MacDonald
Motorsports & Robert Grimm Racing, LLC Join Forces for 2008 Camping
World Series
After months of preparation,
MacDonald Motorsports and Robert Grimm Racing, LLC are excited to announce
their plans for 2008 season in the NASCAR Camping World Series.
MacDonald Motorsports with Eddie MacDonald and Rollie Lachance will be
combining forces with Robert Grimm Racing (RGR) for the 2008 Camping World
Series season. They will be fielding the #71 Chevy Monte Carlos of Robert
Grimm Racing (RGR) full time under the East Series banner. MacDonald as
driver, Lachance as crew chief and Grimm as car owner.
MacDonald's success in 2007 includes his season debut at Stafford Motor
Speedway in Victory Lane and the top 5 finish at the 2007 All-Star Showdown
in Irwindale, CA. MacDonald Motorsports will be parking their #48 for the
#71 full time ride with RGR.
"I had a good season in 2007 running part time in the #48 and part time in
the #71 for Rob (Grimm) but this opportunity to run full time for Rob and
still with Rollie as my crew chief was too good to pass up", stated
MacDonald.
"Rob has been busy the past few months getting us really good competitive
equipment for the'08 season. Combining teams is something that Eddie and I
are really looking forward to", continued Lachance.
Lachance has been MacDonald's crew chief for the past three years in the
NASCAR Camping World Series (formally the Busch East Series) and together
they have two wins during that time.
Robert Grimm Racing entered the NASCAR Camping World Series arena in 2007
having MacDonald driving select races in his #71 Grimm Construction
Chevrolet. His best finish in the #71 was 5th at Adirondack Speedway.
"Last year I was learning about this series and with the help of Eddie and
Rollie, I decided I wanted to do it full time in 2008. Those guys (Rollie
and Eddie) have proven they can get it done with a limited budget. I'm
looking to make it easier for them to get it done more often with more
equipment at their disposal", reports Grimm.
"I'm looking forward to becoming a full time car owner in 2008. We are
concentrating hard on preparing for the upcoming season with competitive
equipment, personnel and sponsorship inquiries", continued Grimm. |
