NASCAR Veteran Aramendia Leading Late Models At Houston

A NASCAR racing veteran from Texas is determined to contend for the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series championship at a first-year Texas track this season.

Joe Aramendia, 46, of San Antonio, Tex., is the current NASCAR Fiesta Pro Late Model division at the beautiful Houston Motorsports Park. The .375-mile banked paved D-shaped oval featuring concrete surfaces in the turns joined the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series this year.

Borneman slates busy weekend

Johnny Borneman has busy plans for his Fourth of July holiday this year – with travel, visiting the beach and a couple of stock car races.

The beach he is visiting is actually Daytona Beach, Fla., where Borneman will attempt to qualify for Friday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway. He then plans to fly from the East Coast to the West Coast to compete in a NASCAR Camping World Series West race on Saturday at Toyota Speedway at Irwindale, Calif.

News & Notes: Myers Ready To Visit Victory Lane At Caraway

Burt Myers (No. 1 Capital Bank Ford) is no stranger to success in the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour. In fact, Myers is no stranger to success in any type of race car. That’s why it seems a little unusual for the Walnut Cove, N.C., driver to not have a win in 2009. But then again, there have been only four races thus far and Myers is ready to be heard from as the season gets back underway this Friday night at Caraway Speedway.

Opportunity Knocks

Last October, Phil Dugan was headed to the annual Drive for Diversity Testing & Evaluation Combine presented by Sunoco not knowing what to expect; what would the competition be like, which team owners would be in attendance, and more importantly, what would those team owners think of him?

Dugan, who is of Korean descent, had learned about the Drive for Diversity initiative a year earlier, but had waited to apply until he was confident he had the application package that would earn him an invitation to the Combine.

Competition Starting To Heat Up

As the calendar is set to turn to July, the competition in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series has already started to heat up across North America.

Ruckersville, Va., driver Philip Morris is chasing history as he looks to become just the second driver to win back-to-back NASCAR Whelen All-American Series national championships. While Morris is off to a strong start – seven wins and 13 top fives in 16 starts and is second in points as the racing season hits the unofficial halfway point, challengers are abundant and come from all over the map.

News & Notes: Out Front At Home

In last year’s chase for the championship in the NASCAR Camping World Series West, Jason Bowles (No. 6 Sunrise Ford.com Ford) gained a lot of momentum when he followed up a win at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., with a victory at his home track of Toyota Speedway at Irwindale (Calif.). He hopes to do the same thing again this year.
