REITENOUR SELECTED AS DEVELOPMENTAL DRIVER
November 1, 2007
Megan Reitenour, 16, of Miamisburg, Ohio, has been selected as a developmental driver for Nesbitt Racing Enterprises, Inc. (NRE). She will race in a new series that travels to six different racetracks in three different states.
Joe Schmaling, owner of Start to Finish Racing Productions, a former crew member for Harry Gant Racing in the Winston Cup Series, and a USAR Hooter's Pro Cup Official, was instrumental in introducing Megan to Mart Nesbitt of NRE and their reputation as a well-established race team with an excellent race record in the Hooters Pro Cup Series.
Megan tested the car in late July 2007 and was recently selected to fill the position previously held by Michelle Theriault before she moved up to the ARCA Remax Series. Megan raced a 600-horse power Pontiac Grand Prix at Tri-County Speedway just outside of Asheville, North Carolina on Oct 27, 2007. These cars turn faster lap times than the NASCAR Craftsman Trucks at tracks like Tri-County Speedway.
After leading 36 laps of the 50-lap event, Reitenour commented, "I still have a lot to learn about the car and I'm glad to get the experience. This car is a lot heavier than what I'm used to racing and the track had changed a lot between practice and the start of the race. I learn so much every time I get into the car and Im so thankful and excited for the opportunity. I want to thank Mr. Nesbitt and his team, Joe Schmaling, and my sponsors, Horn & Hardart Coffee, Fat Headz Eyewear, Business Management Services, Corporate Marketing, Kathryn Raaker, Debbie Burkhardt and Ameriprise Financial."
Mr. Nesbitt said, "We were very impressed with Megans drive and her desire to get the most out of her car. She had an excellent performance at Tri-County Speedway. She gained a great deal of respect from the other racers and people in attendance. As our developmental driver, we look forward to continuing to work with her in the future."
