Carter-2-Motorsports Adds NASCAR Nextel Cup Series To Its Busy 2007 Racing
Schedule
"Never Too Early To Begin Thinking Of 2008 Racing Season"
STATESVILLE, North Carolina (January 11, 2006) - - Carter-2-Motorsports,
a new full time professional race team set to launch a championship
effort in the ARCA RE/MAX Series this season announced today the team has
extended their busy schedule by planning to compete in at least four
NASCAR Nextel Cup (NNC) series races towards the end of the season.
Roger Carter, II who is running for Rookie-of-the-Year honors in the ARS
(ARCA RE/MAX Series) plans to utilize the No. 54 Dodge Charger in Cup
competition with primary backing from Isaiah10.com
The team's first attempt will come in September at New Hampshire
International Speedway, followed by Kansas Speedway (September), Lowes
Motor Speedway (October) followed by the team's 2007 season finale at
Atlanta Motor Speedway on October 28th.
"We are very excited about our plans to compete in the NASCAR Nextel
Cup Series this season," said Carter II. "Carter-2-Motorsports
will have a busy year by running two teams in the ARCA RE/MAX Series
while preparing to make a lasting impression in the premiere series of
NASCAR."
He continued, "The NASCAR Nextel Cup series is no easy task. It's
not like you can purchase a racecar and motor and head to the track.
Everything has to be perfect. You have to be on top of your game before
you even unload in the garage. We are going to take advantage of our
tenure in the ARCA series to prepare us for our next endeavor (Nextel
Cup). Our sponsors wanted to test the waters in NASCAR this season and
they agreed the four races that we have chosen will be a benefit to
everyone involved with our operation."
In addition to Isaiah10.com, C2M (Carter-2-Motorsports) will also carry
associate sponsorship from The Idaho Observer, RvRentToGo.com and
100Fold.net. The team is also in negotiations with additional potential
sponsors to join their effort.
Dan Collins will assume the duties of crew chief in the team's Nextel
Cup Series efforts. Michael Mizzelle leaps aboard as well from the ARCA
program to take the reins as car chief.
"I have a strong and dedicated crew. We know we are up against a lot
this season. We're basically running two fulltime ARCA RE/MAX Series
operations and now we're flirting with the NNC series to help us set
a foundation for 2008 and beyond, we're going to be fine, I know
it."
"Our sponsors have been very instrumental in our plans to expand our
effort this season but also already take a look at 2008. We are hoping
that our inaugural full time season in the ARCA RE/MAX Series and our
limited effort in the Nextel Cup will be a positive experience for
everyone involved," Carter, II concluded.
In addition to running a full schedule with Carter, II, C2M will also
field an entry for NASCAR driver Nick Tucker who will run several ARCA
RE/MAX Series events in the No. 67 Dodge. Tucker has five NASCAR
Craftsman Truck Series starts to his credit with a career best finish of
20th at Martinsville Speedway in 2004.
Members of the Carter-2-Motorsports team will also attend
NASCAR-sanctioned events during their off weekends in ARCA to explore and
communicate with their peers in an effort to help aid their rookie
program.
