost Mobile Toyota Camry. The car coming out of Pastrana Waltrip Racing’s 2010 Nationwide fleet, was prepared by BMR and will be manned by team members from Pastrana-Waltrip Racing and BMR led by crew chief Mike Greci. Pastrana recently made his NASCAR debut at the Toyota All-Star Showdown in Irwindale, Calif. where he finished sixth.
The Phoenix race will be televised on SPEED Channel. Check your local listings for date and time. The event will also be covered with lap-by-lap coverage on the NASCAR Home Tracks website.
