HANOVER, Pa. — Cory Eliason will take over driving the Crouch Motorsports No. 11 sprint car beginning tonight at Lincoln Speedway.
With Eliason taking the controls, the team will continue to race frequently throughout the country while running a traditional outlaw schedule.
Eliason, who had driven Bernie Stuebgen’s Indy Race Parts machine this season, replaces Buddy Kofoid, who split with the team on Sunday.
“First, I would like to thank Bernie and Betsie Stuebgen of Indy Race Parts for everything they have done for me over the last 11 months,” Eliason said. “When I needed a ride last season, they were right there for me, and I truly thank them because this opportunity would not be here if it were not for them keeping me going.
“I am very excited for this new endeavor with Crouch Motorsports,” Eliason added. “Leighton Crouch (team owner) has built an incredible team in a short period of time, and I am honored to get the call to take over the driving duties. I am looking forward to working with Leighton, Brad Alexander, Stephen Hamm-Reilly, and everyone else that is associated with the team.”
Eliason gets right to work with Crouch Motorsports as he will be aboard the Mobil1/Hi-Plains Building Division No. 11 with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series in Pennsylvania starting on Wednesday night at Lincoln Speedway followed by a doubleheader at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday and Saturday night.
The team will continue to contest the High Limit Racing Series schedule, and will run frequently around the country taking on the World of Outlaws and the All Star Circuit of Champions.
“Jumping right in and racing in one of the toughest parts of the country is going to be a great first test for us, and I am excited,” Eliason added. “Crouch Motorsports has a great team of marketing partners behind them, and I am looking forward to representing them and working with them the rest of the season.”
