LONDON, ON - Dave Jacombs opened the 2005 CASCAR season with a 13th place finish in the Mopar 250 on Sunday at Delaware Speedway just outside London, ON.
The weekend started off strong with Jacombs practicing in the top ten on Saturday. After time trials were completed the #88 Lou’s BBQ/FAG Automotive/CPS Flooring Taurus was posted twelfth quickest.
Sunday would see thirty cars take the green flag for the start of the Mopar 250. The #88 Taurus of Jacombs quickly moved up to the top ten where he ran consistently until the first caution flag flew at lap eighty. Dave pitted for tires and fuel and returned to the track 13th.
He steadily moved back into the top ten again. During a long green flag run, leader Ron Beauchamp Jr. in the #60 Mopar Dodge was setting a torrid pace and lapped the #88 Taurus of Jacombs. Two laps later the caution flew so Jacombs ducked into the pits for more changes.
An infraction resulted on pit road and they were assessed a stop and go penalty when the race went back to green thus losing another lap. The Lou’s BBQ Taurus finished up the day two laps down to the leader with a 13th place result. Jacombs commented after the race “This new Taurus was decent today but I know it can be better. The guys in the shop will keep working on the setup and we expect a stronger finish in Quebec.”
The next event for the #88 Jacombs Racing/Lou’s BBQ Team is Autodrome St. Eustache on Saturday June 4th.
Congratulations to Mopar as they finished one, two, three in the event they sponsored with Ron Beauchamp Jr. taking his first checkered flag in seven years followed by #39 Dave Whitlock and #9 Mark Dilley.
