With three road courses victories already in hand at Mosport, Edmonton and Trois-Rivieres, Andrew Ranger is coming to Montreal aiming to pull off the unlikeliest of feats - a win in each of the four road-course events on the 2009 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series schedule.
In his championship season of 2007, the 22-year’s old driver won just a single race but his title was cemented by runner-up finishes in each of the other three road races and holding his own in the eight contests on oval tracks.
This season with two oval wins already under his belt, his dominance on the road courses is even more profound. No longer can the short-track racers count on making up ground on the oval tracks.
Ranger is a much more complete driver than he was just two years ago. With four wins in the last five series events, he has built a 124-point lead on DJ Kennington in the points standings.
The native of Roxton Pond, Quebec now hold the record for the series career wins mark with eight.
