Tough Night For Theriault & Team GLOCK At Mansfield

Tough Night For  Theriault & Team GLOCK At Mansfield  

“Engine Failure  Erases Spraker Racing Enterprises Team From Competition�??  

MANSFIELD, Ohio  (Tuesday, August 28, 2007) - - NASCAR Busch East  Series 
(NBES) rookie Michelle Theriault headed to Mansfield Motorsports Park  this past 
weekend looking to maneuver her No. 37 GLOCK, Inc. Chevrolet Monte  Carlo into 
her third top-10 finish of the year. 
While never having  the opportunity to race in the NBES at Mansfield 
Motorsports Park (MMP),  Theriault was banking on her prior experience at the track in 
the United Speed  Alliance Racing (USAR) Hooter’s Pro Cup Series to play a 
role in NASCAR’s debut  at the mid-Ohio based track. 
With a one-day show  scheduled for the teams, the day got off to a quick 
start with two practice  sessions leading up to Busch pole qualifying. 
In the first  practice session of the day, Theriault clocked off a lap of 
17.370 seconds at  103.627 MPH, positioning the team 25th on the rundown.   
“The car is tight  for me,�?? said Theriault, the only full time female 
competitor in NASCAR. “We’re  looking for a good run tonight, so we’ll make some 
changes and see if we can put  our GLOCK, Inc. Chevrolet towards the front.�?? 
NASCAR opted to give  the teams a second practice session leading up to Busch 
pole qualifying. The  Spraker Racing Enterprises team took full of advantage 
of the opportunity.   
During the final  session or “Happy Hour,�?? the 21-year old driver posted a 
lap of 17.061 seconds  at 105.504 MPH which locked the team 24th on the overall 
 rundown. 
“We’re getting  better,�?? Theriault said. “The difference between a Busch 
East car and a Hooter’s  Pro Cup car is night and day. I’m being optimistic for 
qualifying and hope we  can produce a lap that will put us near the front. 
That’s the key here at  Mansfield -  staying near the front.�?? 
Heading into Busch  pole qualifying, Theriault looked to turn her fastest lap 
of the weekend. She  rose to the occasion and accomplished that. During her 
two lap trial run,  Theriault busted out a fast lap of 16.928 seconds at 
106.333 MPH, putting the  Connecticut  native 20th on the starting grid. 
“I qualified with  the fastest lap from the weekend,�?? offered Theriault. “
The guys on the Spraker  Racing Enterprises team did a good job improving the 
handling of the GLOCK, Inc.  Chevrolet. Patience is a virtue in racing. If we 
can keep everything in check,  we should have a good night.�?? 
During the race,  Theriault did not make much progress, but hovered inside 
the top-20. Sadly, the  engine expired on the lap 88 restart which put the team 
behind the wall and out  of The Mansfield 150.  
“It was another  tough night for Team GLOCK Racing,�?? said Theriault who 
finished 23rd.  “I really felt that we could have made a difference in the second 
half, but we  didn’t get that chance. We had a really good car; we just can’t 
seem to catch a  break right now.�?? 
“I know this isn’t  the run our sponsor GLOCK was looking for. We’re taking 
a few weeks break from  the NASCAR Busch East Series and we’ll go to Gateway 
this weekend with the ARCA  RE/MAX Series and see if we can bring in a good run.
