WHITLOCK & NMT TOGETHER FOR SIX YEARS
Wyoming, ON: Dave Whitlock and the No. 39 Dickies Dodge Avenger team are
pleased to welcome back NMT, Nitrex Metal Technologies to their sixth year
of sponsorship of Whitlock Motorsports.
"We are proud of the relationship we have built with Dave Orosz of Nitrex
Metal Technologies, his employees and customers," stated team owner and
driver Dave Whitlock. "NMT have supported us through thick and thin and
have went far above all expectations, to support our race team. We couldn't
be happier to welcome them back for year six."
Nitrex Metal Technologies Inc. is a family owned and operated company based
in Burlington, Ontario. They place a strong emphasis on teamwork to achieve
the utmost level of service and quality for their customers through the use
of technology and innovation. With their focus being entirely on surface
treatment of metal components, they have an extensive knowledge of the
controlled gas nitriding process in particular and can offer a superior
level of service to that of their competitors. The combined knowledge and
expertise of the metallurgical and materials staff at both NMT and sister
company H&S Heat Treating allow a unique and comprehensive applications
design aid to their customers.
"Dave Whitlock and his team exemplify the values that reflect our company,
some of those being teamwork, hardworking, fun loving and tenacious,"
commented NMT-Nitrex President Dave Orosz. " We at NMT-Nitrex value the
relationship we have with the Whitlock Motorsports team and Dave Whitlock
personally and that is why we are back for our sixth year. The Whitlock
organization is first class, professional and always competitive, and are
representative of the best there is in Canadian Motorsports. We know they
have worked extremely hard during the offseason, have made significant
investments in new equipment and we can't wait for the first race when Whit
gets a chance to showcase all that effort out on the racetrack."
"Our main objective for the 2008 season is getting back to the winner's
circle," stated Dave Whitlock. "We missed the top rung of the podium last
year so we have been working hard during the offseason to remedy that. With
Dickies Canada signing a two year contract extension in September 2007, we
have been able to concentrate this off season on racing rather than
sponsorship."
CRS Trucking will again provide the power to haul the brand new 53'
Featherlite race trailer. Not to be out done Stan Morrow from CRS has
provided a new 2008 T660 Kenworth tractor with a large studio
lounge/sleeper. Both units are expected in the Whitlock Motorsports yard any
day now. Additionally, Wendell Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Kitchener have come on
board to look after all the paint and body needs of the two car race team.
Two new team members have been added in the offseason. Ray McCaughey
returns to the team after a two year hiatus. Ray will be working closely
with Dave & Warren as a set up specialist, overseeing tire preparation &
management and of course over the wall as rear tire changer. After helping
Whitlock Motorsports with the # 29 Pierre Bourque car for the last couple
seasons, Scott Van Camp comes on board for the 2008 season and will take on
the tire preparation duties at the track as well as over the wall as tire
carrier.
Whitlock Motorsports teammates Mark Dilley and Dave Whitlock will take to
the track for the first practice session of the year at the annual Mopar
Day. It takes place next week, Wed. April 30th at Kawartha Speedway just
outside of Peterborough. Next up will be the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series
open test session at Cayuga Motor Speedway on May 10th. This session is
open to the public to come out and watch as well as camp. For more
