Reed Sorenson, caught in a battle to the finish with Elliott Sadler for the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series drivers’ title, has confirmed that he will compete in the NAPA Auto Parts 200 Presented by Dodge in Montreal, August 19-20.
The eight-year NASCAR series veteran will be discovering the Gilles-Villeneuve road circuit at the wheel of his Turner Racing No. 32 Chevrolet.
"Since I've never been to Montreal, I am quite intrigued by what I am going to discover," Sorensen said.
"The only track time I have experienced at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve was when I played the Formula 1 game on my Playstation. That is all I know even though in NASCAR, it will be a different game. After talking to a few drivers, I realized half the field likes the track and the other half has a hard time figuring it out."
Following the July 1st Daytona race, twenty-five year-old Sorenson had competed 148 NASCAR Nationwide races since 2005. His record shows four wins, 38 top-5, and 79 top-10 finishes including two poles. The Georgia resident had also competed 161 NASCAR Sprint Cup races.
Following this year's first 17 events, he recorded a win at Road America in June, eight top-5 and 12 top-10 finishes. The standings showed Sorenson in first with a nine-point lead over Sadler.
