Duncan Dedicates 4th of July Race at Irwindale
to American Troops
Irwindale, CA - NASCAR Grand National Division, West series driver and
two-time champ, Mike Duncan will be driving the most patriotic car in
the entire field tonight for the King Taco 200 at Irwindale
Speedway. The Independence Day race tonight will feature the top
drivers in the western United States, and Duncan's instantly
recognizable Lucas Oil # 9 Chevrolet with the dominant red, white and
blue scheme will fit perfectly into the scenery.
Duncan recently returned from Roseburg, Oregon where a late-race flat
tire kept him from finishing in the top five, but he's never sounded
more upbeat than now. "Vance, this race on the 4th of July,
in Southern Cal, with family and friends in attendance - well, I can't
imagine a better way to celebrate our nation's holiday. We truly
are blessed to be living in the best country in the world."
Speaking of the every-day pleasures and opportunities that we Americans
have at our fingertips, Duncan continued with his theme of appreciation
by adding, "Tonight's race is going to be dedicated to all of our
soldiers stationed around the globe. Because of their commitment
and courage, we're all able to celebrate here with our loved ones and
compete in a friendly atmosphere. Our team salutes them, thanks
them and we're going to race hard for them tonight!"
Wrapped up in a heated battle for the points race, Duncan will attempt
to grab the lead tonight as he comes to Irwindale without the elusive
rabbit's foot that championship teams have to have. Duncan
states, "One of these races we're going to have a little good luck
instead of bad, and that's going to feel nice." Maybe tonight
will be that night.
Mike Duncan was the NASCAR Grand National Division Rookie-of-the-Year
in 2000. Behind the leadership of two-time Grand National Champ,
Bill Sedgwick, Duncan and team won the 2004 – 2005 championships.
Together, they compete full time on the Grand National West
series. To learn more about Mike and follow his season, please
