From team press release
Canadian driver Maryeve Dufault will make her first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards start in nearly two months when the green flag waives for Friday night’s Kansas Lottery 98.9 at Kansas Speedway.
Dufault last competed at Pocono Raceway in the Pennsylvania ARCA 125 where she bolted from her 27th place starting position to finish a commendable 13th earning her the Hard Charger Award.
The young lady returns to the cockpit for the final two races at Kansas Speedway and Toledo Speedway respectively where she intends to provide her team with another finish inside the top-10.
This weekend she will be driving the No. 12 Race Engines Plus/Dodge Motorsports/Tony Marks Racing Dodge Charge.
“I’m ready for Kansas,” said Dufault, who has since made her NASCAR Nationwide Series debut at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
“We had a good thing going at Pocono and despite the break in-between, I am really excited about climbing back behind the wheel of our No. 12 Dodge Charger and fight towards another top-10 finish.”
“We’re bringing fast racecars to the track,” Dufault added. “As a team, we skipped the dirt races all together and Jared (Marks) did a great job at Madison and Salem. Both of us tested this past weekend at Toledo Speedway to prepare for the season finale and I feel like we both are going to have really strong racecars. We’re all looking forward to the remaining two races and beyond.”
Dufault, in her off time has also packed her belongings and made the long trek from California to North Carolina where she now calls “home” in an effort to be closer to her team and marketing partners.
“I’m enjoying living in North Carolina,” Dufault said. “It’s a lot different than California, but I like the change. I’m able to spend a lot of time at the shop and hang with my team and racing friends even more now that I’m here near them. It’s been another step in the right direction.”
The Kansas Lottery 98.9 (99 laps/148.5 miles) is the 18th of 19 events on the 2011 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards schedule. The 11th ARCA event held at Kansas Speedway is a one-day show.
Practice begins Friday, October 7 with a two hour and 15 minute practice session planned from 9:00 a.m. -11:15 a.m. Menards Pole by Ansell qualifying is slated to begin later in the day at 5:35 p.m. The field will take the green flag approximately two hours later at 7:30 p.m.
