LaCross
Motorsports Finds Success at Talladega
Brent Cross'
Cortland based race team took their ARCA car to the
Talladega Superspeedway against some of the best ARCA and
NASCAR development drivers and came home with a 24th place
finish. The small team of friends and family were very
thrill to find that their car was able to run in the draft
and stay on the lead lap.
Since the
team qualified 33rd, it took awhile for Brent to get
through the traffic and ended up loosing the lead draft on
the original start. After get the "lucky dog"
award on the first caution, he found the car would keep up
in the draft on the restart. The team took advantage of a
couple of cautions to take on fuel and right side tires,
and by lap 50 they were ready to go the distance. At that
point they had worked their way up to 15th position.
Shortly after a caution for the big wreck, Brent radioed
in that he thought there was a right front tire going
flat. Forced to pit during a green flag, the team assessed
the situation to actually be a siezed left front wheel
bearing, ending the team's chance at a top 20 finish in
their first restrictor plate race.
Even
though the wheel bearing caused a DNF, the team spirits
were not dampened because of the realization of countless
hours of preparation resulted in a car that was good
enough to get compliments from other competitors and ARCA
officials. This was a huge accomplishment for the team of
upstate NY racers. The crew consists of Chuck Miller, Crew
Chief and the over-the-wall team of Aaron Cross, Eric
Bomboy, Todd Caufield, John Traphagen, Bob Cincotta, Wade
Camenga, and Matt Sheerin. Duane Canfield and Jim Caufield
worked from the spotters stands. Team LaCross Motorsports
is supported by Bestdeck Composite Decking, Quadraflex
Labels, Cummings Auto Machine, D2K Graphics, Hedger
Fabrications.
LaCross
Motorsports is planning for the next ARCA event at Pocono
Speedway on June 6, 2010. Anyone interested in
participating, please contact Brent Cross at 607-591-5556.
April
15th, 2010 LaCross
Motorsports Entered in ARCA at Talladega
Cortland NY based LaCross Motorsports is putting final
touches on their #28 superspeedway car in preparation for
next weekend’s ARCA 250 at the famous 2.66 mile
Talladega Superspeedway. Everyone is extremely excited
because the team has a guaranteed starting spot in the
field of 41 cars. That means they should get good TV
coverage for the 250 mile event to be televised live on
SPEED, on the same weekend as the NASCAR Sprint Cup event.
LaCross Motorsports has a fleet of ARCA/K&N Pro Series
cars that they have racing since 2004 at places like
Pocono Speedway, Kentucky Speedway, New Hampshire
Speedway, and testing at Daytona. The upcoming race will
be the team’s first try at the high banks of Talladega.
Team owner/driver Brent Cross is really proud of his small
team of friends and family, which is competing against
development teams fielded by some of the biggest
organizations in NASCAR. This is an opportunity to do
something that most local teams only dream about. The team
intends to use this event as a stepping stone to be able
to compete at Daytona next February.
Anyone interested in helping out the team in the garage,
at the track, or with financial support please contact
Brent at 607-591-5556.
