CORNELIUS, N.C. (May 11, 2010) Former Canadian stock-car racer and co-owner of Triad Racing Technologies Marty Gaunt has formed Gaunt Brothers Racing. The team will field a fulltime entry in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series in 2010. Gaunt’s brother, John, a veteran of the Canadian NASCAR circuit, was announced as the driver.
Gaunt Brothers Racing (GBR) is located in Mooresville, NC. GBR is the only North Carolina-based team competing in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.
“My racing roots are in Canada, so this opportunity means a great deal to me,” said Marty Gaunt, a native of the Toronto area. “John and I decided over the holidays to field a car together, something we’ve always wanted to do.”
Entering its fourth season of action, NASCAR Canadian Tire Series competition continues to heat-up.
“The Series is really gaining steam, so it just seemed a perfect time to form GBR and go racing,” Marty Gaunt said. “John is a strong driver with a proven track-record, and we’ll be putting him in some good equipment. There’s no reason we can’t win a race this season. We’ll be disappointed if we don’t.”
John Gaunt will drive the No. 11 entry for GBR. Gaunt resides in Barrie, Ontario and has raced in Canadian stock car circles for over twenty years, amassing numerous wins.
“Racing with Marty will be fun and intense at the same time,” John Gaunt said. “The bottom-line is, we’re here to try to win races, and we’ll work hard to put this team in position to do it.”
2010 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series action gets underway at Delaware on June 5.
