ASA ACDelco Series ACTIONLINE 300
PEDNLETON, Ind. (May 3, 2001) -- David Bonnett, 2000 ASA Rookie of the Year candidate and son of the late Neil Bonnett, will make his return to the series when the American Speed Association invades Montgomery Motor Speedway for the second-annual ACTIONLINE 300 this coming Sunday, May 6. The event is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. (Eastern).
"I'm really looking forward to coming back to the series and seeing a lot of the guys involved again," said Bonnett. "I feel like we will be behind because we have not run this year and on the new tires, but we really aren't expecting anything big. We just want to make the show, run competitively and have some fun."
Bonnett competed in 17 events during his rookie year of 2000, where he collected two top-10 finishes and finished sixth out of 20 in the chase for the rookie of the year title. Bonnett's seventh in the season-ending race at Gateway International Raceway wa s his best finish of the year. Bonnett indicates the team would like to run full-time and is currently looking for sponsorship. They hope to run a possibility of three races in 2001.
NOTES OF INTERST:
The ACTIONLINE 300 will mark the debut of southern short track veteran Wayne Anderson. Anderson, the 1999 All Pro Series Champion, has been a leading racer with All Pro over the last several years. He currently sits second in the 2001 All Pro standings while collecting three win in the series' four events. He will drive a car with his familiar Jani-King sponsorship.
As of Thursday, May 03, 2001, the ACTIONLINE 300 currently has 44 entries. The starting field will consist of 32 cars with a maximum of two provisional starters.
