Brown Seeking To Rebound Following Season Opener Problems - Doug Brown and his NAPA/AUTOPRO team are heading for Autodrome St. Eustache this weekend seeking to rebound from the early season set back that befell them at Delaware Speedway on May 22nd. An oil pressure problem forced them out of that race after only 32 laps and dropped them to 29th place in the early season standings.
The Quebec race is the second event of the season in the CASCAR Super Series schedule and the first the team will compete in at the Montreal area oval in Super Series competition.
It is not, however an unfamiliar track to the Brantford-based team. In past seasons, Brown has had his share of success on the flat 4/10th-mile oval, including several top five finishes and a solid third place run in 2002 as a regular campaigner in CASCAR’s Sportsman Series.
Upwards of thirty cars are expected to contest the event marking the first return of the Super Series to the popular track since 2003. Because of the track’s low banking and tight racing action, chassis setup will be a key factor to ensure a good staring position in the 200-lap event and finishing is paramount to moving up a few spots in the standings. Tire wear is an issue the team is wary of having encountered problems in the past.
