STEWART FRIESEN OUT AND RANDY CABRAL IN FOR CARQUEST CHAMPIONS FOR CHARITIES EVENT AT STAFFORD SPEEDWAY
(Stafford Springs, CT)—With 2010 Race of Champions Dart Dirt Modified
Series champion and 2010 Syracuse 200 winner Stewart Friesen unable to
attend CARQUEST Champions For Charities due to a scheduling conflict, 2-time
NEMA Midget champion Randy Cabral has stepped in to take his place. Cabral
won the NEMA Midget championship in 2008 and 2009 and he is also the
defending CARQUEST Extreme Tuesday NEMA Midget race champion at Stafford.
While Cabral has plenty of Midget car experience, he admits that he is a bit
lacking in experience when it comes to the Senior Outlaw Kart that he will
be driving in the Inaugural CARQUEST Champions For Charities event.
“I have very limited experience in a go kart,” said Cabral. “I’ve played
around a few times in a kart on a road course, but I think the guys I’ll be
racing against have a lot more kart experience than me. I’m hoping that I’
ll be able to pick it up pretty quickly, it’s a stacked field that I’ll be
racing against, that’s for sure. I have a couple of crew guys that race
karts, so hopefully they can give me a couple of pointers.”
