CASCAR: Micks a disappointing 24th in PowerWater Ford

By: JAJ Entertainment

LONDON, ON (May 22, 2005) – Kerry Micks from Mount Albert, Ontario, driving the PowerWater 2005 Micks Motorsports Ford Taurus, finished 24th in the opening round of the 2005 CASCAR Super Series season in Sunday’s Mopar 250 at Delaware Speedway at London, Ontario.

“The PowerWater Ford was awesome today, we were able to charge to the front after starting third and were leading by lap 16,” said a disappointed Micks after the race. “We stayed up front until we broke an oil pump at lap 38,” he added. “The rest of the day was spent on testing that will no doubt help us in the races to come gain back those valuable points.”

Ron Beauchamp Jr., won the 250-lap event on the Delaware half-mile oval, with Dave Whitlock second and Mark Dilley third.

“In some ways it was a disappointing day,” Micks went on to say. “But perhaps we got our bad luck behind us at the first race of the year.”

The next event on the CASCAR Super Series is scheduled for Autodrome St. Eustache June 4 in St. Eustache, Quebec.

A long-established and popular competitor, Kerry Micks has earned the title “The Iron Man” in CASCAR Super Series competition.

Micks, from Mount Albert, Ontario, drives the PowerWater Micks Motorsports #02 Ford Taurus, and finished the 2004 CASCAR Super Series Championship in fifth position. Micks Motorsports had nine top-three podium finishes from a total of 12 CASCAR Super Series races in 2004, including a win at the last race of the season at Kawartha Speedway.

Micks Motorsports is sponsored by PowerWater, APX Racing Gear and Incentives Inc., Beyond Digital Design, Cathcart Trucking, Ford of Canada and 3M to compete for the 2005 CASCAR Super Series Racing Championship.
