Canadian race car driver Patrick Carpentier last year said that the NASCAR Nationwide race in Montreal was to be his last professional race of his career. However, he changed his mind...
During last year's race, Carpentier was pushed off track by a rival and was forced into retirement. The Joliette, Quebec native was highly disappointed to retire on such a bad note.
However, his fans will be delighted to learn that Carpentier will be back in action one more time. It was announced Tuesday that he will contest in the NAPA Auto Parts 200 NASCAR Nationwide race at circuit Gilles Villeneuve next month.
The former Formula Atlantic champion and ChampCar driver will be driving the No. 99 Toyota Camry of Michael Waltrip Racing entered by RAB Racing and sponsored by NAPA Canada,
His crew chief will be the vastly experienced Scott Zipadelli.
