Showdown to Be Duncan's Last Race under Lucas Oil Banner
Irwindale, CA – Two-time NASCAR Grand National
Division West Series champion, Mike Duncan is the single, most
identifiable driver/car owner in the west. His back-to-back
championships in the series, combined with his pole dominance and
overall, front-running team have become an element of the western
region racing cognoscenti. That’s about to increase even more.
This weekend’s Toyota Showdown, here in Southern California will be the
last time that MB Duncan Motor Sports will race with primary sponsor
Lucas Oil on the hood. In 2003 Lucas Oil joined forces with
Duncan, and the very first race was a trip to victory lane in Madera
(CA). Two championships and a mountain of top fives, pole awards
and another runner-up spot in this season’s series later, Duncan and
Lucas Oil are shaking hands and wishing each other well. As
Duncan is preparing to battle the best drivers in the Grand National
Division, he slowed down long enough to reflect for a brief moment.
“Well, I just hope we end this deal the same way we started it”, said
Duncan, alluding to the Madera win. “Lucas has a lot of
visibility this weekend with a Busch car and a late model, but I feel
that we’ve given them a lot of good exposure over the years, and we’d
sure like to finish strong for them as well.” Duncan will drive
his Chevrolet that also carries Ron’s Rear Ends and
Greenfrogroastinco.com on it, and he hopes this weekend will catch the
attention of numerous sponsors that he’s been in discussions with.
In talking of his times with the red, white and blue color scheme and
the knockout looks of his hauler, Duncan grins and says, “Well, next
year’s look will bring a whole new feel to the events for us, and I’m
confident that the relationships that we’re building will be special
ones.” Duncan would not elaborate on any specifics related to
future sponsorships or naming rights to his success. In fact, he
made no secret of letting the marketing world know that he’s “open for
business”. He added this to his reflective talk:”If there are
companies out there that have been considering getting into the sport,
I can speak confidentially that our team will put them up front right
out of the gate. They wouldn’t have to go through the growing
pains of a team figuring things out – we’ll be up front pretty much
everywhere we go.”
The MB Duncan Motor Sports team is proud to include the name Bill
Sedgwick in all of its media material. Bill is a multiple series
champion in the west, and as the team’s Crew Chief, his name, success
and experience is the backbone of the team. This iconic figure in
the west helps cement the MB Duncan Motor Sports team in the history
books. The team would also like to thank all of the sponsors,
friends, family members, track officials, series officials, series
employees and fans for their consistent, loyal support.
This may be the last race under one sponsor’s name, but it’s also
the beginning of a new era for Mike Duncan. The future looks
incredibly bright, and we wish Mike the best.
