David Stover,
MB Motorsports Sporting New Sponsor, ENERPAC,
for Las Vegas 350
David Stover and MB Motorsports are pleased to welcome
Enerpac as an associate sponsor for the remainder of the 2003 season in the
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS). Enerpac’s first race with the #63 Dave
Porter Truck Sales/MB Motorsports Ford is Saturday in “Sin City” for the Las
Vegas 350.
ENERPAC is the leading manufacturer of hydraulic tools and
components for a variety of applications worldwide, making it the brand of
choice for industries such as automotive manufacturing and assembly,
construction, power generation, metals transformation, and maintenance and
repair operations, all supported by service and engineering locations across
every continent.
"We couldn't be happier to have ENERPAC on board for the
remainder of our season," said MB Motorsports owner and crew chief, Mike
Mittler. "The company has a long history of manufacturing all types of
high-pressure hydraulic equipment, beginning with the manufacturing of shock
absorbers for the legendary Ford Model T. With that kind of pedigree, it's
obvious ENERPAC produces quality equipment and we're proud to represent them and
have them as part of our team."
Stover, finishing a career-best 17th recently at
Bristol, is hoping the confidence gained by that strong run will carry over to
Las Vegas this weekend.
"Finishing in the top-20 at Bristol did a lot to boost the
morale on our team," said the Tulsa, Okla., native, preparing for his seventh
NCTS start. "Bristol is one of the hardest tracks on the schedule and I think
it shows we can run up front and be competitive."
Mittler, whose teams have always run well at Las Vegas
Motor Speedway, said Saturday could be another career day for Stover. “We seem
to excel at tracks like Vegas and Texas. David was running strong at Kansas
this summer until he got loose and spun out midway through the race. “
"We've had some inconsistencies so far," he continued, "but
overall, I'm pleased with the way David and the team are running right now,
we're getting him ready to hopefully run a full season in 2004."
