Randy Lajoie and
Vision Racing Unite For
Kansas Busch Series Event
Tulsa, Ok. (September 22, 2006) - - Adrian Berryhill, team owner of
Vision Racing, announced today the signing of former NASCAR Busch Series
champion Randy Lajoie to drive his No. 37 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in a
one-race deal next Saturday at Kansas Speedway in the Yellow Transportation
300.
Lajoie,
a two-time NBS champion in 1996 and 1997 will assist Vision Racing in
various elements as the team tries to make a concrete platform in the
NASCAR Busch Series.
“We’re very excited to have Randy join us for Kansas,”
said Berryhill, who advanced his team from the ARCA RE/MAX Series earlier
this month. “Randy Lajoie is a face that everyone knows and a
name that speaks for itself. I feel that by having a veteran in our
racecar, he can only steer us in the right direction as we plan to make
our mark in this series.”
Berryhill continued, “Randy knows everything there is to know
about the cars and the series. He is a champion. He is a champion to
our sponsors next weekend and we feel that he can put our car upfront
and give us some much-needed exposure. This is an awesome opportunity
for our young and vibrant race team and I think this is the first of
great things to come.”
Lajoie has two prior starts at Kansas Speedway occurring in 2001 and
2002. His best finish came in 2002 where he crossed the line 17th after
starting 18th.
“I’m looking forward to driving for Vision Racing at Kansas,”
said Lajoie. “If their vision is as good as mine, I think we can
have a good weekend.”
“Randy has the experience on the track at Kansas and that will
help us,” Berryhill explained. “He has run well there and
is a contender on the mile and a half tracks and I plan to give him
everything I can so he can get the job done.”
Vision Racing attempted to make their NBS debut a few weeks ago at Richmond.
After a gallant effort, the team just missed the show with rookie driver
Josh Krug. “We came a long way in a short time at Richmond,”
recalled Berryhill, who will serve as the crew chief at Kansas. “We
started off in the wrong direction, but by the end of qualifying, we
came up just a little short. I’m proud of the gains we made at
the track; we’re ready to move on.”
Krug, who has made quite an impression in the ARCA RE/MAX Series the
past two seasons is still with Vision Racing but is unable to run next
weekend’s event because of the approval process in NASCAR. “Josh
isn’t approved to run the bigger tracks yet, but we wanted to
run Kansas so we looked at our options and knew Randy Lajoie was the
best fit for this additional race,” Berryhill explained.
The team will roll out a Chevrolet Monte Carlo recently purchased from
Doug Stringer formally of Akins Motorsports, but now currently partnered
with Todd Braun of Braun Racing. Pro Motor Engineering (pme) will supply
the horsepower at Kansas. “We have stout equipment. Both of the
operations that we have purchased our equipment have proven themselves
as winners in the NASCAR Busch Series, that’s good for us. Our
entire team deserves to have the best equipment possible and I think
we’ve done a good job in that department,” added Berryhill.
Backing the team’s primary effort is Americash
Advance.com. Americash
Advance. com is a leader in the small loan cash advance industry
that provides loans to consumers through direct deposit into the consumers
bank account within one business day all from the comfort of their home
or office. It is a great service to consumers who are in the need for
quick cash up to $1500. The funds can literally be sent to the consumers
account within 30 minutes of making the application with Americash
Advance.com. This could be real handy for the race fan that has
spent all their cash at the races over the weekend. Meeks
Lithograph is excited about the additional exposure for the printing
giant that has accounts such as Arbys, Hilti and Quiktrip.
“Americash Advance has been with Vision Racing since their inception
and we’re looking forward to having them on board at Kansas, Berryhill
noted. “ We’re looking for a strong run at our home track
and I think the key elements are in piece in order to make that happen.”
Meeks and Henry Primeaux Kia
will serve as associate sponsors on the No. 37 also at Kansas. “It’s
an honor for us to carry the Meeks and Henry Primeaux Kia colors next
weekend. Both of them have moved up from our ARCA program to our new
endeavor in NASCAR. Our sponsors are committed to us in Kansas and we’re
looking forward to working with them for a long time to come.”
