Short Track Action | Short Track Racing News: Poole, Venturini Ready for Daytona - with Sponsor Poole, Venturini Ready for Daytona - with Sponsor ================================================================================ Venturini Motorsports Team PR on 02/01/2012 13:41:00 Brennan Poole, who catapulted himself into the national racing spotlight last year by winning his ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards debut at Salem Speedway and winning the 2011 UARA-STARS National Championship, is now preparing for the next chapter in his racing career. Poole, hoping to chase down his next championship, will drive the team's flagship No. 25 Adcetera-Venturini Motorsports Chevrolet in the ARCA Racing Series' season-opening Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona International Speedway. The 20 year-old driver will make his Daytona debut with Venturini Motorsports, with Billy Venturini as the team's crew chief. "Brennan has been impressive every time he's been in the seat for VMS," Venturini said. "He tested well in December and has been preparing for this race the entire offseason. I think he's got a great shot, and we expect him to shine at Daytona." In just four selected ARCA starts with Venturini Motorsports, the native of The Woodlands, Texas has captured a win (Salem Speedway) and a Menards Pole Award presented by Ansell (Pocono Raceway) and has led laps in all but one of his starts. "We've had a lot of success at every step, but to race for a storied team like Venturini Motorsports, especially at Daytona, certainly is the highlight," Poole said. "The Venturinis have high standards and very high expectations every time they go to Daytona. It's my job not to let them down." Nicknamed "The Bull," Poole was the 2002 Quarter Midget Grand National Champion, and he followed that up by winning 42 of 61 Pro National Legends races and the national race of champions feature in 2006. He also was the 2009 UARA-STARS Rookie of the Year and 2011 UARA-STARS Champion. He has won 10 times in the past two UARA-STARS seasons. Poole's car will be painted in a retro color scheme originally used by Billy Venturini during his 10-year driving career. Practice for the season-opening race starts on Thursday, February 16, while Menards Pole Qualifying is Friday, February 17, at 2 p.m. The race, scheduled to be televised live by SPEED, is Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET.
