Theriault Gains More Experience, Looking Forward to
Montgomery
| good test for the young driver... |
Smyrna, GA - The Nesbitt Racing .45 GLOCK took to the track last
Saturday with 19-year-old Michelle Theriault at the wheel for the
Astro
Exterminating & Termidor 250. The race proved to be a good test for
the
young drivers' skills as she guided the vehicle virtually unscathed
through the field for a 21st place finish.
For the second race of the young season, Theriault was able to gain
valuable experience behind the wheel. "This was my first time for this
track and it lived up to its growing reputation as a track with multiple
lines available to a racer, I just got on the wrong line in the
beginning of the race, which put us behind," stated Theriault. The first
part of the race found the .45 GLOCK Ford Fusion going to the back and
having to fight its way through the field.
"Going a lap down early was not in our plans but it happened, and we
did everything we could to get that lap back," commented spotter Mart
Nesbitt. But as the racing settled down and the 17 cautions that slowed
the race took its share of competitors, Theriault found her grove and
was able to race the leaders during the rest of the race.
| "I am still finding myself with
this car... |
"I am still finding myself with this car and with the team. We learn so
much with each race, that as soon as we put the car away, were thinking
about what were going to do for the next race to do better," commented the
upbeat Theriault after the race.
"This is a breakthrough season for us at GLOCK. We have the ability to
sponsor a Ford Fusion and we have a young talent and established team
that's competing at every turn. We couldn't be happier, " commented Ed Fitzgerald,
Director of Marketing for GLOCK.
The team is looking forward to the next race in Montgomery on March 25, as
TEAM GLOCK again gets to attack the half mile surface for 250 laps of racing
excitement.
