OWENS MAKES CHICAGOLAND DEBUT
The Chicagoland ARCA 200 marks Alli Owens’ first visit to the 1.5 mile Chicagoland Speedway. Piloting one of her favorite race cars, the No. 12 ElectrifyingCareers.com Chevrolet nicknamed ‘Mudpuppy’, Owens is optimistic.

“Mudpuppy is my second favorite car mostly because it’s very comfortable to drive,” said Owens. “We ran it in Kentuck  where I scored my career best finish. We also ran it in Kansas and Michigan but mechanical problems kept us from finishing well. This weekend,we put in our strongest motor and have a totally killer package.”

DGM Racing, which fields the No. 12 entry for Owens, competed at Chicagoland Speedway from 2004-2006 with team owner Mario Gosselin behind the wheel. Each time, it proved to be a contender.

“Our team has always been strong here and we expect that to continue this year,” said Owens. “We didn’t have the opportunity to test, but Mario recently tested a Truck here and the data from that is very helpful for our ARCA car.”
