INNISFIL, ON – Tara MacLeod, driver of the Central Merchant Services Ford, and Rookie of the Year contender in the CASCAR Super Series, has signed Damon "Dynamite" Sharpe as her crew chief.
"Dynamite has a great deal of experience and is a tremendous asset to our team," stated MacLeod, who will be competing in her first year in the national stock car series.
Sharpe is very familiar with the cars and the equipment, as he was crew chief for Kerry Micks, driver of the PowerWater Ford, until stepping back to concentrate on his growing real estate business. Micks Motorsports is supplying and preparing the cars for MacLeod Racing this season.
"I'm glad I was able to talk him out of retirement," smiled MacLeod. "He's too good to give it up just yet. "I'm excited and looking forward to this season," explained Dynamite. "The deal is for race weekends only, no shop time which allows me to concentrate on my business. It's a good move for both of us."
The MacLeod team is relatively an inexperienced crew in terms of CASCAR competition and are looking forward to the leadership and knowledge Sharpe can bring to the team.
"Should be a great summer, I can't wait to get that Central Merchant Services Ford to the track" stated MacLeod.
MacLeod’s Ford Taurus race cars are being prepared by Micks Motorsports of Mt. Albert, Ontario, under the leadership of Kerry Micks, veteran CASCAR Super Series competitor known as “The Iron Man."
Under the team banner of MacLeod Racing, www.taramacleod.com, 32-year old Tara has been a strong competitor on the Ontario short-tracks for the past 10 years, with several awards to her credit. She has always wanted to step up her racing career, and is very enthused about competing in the entire coast-to-coast 12-race CASCAR Super Series, www.cascar.com, and 2005 will mark her first year in CASCAR.
