OAKVILLE, ON – Factory GM Corvette driver, Ron Fellows will kick of his 'day job' a little earlier than usual in 2005. Fellows has signed with Joe Nemechek to drive the #87 Chevy in this weekend's Busch race in Mexico City.
Fellows has three Busch wins to date – all at Watkins Glen – and he is looking for another strong run in Nemechek #87 Chevy.
"I have a pretty stout record in Busch," says Fellows. "Three wins, a second and I think a dnf. This deal is very last minute, and we've had no testing. That being said, I only would do a last minute deal like this with DEI or Nemechek."
Fellows is also planning on a busy Friday with the new rules that impound the cars after qualifying. "Friday we get limited practice and we try to get it set for the race, but we have to qualify with what we have."
Fellows has run part of the park circuit in Mexico before – he was on the pole there for a Trans-Am race in 1991.
You can catch Fellows live as the Busch race is scheduled for live network coverage on Sunday - check your local listings.
Speed Channel will cover qualifying live at 1:00 p.m. Saturday
