McKeefery set for return to NASCAR
Camping World Series West at Roseville

 

Milpitas, Calif. – 22 year-old Martin McKeefery
will return to the NASCAR Camping World Series, driving the #09 Chevrolet for
Dick Midgley at All American Speedway in Roseville, Calif. in the “Copart 150�??.

 

McKeefery
made his series debut at the speedway last September, earning a finish of 11th
place after running as high as fifth. 

 

The
former Supermodified and Legends champion came into last season’s event with no
stockcar experience. His primary engine broke in the pits, and the team missed
the entire practice session replacing it. 

 

Despite
zero laps on the car, McKeefery qualified 20th, and quickly navigated through
the field to fifth place. A spin on the final lap gave McKeefery an 11th place
finish in his stockcar debut.

 

For the
2009 edition of this race, the expectations are much greater. McKeefery will be
driving a new car with a one race old spec engine under the hood. 

 

“There’s
quite a bit more pressure this time around with a podium quality car,�??
McKeefery said. “Dick has been working really hard building a top notch
racecar.�??

 

McKeefery
has taken advantage of the downtime this season due to sponsorship woes to work
for Trinity Racing, developing racing simulators based on the new simulation
program iRacing.

 

“I
started filling my life with other projects while we looked for sponsorship,�??
McKeefery said. “I’ve been getting some seat time in the Late Model simulator
and this race is definitely an investment towards our 2010 goals.�??

 

Trinity
Racing Concept will have two high performance racing simulators on the midway
for race fans and drivers to test drive. Jack Ulstad, owner of TRC is welcoming
race drivers and fans to compete for quick time and bragging rights!

 

McKeefery
will also be racing in support of the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army
operates in 118 countries and provides services in 175 different languages. It
is one of the world's largest providers of social aid, helping more than 32
million people in the US alone. Services include emergency
disaster support, family services, rehabilitation and recovery.

 

Racing
for the “Toyota Copart 150 presented by Golden State Steel and Stair�?? will
commence on Saturday September 16 at 8 p.m. Time trails will take place at 5 p.m. For more information on the race
