Trans Am Weekend of Thunder Full of Fast Paced Racing Action

Canada's Best Racing Team (CBRT) joined fellow Trans Am competitors this past weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP) for the Weekend of Thunder presented by MPT Industries. The TA2 class raced the MPT Twelve Lubricant & Penetrant 100 on Sunday with a total of 22 entries in the race.

In the driver's seat of the No. 83 Bulk Nation CBRT Ford Mustang was seasoned Trans Am driver, Steve Kent Jr., who calls NJMP his home track. Following fast testing the week before in Iowa, Kent was eager to get the CBRT Ford Mustang out on the 2.25 mile road course.

Kent was happy with handling and speed of the car during practice. He qualified in 4th position and spent the early part of the race defending that spot. A bit of shuffling during restarts caused Kent to fall back slightly, but the fast Ford Mustang picked up speed avoiding contact in the 38th lap causing several drivers to venture off track and lose position. Ultimately Kent finished the race in 6th position, making this CBRT's second top ten finish in the series.

"Overall it was a great race. We were running consistent times, and the car was fast. I'm happy with the results," said Kent.

Canada's Best Racing Team would like to thank their fans and partners, including Bulk Nation USA, for their ongoing support. The team will race again at Brainerd International Raceway in Brainerd, MN on July 5, 2015.
