Moffitt’s Competitive Drive Fueled By NHMS Challenge
Harrisburg, N.C. (June 19, 2009): Only four drivers – Joey Logano, Brad Leighton, Steve Park, and Mike McLaughlin – have ever won at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in their rookie season on the NASCAR Camping World Series East. It’s a factual tidbit that further motivates 16-year-old Brett Moffitt even more. Moffitt, driver of the No. 44 Andy Santerre Motorsports Chevrolet, has broken many records – youngest pole setter, youngest winner, and youngest driver to ever lead the point standings – and wants to add his name to the short list of rookie winners at the prestigious 1.058-mile oval.
“We’re all very excited to be going to New Hampshire,” said Moffitt. “I want to win because, as a driver, I just want to be competitive anywhere I go. There is an added element at New Hampshire because we’ll be right there with the Cup guys and it’s a chance to showcase this team in front of them.”
Moffitt’s competitive drive has fueled a level of success that rivals that of Sprint Cup Series driver Joey Logano. Car owner Andy Santerre can’t say enough about Moffitt’s talents, and the future he believes this driver has.
“He’s one of the most consistent and smooth drivers I’ve ever had in this car,” said Santerre, who has gained a reputation as picking some of the most talented drivers to pilot his cars. “One of his strongest attributes is that he is able to adapt really quick. That’s important when you’re going from short tracks to road courses to, now, our superspeedway. Brett is able to change his mindset and drive each variety of track as if he has driven on them all his life.”
Moffitt has accomplished in the last five years what some drivers only dream about. He began racing at the age of 11 in go-karts, and has since won four WKA Championships, an IKF Championship, has won 26 IMCA races, the All Iowa SportMod Points Championship, and won the ASA Late Model North series Rookie of the Year to name a few.
“I would really like to make racing a career and become one of the top drivers in NASCAR,” said Moffitt. “I’m very lucky to have a very supportive family that has been with me every step of the way. We came into this season to race well and be consistent. This is only our second year on asphalt. We’ve started the season on a strong note and we’re doing what we need to do to try and win this championship.”
The Heluva Good! Summer 125 takes the green flag at 5 p.m. eastern time on Friday, June 26th. Moffitt enters the race as the NASCAR Camping World Series East point leader with 18 points over current runner-up Jody Lavender. Moffitt has one win, four top-five, and four top-10 finishes in just five starts.
