The 2011 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series got under way this past weekend with Mathews showing great speed. Only a week after the opening event at Mosport Speedway, the series head to the Montreal area to run Circuit ICAR, a road course at the Mirabel Airport, where Steve will make his anticipated road course debut.
Mathews, still a rookie in the series, is excited and ready to try his hand at road course racing. The 20 year old is no stranger to road courses as he has strong go-karting roots, and is confident he can apply his skill set to the three thousand pound stock cars.
During the offseason Mathews Motorsports was busy getting a new road course car built by McColl Racing Enterprises in London, Ontario. The new car still boasts a Ford Fusion body and the same paint scheme as the oval car.
After some pre-season testing and working out the bugs in the new car, Mathews became very comfortable and cannot wait to get a road course race under his belt. “The road course races attract many cars and some big name road course specialists, and at Mathews Motorsports we feel confident that we will be up to speed and competing in no time. Road course racing is new to the team, but with some good help, and great crew, and some experience we feel top five finishes are not out of reach.”
With five of the twelve scheduled races being on road courses, it is important to be successful and have a good road course program.
Steve Mathews and Mathews Motorsports are excited to officially announce they will be competing in the 2011 road course races in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series schedule and cannot wait to hit the track this weekend for the Grand Prix ICAR, the first series race at the new circuit.
