NASCAR: Andrew Ranger back in St-Eustache

By ,

Two-time NASCAR Canadian Tire series champion Andrew Ranger will be back on home soil this week-end as he will take part in the NCTS National 250 at Autodrome St Eustache.

It has been pretty busy for the 23-year-old driver who has been crisscrossing two countries this summer to take part in the Canadian Tire series and both K&N East and West series.

While his management team was scrambling looking for a new deal in Canada, after loosing his main sponsors, seemingly out of nowhere came an offer from car owner Robert Torriere to take the reins of his No.35 Waste Management Chevrolet.

His series debut at Iowa Speedway was less than impressive, but he rebounded for a fifth-place effort at Martinsville Speedway which set the stage for an outing at the Infineon Raceway, K&N West event.

He out-dueled two-time Infineon winner Jason Bowles and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regular David Gilliland for his first victory on U.S. soil before finishing runner-up at Mosport a couple of weeks ago.

Ranger just competed at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where he finished ninth, and will get further chances to impress top NASCAR teams in Montreal and at Dover International Speedway in Delaware later in the season.

Saturday, July 3, will be an interesting day for Ranger. He will race at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville in the afternoon and then try to make his way to Autodrome St. Eustache, his adopted home track, for the National 250.
