WHITLOCK STRUGGLES WITH ILL
HANDLING CAR IN A & W 300
Vernon, British Columbia (Sunday July 19, 2009): It was a challenging night to say the least for the No. 39 Dickies/NMT/Prostate Cancer Canada/POINTTS Dodge Avenger. The car was a handful all night long until a late race pit stop for four new Goodyear tires and some adjustments got it to a point where Whitlock could muscle it around the corners and after 300 laps the result was a tenth place finish. The No. 39 driver qualified the Dickies Dodge in the eighth starting position in race number five of the thirteen race NASCAR Canadian Tire Series schedule and he battled hard to finish in the top ten. |
“We have run here fairly decent in the past,” stated Whitlock after the race. “It was just a handful all night long – really loose. We made a couple of adjustments but with only a few cautions there wasn’t much chance to make it better.” Andrew Ranger posted his first oval track win with Scott Steckly close behind in second. Ron Beauchamp Jr., D. J. Kennington and Kerry Micks rounded out the rest of the top five. Dave Whitlock and his No. 39 Whitlock Motorsports/Dickies/NMT for event two of the three race Western swing next weekend at the Edmonton Rexall Indy. TSN will broadcast the A& W 300 from Sun Valley Speedway in Vernon British Columbia on Sunday August 2 at 12 noon EST. Check local listings for times in your area.
