prestigious new series
SHAKESPEARE, ONTARIO (February 23, 2008) - The recent announcement of the Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts has T.J. Schippling very excited. Schippling and his Lucas Oil/Dixie Chopper team are committed to the new Ontario-based series.
“I really can’t wait to start racing,” exclaimed Schippling. “I am very grateful to NAPA and everyone behind the series for making this a reality.
“The timing is perfect,” he continued. “This new series will provide us with an excellent platform to represent all the fine companies associated with our team. It’s our fifth year with Lucas Oil Canada. We have new marketing partners joining our team and I can’t think of a better value to them.”
The Lucas Oil/Dixie Chopper dragster that Schippling has driven to so much success over the past few years will remain unchanged for the upcoming season. The Schippling Motorsports team is working with Marc McCrae and DRAGSTAR to debut a new dragster later in the year.
“The car Marc is building is going to be very trick,” said Schippling. “We are going to have several cool things surrounding this new car. We have a number of companies involved, and some promotions that will be released shortly.
“This series has created an opportunity to invest more in our program and it is essential we continue to be fast and competitive. I can’t thank the PMRA and NAPA enough.”
