Bowsher, Disdier to team up again
Frenchman Michel Disdier and Todd Bowsher are teaming up again.
Check out this press release from Jack Bowsher and Associates Motorsports racing team:
TOLEDO SPEEDWAY: FAMILIAR TRACK FOR FRENCHMAN MICHEL DISDIER TOLEDO, Ohio (May 15, 2008) — After a solid 13th finish in his ARCA RE/MAX debut at Salem Speedway last month, Frenchman Michel Disdier is ready to take another step. Jack Bowsher & Associates Motorsports and race car driver Disdier have joined forces again for the May 18th Hantz Group 200 by Federated Car Care at Toledo Speedway. “I’m not nervous, I’m ready to take another step,” said Disdier. “I’m so happy to continue with such a great team. Actually, I’m ready to be there right now! I feel very comfortable with this track. I felt the test went very good when we were here in April. I am very excited about returning to this track. It would be fantastic if we could obtain a top-ten finish.” Disdier is familiar with the track as he tested at the half-mile oval on April, 10th. He will take what he learned from the Salem race as well as the Toledo test and build on it for the seventh race on the 2008 ARCA RE/MAX Series calendar. “We’re looking forward to this weekend,” said team manager Todd Bowsher. “I think the time and effort we spent testing at Toledo Speedway will definitely benefit Michel. It was a very productive test and he used his racing instincts to adapt to the track very well. The focus was more on just finishing the race for Salem. Now that we have the first race out of the way, we can put Michel’s talents on display and concentrate on improving the final outcome.” Powered again by a Rhyne Racing engine, the Jack Bowsher & Associates Motorsports No. 21 will head into the Sunday race with sights on crossing the finish line. With momentum on the rise, it will be an exciting event! The Hantz Group 200 by Federated Car Care (100 miles/200 laps) is the seventh of 21 events on the 2008 ARCA RE/MAX Series schedule. The first of two events held at Toledo Speedway this season is a two-day show. Practice begins Saturday, May 17 with an hour and half practice session planned from 12:30 p.m.-2:00 p.m. ARCA SIM Factory pole qualifying is slated to begin at 3:30 p.m. The field will take the green flag on Sunday, May 18 shortly after 2:00 p.m. The race will be tape-delayed on MavTV with the first showing scheduled for May 23rd at 8:00 p.m. EST. Additional race coverage including live timing and scoring will be available online at arcaracing.com. All times are local.
