For the second time this season, on Saturday, September 6th, the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series will make as stop at the Barrie Speedway tri-oval to run its 11th round of the championship.
Currently second in the overall standings, a little over 60 points behind the leader Scott Steckly, Andrew Ranger, at the wheel of the #27 Tide / Wal-Mart car, is heading into the last races of the year ready for a tough battle. Andrew, with two wins and two podiums in the last five races, the Pizza Pizza 300 could be significant for him for the championship battle ahead. It is even more important as the Barrie Speedway seems to suit Andrew Ranger.
Having qualified in 16th place in 2007, during his first visit to this track, he managed to climb the order, by driving a brilliant race and finished in 5th position. More recently, on June 28th, during the third round of the present season, Andrew Ranger started third to cross the finish line in sixth place also having led about 30 laps. “I am really looking forward to Saturday. I really like racing on that layout as it is different to the traditional ovals. If I get here with a car that is well set-up like it was in the last few races, then I could get even closer to the championship lead and fight for the title. That is what I am aiming for anyways.”
The #7 Ubisoft / Wal-Mart car will be driven for the second time by the young Ontarian, Peter Shepherd.
With three events to go until the end of the season, everything is open for Andrew Ranger who is aiming for another championship title. Each race will be hard fought until September 27th, when the championship ends. Do not miss the Pizza Pizza 300 at Barrie Speedway on Saturday, September 6th!
