FULL FIELD: Mulkern Racing Taking 3 Cars To “The Race”
Sommerville, Rowe join owner Scott Mulkern at North Wilkesboro
FALMOUTH, Maine – There’s really only one reason that Mulkern Racing will field three cars in this week’s inaugural PASS-sanctioned “The Race” at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
The team wants a win.
“I don’t really look at it any different from any other race,” said team owner and driver of the No. 84 Community Pharmacies Dodge, Scott Mulkern. “Once you’re in the car, I’m in there to win whether it’s for a million dollars or one dollar. Don’t get me wrong, I certainly appreciate the purse, but we’re going to try to win.”

When the 2011 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour season takes the green flag at Thompson (Conn.) International Speedway on April 10, longtime car owner Bob Garbarino will be in a position with which he has become familiar in recent seasons: defending champion.

ACT OPENER AT LEE TO HAVE PLENTY OF NEW NAMES NEW HAMPSHIRE’S MILES CHIPMAN TO DEFEND TITLE
Waterbury, VT – The officials at the American Canadian Tour (ACT) based in Waterbury, VT have seen the largest influx of new teams to begin the 2011 season in its history.
“This is a good sign that things are improving in spite of the recessionary issues we have been facing over the past couple years. Also, just as in 2008, the spike in the price of fuel apparently does not seem to be having much effect with the enthusiasm to get the season open. We actually think we might have benefitted during the 2008 fuel increase, as many fans attended the regional and weekly short tracks, rather than taking expensive, long distance vacation trips,” said Tom Curley, President of the American Canadian Tour.

TONY STEWART – Messin’ with Texas
KANNAPOLIS, N.C., – Despite the warning carried on bumper stickers slapped on the backs of countless pickup trucks and cars throughout the state of Texas, Tony Stewart enjoys messin’ with Texas. In fact, the “Don’t Mess with Texas” mantra might as well be an invitation for the driver of the No. 14 Mobil 1/Office Depot Chevrolet Impala for Stewart-Haas Racing.
Stewart has been messing around in Texas for nearly two decades, first harassing drivers in the IZOD IndyCar Series and now drivers in the elite NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

MACDONALD FINISHES FOURTEENTH AT GREENVILLE
The much anticipated K&N Pro Series East season opener took the green flag in the Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet 150 at Greenville Pickens Speedway after a week’s rain delay yet the outcome was not the anticipated one for Eddie MacDonald and the Grimm Racing Team. The series veteran fought a loose handling racecar for much of the race hanging on for the 14th spot when the checker flag flew.
“The car was so loose at the end, I felt like I was dirt-tracking in the turns. The car was really good early in the race and we were moving forward for the first forty laps but then it just kept getting worse,” said MacDonald after the race.
