FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Frenchman Michel Disdier
Moves One Step Closer to
His American Dream
SALEM, Indiana
(4-15-08)--Michel
Disdier made his ARCA
RE/MAX debut at Salem
Speedway on Sunday with
an impressive 13th
place finish. Disdier
stated before the race,
“I want to finish and
finish well.” Mission
accomplished.
After a successful test
at the Toledo Speedway
last Thursday, Disdier
and the Jack Bowsher &
Associates Motorsports
team was anxious to take
the green in Sunday’s
Kentuckiana Ford Dealers
200 by Federated Auto
Parts.
Mother Nature was not
cooperating with the
teams on Sunday morning
at Salem Speedway. A
long awaited break in
the weather allowed ARCA
to drop the green flag
two hours after the
original start time.
Strapped into the famed
No. 21 Jack Bowsher &
Associates Motorsports
Ford in the 24th
starting spot, Disdier
was eager to learn the
ropes of a tough short
track. After starting
the race under caution,
the green was thrown on
lap 16. Cautious
driving rewarded Disdier
by avoiding a major pile
up coming off of turn
two on lap 30 where more
than 10 cars were
involved. He moved to
the 18th
position when he took
the green flag again.
The Nice, France native
was more determined than
ever to move forward
through the field.
Just past the halfway
point, the yellow flag
dropped again. Disdier
would pull in the pits
under
caution where the Jack
Bowsher & Associates
Motorsports team changed
four tires and fueled
the car.
After avoiding several
more pile ups with his
quick instinct, he knew
what he had to do.
Becoming more
comfortable with each
lap, Disdier powered his
way to a spectacular 13th
finish.
After the race Disdier
states, “In 2002, I went
to my first NASCAR race
in Homestead, Florida
and that’s when I knew I
could do this job. My
dream is starting to
come true. I’m touching
it and now I am a little
closer. The Jack
Bowsher & Associates
Motorsports team is
wonderful and they will
help me with my dream!
It’s been very hard to
find the “right” team.
I now know that this
(Jack Bowsher &
Associates Motorsports)
is where I belong.”
Team
manager/spotter/mentor,
Todd Bowsher added, “I
feel Michel did a great
job and we were very
pleased with the
progress of the entire
weekend. The 13th
place finish was icing
on the cake. We look
forward to a promising
future.”
After this weekend,
Disdier added his name
to the growing list of
international drivers
entering stock car
racing in the United
States.
