Ranger wins - NASCAR Canada

[jonovision_man]

Formerly CASCAR, now NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.

A brilliant win with a rubbin' is racin' pass for the lead! Overcame an early stop-and-go penalty to win.

The race was last week but it was just on TV. :) Road race around Mosport, he's really got his head around this stock car stuff it seems.

Why ChampCar's business model sucks donkey nuts:


Ranger said that it was hard to justify having to come up with $4 million a season to race in Champ Car, when all that got him was a ride with a team that had no real chance of winning.

Yet in spite of under-funded efforts, Ranger managed a top-10 championship finish in his second Champ Car season.

"I thought that would mean an automatic job back in the series where they would pay me," he said. "I was disappointed and disillusioned when I wasn't offered anything to go back this season."

Enter Dave Jacombs, who put Ranger in the No. 27 Wal-Mart/Tide Jacombs Racing Ford.

"They are actually paying me to race," Ranger said. "What a concept."
