Road course ace, Ron Fellows, will join the NASCAR Sprint Cup tour when it races off ovals this summer.
The Ontario native will wheel the No. 33 Circle Sport Chevrolet with Canadian Tire Corporation as primary sponsor for along with associate sponsorship from Texas-based AER Manufacturing in the Sprint Cup Series races at Sonoma Raceway (June 23) and Watkins Glen International (August 11).
The veteran of many forms of racing will be inducted Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in September, has six NASCAR victories to his credit in NASCAR Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series competition
“I'm really excited about driving for Circle Sport Racing and proud to have the iconic Canadian Tire red triangle on the hood,” said Fellows. “Joe Falk and his team have a great relationship with Richard Childress Racing, and with the opportunity to test the new generation Sprint Cup car at tracks on the NASCAR schedule, it was a deal I felt I wanted to be a part of and so did Canadian Tire.”
Fellows' resume includes wins in the 24-hour classics at Le Mans and Daytona, in addition to his stints in NASCAR in the American Le Mans Series. In 23 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races over a span of 15 years, Fellows has recorded a pair of runner-up finishes at Watkins Glen in 1999 and 2004.
“To have a driver of Ron's experience and ability behind the wheel of the Canadian Tire Chevrolet at the road course events is another milestone in our program,” said Circle Sport team owner Joe Falk. “Ron's long-time affiliation with GM Racing and our relationship with RCR (Richard Childress Racing) made this possible, and we're looking forward to giving Ron the opportunity to add to the list of his accomplishments in his racing career.”
“Canadian Tire has a long history of supporting racing and motorsport in Canada and we're incredibly proud to be part of this exciting Sprint Cup opportunity south of the border,” said Landon French, Vice President, Sport Sponsorship, and Canadian Tire. “The chance to partner with Ron Fellows, a Canadian racing legend at the highest level of sport, is a rare honor and we're excited to see him behind the wheel of the No. 33 Chevy.
