<\/span>Harrisburg, N.C. (August 31, 2009):<\/strong> Andy Santerre Motorsports together with driver Brett Moffitt have announced that they will compete in this weekend\u2019s Central Iowa Building and Construction Trades 125 at Iowa Speedway, a NASCAR Camping World Series West event. Moffitt will be driving the No. 4 Chevrolet sponsored by Karl Chevrolet. This will be Moffitt\u2019s third start at the track closest to his Grimes, Iowa hometown. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>\u201cWe\u2019re really excited to be heading back to Iowa Speedway,\u201d said Moffitt. \u201cThe last time we were there we had a really competitive car, but we got tight in the last 20 laps or so and finished sixth. I know we can go there and run good so I\u2019m really looking forward to it. I\u2019ll have my friends and family there, and I really think that Iowa is one of the best tracks I\u2019ve gone to with the Camping World Series. I can\u2019t think of a better place to give them a win!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Moffitt is currently sixth in the NASCAR Camping World Series East point standings with one win, four top-five, and seven top-10 finishes. Only 14 points separate him from the fourth and fifth place drivers as the series comes to its final two-race stretch that kicks off at New Hampshire Motor Speedway later this month. The extra seat time at Iowa should be an advantage for the 17-year-old driver.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>\u201cOur last two races are on tracks a mile or bigger,\u201d said Moffitt. \u201cIowa isn\u2019t quite a mile, but its close enough. The seat time is what\u2019s important. When you\u2019re on track you get a momentum, you get better. We\u2019re still within striking distance of the championship in the East Series so anything I can do to get closer to that, I will.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Moffitt has cemented a reputation as a go-getter in the NASCAR Camping World Series East. He\u2019s earned a place in the record books as the youngest driver in series history to win a pole, win a race, and lead the series point standings. But this weekend will mark his debut in a West Series stand-alone event.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>\u201cI raced with these guys back at the combination race with the East Series in May,\u201d said Moffitt. \u201cEveryone I raced with was clean, and I raced them clean. There are some talented drivers in the field and I look forward to racing with them again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>The Central Iowa Building and Construction Trades 125 takes place under the lights with an 8 p.m. start time on Friday, September 4th<\/sup>.
