Moffitt To Compete At Iowa Speedway This Weekend
NEWTON, IA (August 31) - Andy Santerre Motorsports together with driver
Brett Moffitt have announced that they will compete in this weekend’s
Central Iowa Building and Construction Trades 125 at Iowa Speedway, a NASCAR
Camping World Series West event. Moffitt will be driving the No. 4 Chevrolet
sponsored by Karl Chevrolet. This will be Moffitt’s third start at the track
closest to his Grimes, Iowa hometown.
“We’re really excited to be heading back to Iowa Speedway,” said Moffitt.
“The last time we were there we had a really competitive car, but we got
tight in the last 20 laps or so and finished sixth. I know we can go there
and run good so I’m really looking forward to it. I’ll have my friends and
family there, and I really think that Iowa is one of the best tracks I’ve
gone to with the Camping World Series. I can’t think of a better place to
give them a win!”
moffitt is currently sixth in the NASCAR Camping World Series East point
standings with one win, four top-five, and seven top-10 finishes. Only 14
points separate him from the fourth and fifth place drivers as the series
comes to its final two-race stretch that kicks off at New Hampshire Motor
Speedway later this month. The extra seat time at Iowa should be an
advantage for the 17-year-old driver.
“Our last two races are on tracks a mile or bigger,” said Moffitt. “Iowa
isn’t quite a mile, but its close enough. The seat time is what’s important.
When you’re on track you get a momentum, you get better. We’re still within
striking distance of the championship in the East Series so anything I can
do to get closer to that, I will.”
Moffitt has cemented a reputation as a go-getter in the NASCAR Camping World
Series East. He’s earned a place in the record books as the youngest driver
in series history to win a pole, win a race, and lead the series point
standings. But this weekend will mark his debut in a West Series stand-alone
event.
“I raced with these guys back at the combination race with the East Series
in May,” said Moffitt. “Everyone I raced with was clean, and I raced them
clean. There are some talented drivers in the field and I look forward to
racing with them again.”
The Central Iowa Building and Construction Trades 125 takes place under the
lights with an 8 p.m. start time on Friday, September 4th. For more
