SPRINGFIELD,
Ohio (April 8,
2008) - -
Jack Bowsher &
Associates
Motorsports and
race car driver
Michel Disdier
have joined
forces for the
April 13th
Kentuckian Ford
Dealers 200 at
Salem Speedway.
Disdier will
make his ARCA
RE/MAX debut
driving the
famed No. 21
Jack Bowsher &
Associates
Motorsports Ford
on the tricky
half-mile oval.
“We are
extremely
excited about
Michel joining
Jack Bowsher &
Associates
Motorsports
team,” stated
team manager
Todd Bowsher.
“We are looking
forward to
helping Michel
gain experience
in these 3,400
pound stock cars
and preparing
him for his
ultimate goal to
race in the
elite NASCAR
Series. I am
excited about
working with him
as his racing
career continues
to grow. I am
quite confident
that the
experience the
Jack Bowsher &
Associates
Motorsports team
brings along
with the rich
history, we will
be able to make
Michel’s
learning curve a
fast one. The
ARCA RE/MAX
Series and Jack
Bowsher &
Associates
Motorsports are
both what Michel
needs to get off
to a good start
in his stock car
career.”
Disdier, who
began driving at
age 14, has had
a varied driving
career,
including moto-cross,
endurance and
formula racing.
In 1991, the
Nice, France
native switched
all of his focus
on formula
racing. He is
now looking
forward to
switching gears
and making his
ARCA RE/MAX
debut at Salem.
He has never
raced in this
stock car series
but is ready for
the challenges
of adjusting to
a new car, a new
track and a new
team.
“For me, this is
a dream come
true,” said
Disdier. “It’s
been a long time
now that I have
wanted to race
in NASCAR and
the ARCA RE/MAX
Series is the
first step in
making that
dream a
reality. I’ve
given myself
entirely to this
project and am
surrounded by
supportive
people who have
helped me all
the way. Now
that I’ve joined
forces with a
team that can
jump start my
stock car
career, this
year will allow
me to discover a
lot of new
things. I am
ready more than
ever to live my
American dream!”
Jack Bowsher &
Associates
Motorsports has
over 80
victories in its
rich racing
history.
Founded by Jack
Bowsher in 1949,
the team is in
its 59th
season of
competition.
Todd Bowsher
will have double
duty as spotter
and mentor for
Disdier. Salem
has historically
been a strong
track for Jack
Bowsher &
Associates
Motorsports. It
has brought
several top-five
finishes.
Disdier will be
driving the same
car that Todd
Bowsher finished
fifth at Salem
Speedway in the
fall of 2006.
The car will be
powered by a
Rhyne Racing
engine.
