The Ancaster, Ontario Shop for Mid America Motorsports has been a busy place during the winter months for Team President Dave Didero and company.Plans are coming together for what will be a hectic but very stimulating racing program for 2005 in the CASCAR Super Series. “This year I want to devote myself full-time to racing” said Didero. “I’ve rearranged my life to allow me that opportunity, and I couldn’t be more excited.”
It will be a new look for the #42 Chevrolet Monte Carlo as they welcome aboard LE Walker Transport of St. Thomas, Ontario as the primary sponsor. LE Walker Transport was established in 1947 and currently boasts 200 trucks, employs more than 300 and generates revenue of approximately $40,000,000
Mid America Freight Systems will be back as an associate sponsor of the #42 Chevy and the team is also pleased to welcome Mobil 1 as an associate.
Piloting the LE Walker Transport Chevrolet for the full season will once again be Sean Stafford. Stafford has adapted nicely to the predominantly oval track venues on the CASCAR Super Series. “We sure had some struggles last year in the early season, but as things went on it all started coming together. We picked up a top ten finish at Peterborough and in the last two races at Delaware and Kawartha we gained a total of 36 positions. We’re going to carry that momentum into the start of this season.”
Joining the Mid America Motorsports family this year is Mark Swain. Swain got his feet wet in six Super Series events last year and is looking forward to more this season. “I had a good run at the Toronto Indy weekend. After starting 24th we battled and just missed the top ten winding up 11th.” I’m really pleased to be working with a guy like Dave Didero who knows so much about running a race team.
“There are some sponsorship issues with Mark that are out of our hands right now” said Didero “so we can only commit to a couple of races. However if cooler heads prevail we’ll have no problem running the full season”.
Stafford and Swain may not be the only competitors coming out of the Mid America Motorsports stable this season. “We’ve got another car that’s ready to race and we’re talking with some guys from the US that might be interested in running a race or two.”
CASCAR Super Series competition begins on the Victoria Day Weekend at Delaware Speedway just outside London, Ontario. This is the first event on the schedule that will see teams race literally from coast to coast. For more information on Mid America Motorsports and the CASCAR Super series log onto
