MacLeod
Hoping for an "Explosive" CASCAR Rookie Season
Innisfil, ON - Tara MacLeod, driver of the Central
Merchant Services Ford, and Rookie of the Year contender in
the CASCAR Super Series, has signed Damon "Dynamite"
Sharpe as her crew chief.
"Dynamite has a great deal of experience and is a tremendous
asset to our team," stated MacLeod, who will be competing
in her first year in the national stock car series.
Sharpe is very familiar with the cars and the equipment,
as he was crew chief for Kerry Micks, driver of the PowerWater
Ford, until stepping back to concentrate on his growing real
estate business. Micks Motorsports is supplying and preparing
the cars for MacLeod Racing this season.
"I'm glad I was able to talk him out of retirement,"
smiled MacLeod. "He's too good to give it up just yet.
"I'm excited and looking forward to this season,"
explained Dynamite. "The deal is for race weekends only,
no shop time which allows me to concentrate on my business.
It's a good move for both of us."
The MacLeod team is relatively an inexperienced crew in terms
of CASCAR competition and are looking forward to the leadership
and knowledge Sharpe can bring to the team.
"Should be a great summer, I can't wait to get that
Central Merchant Services Ford to the track" stated MacLeod.
MacLeod’s Ford Taurus race cars are being prepared
by Micks Motorsports of Mt. Albert, Ontario, under the leadership
of Kerry Micks, veteran CASCAR Super Series competitor known
as “The Iron Man."
Under the team banner of MacLeod Racing, www.taramacleod.com,
32-year old Tara has been a strong competitor on the Ontario
short-tracks for the past 10 years, with several awards to
her credit. She has always wanted to step up her racing career,

12-race CASCAR Super Series, www.cascar.com, and 2005 will
mark her first year in CASCAR.
