The 01 Team is Back From Canadian Motorsports Expo

By Harvey Hubb - January 30, 2010

Last weekend was a big one for the Chris Raabe race team.  From set up on Thursday and the Canadian Motorsports Expo show Friday to Sunday, to re-set up at Kingston RV on Monday, there was a lot of work and not much rest and relaxation, but according to Chris Raabe, it was well worth it.

“Our goal was to get some much needed awareness for our race program in Toronto at the Motorsports Expo and that is what I know we got.  A lot of the current NASCAR Canadian Tire Series drivers came to our booth and said they are looking forward to having us in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.  We learned a lot from both the NASCAR series tech guys and the series head man in Brad Moran. They encouraged us to get our team and cars together in time for the series test day in May and that will let us and them know each other in person”.

The team booth was one of the best at the show with Dave and Donny Raabe doing the design and graphics on all the aspects of the booth.  It looked fantastic (check out pictures).

Also, Chris was honored Saturday night with the Inside Track Magazine “Canadian Dirt Driver of the year for 2009”.  Chris beat out Mr. Small Block Pete Bicknell in the voting 41% to 24%.  It was the icing on the cake for “The Teenage Tornado” for 2009 after setting more records for becoming the youngest DIRTcar driver to ever win back-to-back Mr. DIRTcar championships and 10 overall championships in just 2 years.

After packing the dirt and pavement cars up in Toronto, they were brought back to Kingston and put on display at Kingston RV in the cul-de-sac on O’Connor Drive.  You can visit the cars there for the next couple of weeks. Check out the pictures from Toronto.

February will be a very big month for us in the 01 race team and I will be hooking up with Garry McColman in the next couple of days for an announcement about sponsorship for the NCTS for 2010.
