Montreal, Quebec - Tagliani Autosport announces a major move to Chevrolet for the 2015 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series. This comes following the team's new partnership with Gravel Auto.
"With our new partnership with Gravel Auto, it became essential that we switch to Chevrolet. This association will enable Gravel Auto's clientele the opportunity to order the TAG Signature aesthetic package or performance modification for their new or current cars. We are also pleased to announce that Canadian alloy wheel manufacturer Fast Wheels, has joined the Gravel Auto TAG Signature option program. As I will be in Indianapolis this weekend for Indy 500 qualifying, Tagliani Autosport has selected two-time DD2 Class Karting World Champion Pier-Luc Ouellette from Terrebonne, Quebec to drive the Team #18 EpiPen/CGI Chevrolet Impala for the 2015 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series season opener at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario," Tagliani said.
Tagliani's NCATS entry partners with and is the brand ambassador for Pfizer Canada Inc., the Canadian distributor of The EpiPen® epinephrine auto-injector. Alex himself lives and races with a severe allergy to nuts, and shares the allergy awareness/Pfizer/EpiPen message across Canada through his racing program.
