ANDREW RANGER HONOURED AS CHAMPION AT

CANADIAN TIRE SERIES AWARDS CEREMONY

            TORONTO (October 13, 2007) – Racing is not easy and winning a championship is even more difficult, but the hard work paid off for Andrew Ranger (No. 27 Wal-Mart/Tide Ford Fusion) Saturday night at the Hilton Toronto/Markham Conference Centre. He was honored as the 2007 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Sirius Satellite Radio champion at the season-ending awards banquet.

            The native of Roxton Pond, Quebec accomplished a couple of firsts by earning the title. He became the first-year Canadian Tire Series’ inaugural champion in his first year of stock car racing after having moved over from the open-wheel ranks last winter.

            The 20-year-old Ranger is not a stranger to success in a race car. He finished 10th overall in the CHAMP Car World Series standings for both the 2005 and 2006 seasons. Prior to that, he won a Fran-Am championship in 2003. Ranger’s championship earned him a starting spot in next week’s NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown, where he will represent the Canadian Tire Series.

            The Canadian Tire Series points lead had been held by Ranger since the season’s second race which he won, but it was hotly contested all season. He held off charges from no less than five drivers to take the title. The championship came down to the last race where Ranger and D.J. Kennington (No. 17 Castol Dodge Charger) entered separated by just 41 points. However, Kennington lost a motor during the event and conceded the title to the well-deserving and talented youngster.

            So this night belonged to Ranger and his entire team as they officially accepted the trophy while the driver collected the coveted NASCAR championship ring. Read Story HERE
