Michelle Theriault To Run Truck At Kansas
Mooresville,
N.C.
(April
23,
2008)
-
With
the
hopes
of
competing
in
the
2008
O'Reilly
Auto
Parts
250
at
Kansas
Speedway,
Michelle
Theriault
has
aligned
with
Rick
Markle
Racing
for
the
April
26th
Craftsman
Truck
Series
race.
The
22-year
old
Theriault
be
qualifying
the
number
73
truck
for
the
same
team
that
has
entered
Jennifer
Jo
Cobb
in
the
number
74
truck.
"Rick
and
Del
Markle
have
been
longtime
supporters
of
me
and
my
career.
They
offered
me
the
chance
to
test
in
one
of
their
cars
at
Daytona
and
I
jumped
at
the
opportunity."
As a
driver,
Rick
Markle
made
starts
in
the
NASCAR
Nationwide
Series,
Craftsman
Truck
Series
and
in
the
USAR
Hooters
Pro
Cup
Series.
Currently,
he
is
focusing
his
attention
on
building
his
Rick
Markle
Racing
team
into
a
full-time
competitor.
"I
really
appreciate
what
their
entire
organization
has
done
for
me."
Michelle's
association
with
RMR
includes
competing
against
Rick
in
the
USAR
Pro
Cup
series
and
last
year
his
father
Del
was
the
engine
tuner
for
her
team
in
the
ARCA
and
Busch
East
Series.
Nitrofill
will
be
on
board
as
an
associate
sponsor
and
the
team
is
still
actively
pursuing
primary
sponsorship
for
Theriault.
The
opportunity
for
a
primary
sponsor
is
open
for
the
Kansas
race
as
well
as
of
the
remainder
of
the
season.
Michelle
is
looking
to
run
several
more
races
in
the
Craftsman
Truck
Series
but
that
will
be
decided
by
what
the
team
can
arrange
for
sponsorship.
Theriault
says,
"I
am
excited
for
this
opportunity
and
realize
my
main
goal
is
to
gain
seat
time
so
by
the
end
of
this
season
I
will
be
ready
to
run
at
every
track
for
the
entire
truck
season
in
2009."
