July 28, 2011. Ron Beauchamp Jr. and the #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge continued to build momentum on the 2011 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series western swing. During round number seven at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway Beauchamp scored his second straight top ten finish.
Once again the #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge showed plenty of horsepower and Beauchamp posted the seventh quickest qualifying time. "The car was pretty good all day" said Beauchamp. "We had very consistent laps during practice and came out with a good qualifying lap" he added.
When the green flag waved for the 250 feature event Beauchamp quickly showed the same kind of performance in the last race. The #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge started seventh but soon moved into the top five. "Everything was going well early on" said Beauchamp. "Soon after though the car started to tighten up and I had to run a little higher on the track" he added.
Despite being forced to run the higher groove Beauchamp maintained a position inside the top ten with the #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge. "I just had to adjust my approach a little bit. And I knew we'd make adjustments during our pit stop" said the driver.
With the scheduled stop for fuel and tires completed Beauchamp again set his sights on the front of the field. After a few strong laps once again the #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge would become tight and force the driver to adjust his racing line. This persisted through rest of the race yet Beauchamp was still able to muscle the car home with a seventh place result.
With back to back top ten finishes and two races in less than a week the #60 Mopar Parts/Mobil 1/Exide Batteries Dodge team is pretty pleased with the results. "We've definitely made some big gains in the last few races" explained the driver. "This whole team can feel the momentum moving in the right direction and we're looking forward to getting back in action again" he added.
