INNISFIL, ON – Tara MacLeod is unable start the 2006 season due to lack of sponsorship funding, and the race car sits parked after her first year of CASCAR Super Series competition.
“We had a great season last year,” explained Tara. “Winning the rookie of the year championship was a dream come true and media exposure generated for our team, the series and stock car racing in general was extraordinary.”
MacLeod won the PowerWater CASCAR Super Series Rookie of the year championship, and finished 14th in the 2005 CASCAR Super Series Point Championship.
“It takes a considerable amount of financing to field one of these race teams,” added MacLeod. “Despite our team's success in 2005 we were unable to find the primary sponsorship needed to continue at this time.”
Under the team banner of MacLeod Racing, www.taramacleod.com, 33-year old Tara MacLeod has been a strong competitor on the Ontario short-tracks for the past 10 years, with several awards to her credit.
“It’s our goal to get out and run a partial CASCAR program this year and hope that we can return full time in ’07,” MacLeod added. “We are also researching other North American series that may be an option.”
MacLeod's Ford Taurus race cars were prepared by Micks Motorsports of Mt. Albert, Ontario, under the leadership of Kerry Micks, veteran CASCAR Super Series competitor.
