(August 13, 2010)-This weekend's event at New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP) marks the second visit to a road course for the ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards Series this season, and the road racing run couldn't have come at a better time for Tim George Jr. Though the Garden State ARCA 150 presented by American Red Cross will mark his second run in a stock car on the road course at NJMP, his past success at the track proves George as one of the top contenders. For Sunday's 150-mile/67-lap event, George will be behind the wheel of the No.31 Richard Childress Racing Development Chevrolet for RCR. Matching up to the top competitors in road racing, George has an ample amount of road racing experience. He's run on numerous road courses in not only the ARCA Racing Series, but also in the Grand Am Rolex GT Series and earlier this season debuting in NASCAR Nationwide Series at Road America. Last season George made his stock car debut at the road course, starting 31st after he was unable to qualify as the result of an accident during the final practice session. He went on to score his 2009 season-best finish, fifth place, on the 2.3-mile road course at NJMP. The now second year full-time ARCA Racing Series veteran, George knows his way around the New Jersey road course. With a background in road racing, he competed at New Jersey Motorsports Park in 2008 while in the Grand-Am Rolex GT Series, and took home the victory with then teammate Andy Lally. "New Jersey Motorsports Park is a great place," said George. "I competed in one of the first races there with the Rolex Series, where our team won in 2008. Last year, the ARCA Racing Series race was good as well, and I came home fifth. After the rain at West Palm Beach this year, I'm hoping to have a good shot at a road course win." Not only is New Jersey Motorsports Park the site of the 2008 Grand Am Rolex GT Series Rookie of the Year's first victory, but it also the New York native's home track. Though disappointed with the past few ARCA Racing Series finishes, George can reflect on the season positively. To date this season, he has scored career-best finishes, but this weekend the 29-year-old heads to New Jersey with confidence. Fans attending the New Jersey Motorsports Park race can meet the RCR development driver before the start of the Garden State ARCA 150. Fans will have a half hour to attend the ARCA Racing Series Driver Autograph Session on Sunday, August 14 at 11:45 a.m. EST. George will climb behind the wheel of the No. 31 Chevrolet at New Jersey Motorsports Park on Saturday for two practice sessions starting at 11:15 AM EST, followed by Menards Pole Qualifying Presented by Ansell (all positions) at 4:30 PM EST. The Garden State ARCA 150 presented by American Red Cross is set for Sunday, August 14 at 1:00 PM EST. ###### ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About Tim George Jr. The New York, N.Y., native began racing in the Skip Barber Racing School regional series in 2005.
