August 7, 2005, Bowmanville, ON – MacLeod Racing team driver Tara MacLeod, in the Central Merchant Services entry, placed 17th at the high-speed, half-mile oval in the Mosport Speedway 200 Saturday night in Bowmanville, Ontario in the CASCAR Super Series.

“To be honest, I had hoped for a better finish in Mosport”, explained MacLeod. “The Central Merchant Services Team did a great job preparing the car and on pit stops, but I just couldn’t seem to get it going and we’ll be happy with the finish and move on.”

DJ Kennington won the Mosport Speedway 200 event followed by Don Thomson Jr. and Ron Beauchamp Jr. in third.
MacLeod currently leads the PowerWater CASCAR Super Series Rookie of the year standings, and is 13th in the 2005 CASCAR Super Series Points Championship.

The next CASCAR Super Series race will take place Sunday, August 14 at Cayuga Speedway located in Nelles Corners, Ontario on the 5/8th-mile oval.
