ERIC BEERS JOINS
DELANGE RACING IN 2009 |
DeLange Racing of Lockport, New York is proud to announce that Eric Beers of
Northampton, Pennsylvania will be the team's driver in 2009. Beers replaces
Erick Rudolph of Ransomville, who has decided to broaden his racing program
in the upcoming season. Beers is an established, successful Modified racer
who currently drives for car owner Bob Katon, Jr. and the Berkley Auto
Racing team on the NASCAR Modified Tour. Beers will race the DeLange Racing
#45 Modified in a limited schedule of local and regional events in the
Northeast. The exact list of races is yet to be determined.
Team owner Dave DeLange recognizes the success his team has
celebrated with talented teenager Rudolph and his family team. "We have
enjoyed considerable progress and achievement over the last four years with
Erick and his family. We are proud to have played a part in his career
growth and success. His family team has chosen to adopt a different
philosophy in 2009. As a result, we have decided to go in another direction
with a new driver. We wish Erick and his family team continued success in
2009 and beyond."
Beers and his crew will maintain the DeLange Modified from their shop in
Northampton. They will transport the car to the racetrack and service the
car as the pit crew at each race. The Beers team has accrued several years
of experience while servicing the Beers Motorsports #9 Modified at various
tracks on the east coast with a proven record of success.
Dave DeLange sees the change in drivers as a positive realignment
for his team. "We are pleased to have Eric Beers join us this season as the
driver of the #45 Modified. His talent as a racer is obvious when you look
at his career accomplishments. Having a proven winning driver of his caliber
and experience is a huge step in the right direction as we move down a new
path."
Beers will continue to pilot the #46 Modified for Katon on the full
2009 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour schedule. DeLange Racing will focus on a
local/regional schedule of races in the upcoming season. The exact list of
events is yet to be determined as the team awaits the various tracks and
series to announce their 2009 plans. Beers is energized with this new
opportunity.
"I'm very excited to team up with Dave DeLange and his team," notes
Beers. "He is a very dedicated racer and that's what I am all about. He will
provide us with top-notch equipment wherever we race and I know we will be a
threat to win at any event we attend. I can't wait to get started."
The 2009 team schedule will be announced shortly as the tracks
announce their schedules for the upcoming season. Stay tuned! It will be an
exciting new path for DeLange Racing.
