#60 RON BEAUCHAMP JR. HOMETOWN: Windsor, Ontario // BIRTHDATE: August 7, 1968
SPONSORS/MAKE: MOPAR / Expresslane / Mobil 1 / Exide / Cathcart Trucking – Dodge Challenger SRT
NOTABLE: Looking to build on his seventh place, overall result that featured just a single top-five finish (a fourth at Vernon) in 2011, Beauchamp has enlisted former ASA and ARCA crew chief Dion Deneau to head the on-track effort this year. Also added to the ros- ter of the Windsor-based team are a new tire carrier, a new tire changer and a new jack-man, all coming from the Roush Racing operation in the United States.
QUOTABLE: “We have a new attitude this year, and with Dion helping us, we are in a good place to start the season. The cars have all been refreshed; we’re ready to go. I think we can be in the top five every race, at least in the fight, and our goal is to win a race or two for our sponsors.”

#66 ROBIN BUCK HOMETOWN: Campbellville, Ontario // BIRTHDATE: December 10, 1959
SPONSORS/MAKE: Quaker State – Dodge Challenger SRT
NOTABLE: A previous winner on the CASCAR tour (Toronto/Van- couver), Buck has run a limited schedule over the past several years, focusing on his road racing program. Although he entered just five events in 2011, he recorded two race victories, at ICAR (Mirabel) and Trois Rivieres and added a pair of third place finishes to his record in Toronto and Montreal. Buck plans to repeat his ef- fort this year, running in all five road course events.
QUOTABLE: “We’ve spent a lot of time on tweaking the things we didn’t get to last year. I’m confident that the car is capable of win- ning every time out, and I’d like to perform as well as we did last year. I think Edmonton is the race I’m looking forward to the most, it will be great to get back there.”
#69 TREVOR SEIBERT HOMETOWN: Williams Lake, British Columbia // BIRTHDATE: March 4, 1967
SPONSORS/MAKE: Lake Excavating Motorsports / EMCO Water Works – Dodge Avenger
NOTABLE: After starting his career on ovals, Seibert switched to road racing before returning to his roots in the NASCAR series and scored a career best, third-place finish at the Grand Prix of Trois Rivieres in 2007. In 2011, Seibert made three starts, on the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and Circuit Gilles Villeneuve road courses, and on the oval at Motoplex Speedway. His best result of the season was an 11th in Montreal. Trevor will shadow his son Ryley’s program this year, running races at Vernon, Edmonton, Saskatchewan, Montreal and Trois-Rivieres. Seibert Sr. will have a new DJ Kennington-built car for the Motoplex and Auto Clearing Motor Speedway oval races.
QUOTABLE: “I don’t have the time to run any more races and do them right. I’d still like to get a win in this series before I quit, but my main goal now is to get Ryley up to speed and ready for a full challenge in the next few years.”
