July 12, 2005. The #42 LE Walker Transport Chevrolet team has worked almost non stop to get their cars prepared for each of the CASCAR Super Series events but once again it was the actions of others that will keep the team busy with repairs.
As the CASCAR Super Series hit the streets of Exhibition place for their annual visit to the Toronto Indy circuit the team was looking for a solid effort to get some positive results.
After barely taking the green flag for practice on Friday afternoon another competitor made a terrible mistake not slowing for a yellow flag and bounced into the #42 LE Walker Transport Chevy causing significant body damage. The crew made repairs as best they could, and got the car ready for qualifying on Saturday. With only limited time however they would start 27th.
Driver Sean Stafford approached the race with the same let's make something positive out of this attitude but it was not to be. Again with only a handful of laps gone in the 100km race, other competitors got into each other, and the LE Walker Transport Chevy was clipped from behind sending it into the wall and severely damaging the right front part of the car. "I think we had a good car, but we never really got enough laps to know for sure" said Stafford. "This has been such a frustrating weekend, these guys work so hard and we get caught in other people's troubles, I feel bad for them."
The crew has already begun preparing the cars for the CASCAR Super Series swing through Western Canada. The next two events will take place at Race City Motorsports Park in Calgary, and then onto Sun Valley Speedway in Vernon, BC.
