Antelope, CA – Now embarking on their 21st year with BMR, NAPA AUTO PARTS, the primary sponsor on the No. 20 NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota Camry, amassing over 40 wins including winning the inaugural NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown and five NASCAR K&N Pro Series Championships, the familiar blue and yellow NAPA entry will once again be piloted by three-time series champion, Eric Holmes. Together BMR, NAPA and Holmes are sure to be a force as they aggressively defend their 2010 NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Championship.
Hasa Pool Products with three-time most popular driver Moses Smith in the No. 16 Hasa Pool Products Toyota Camry finished 4th in the 2010 chase for the series championship. Now with four full-time seasons in the NASCAR K&N Pro West Series, BMR and Smith looks to give race partner Hasa their first win and contend for the 2011 series championship.
The driver of the No.12 Toyota Camry from the BMR stables as yet to be finalized. The team from BMR who finished third in the series 2010 championship is without a full-time driver as Paulie Harraka is excited about his opportunities to move up the ladder to one of the NASCAR National Touring Series. BMR returns with a strong lineup of personnel and a lot of newly acquired race cars from Michael Waltrip Racing and Rusty Wallace Racing that will give them the arsenal to defend their 2010 title and work to earn a sixth NASCAR K&N Pro Series West championship. It also marks the team’s fourth year with Toyota and fifth year with Hasa Pool Products. NAPA will sponsor five of the series races this season.
With a new and stronger schedule for 2011, the series will be heading to some new markets and returning to some not visited in recent years. The schedule includes returns to the Seattle market with a race at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington and the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Las Vegas, Nevada. The schedule includes Colorado National Speedway, All American Speedway in Roseville, California, Infineon and Portland International Raceway. Back on the schedule is a race at Spokane County Raceway – a .5-mile track that was last visited by the series in 1979. The teams will visit 12 race venues in nine states as series celebrates its 58th season as the oldest stock car racing circuit in the West.
The 2011 NASCAR K&N Pro Series West season will kick off at Phoenix International Raceway on February 24th. The two scheduled races at PIR will run in conjunction with the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
BMR is proud to continue its driver development program by adding Jaimie Krysik, 20, to our roster. Krysik will race 10 races in the NASCAR Whelen Late Model Series. This young driver from Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada is the 2010 IMCA Canadian National Champion.
