Passmore focuses on better finish at Lanier
than at Toledo TOLEDO, OH – May 22, 2005 – Christi Passmore did not have a good day in the Hantz Group 200 at Toledo Speedway Sunday. The Oklahoma driver started well in tenth spot in her GAP Roofing-Asphalt & Fuel Supply Ford Taurus, but she was plagued with an ill-handling car all day, finally placing 20th. “The car was tight, and then it was loose,” said a disappointed Passmore after the race, which went through lengthy delays due to inclement weather. “The changes we made during the race just didn’t work because it was cloudy and raining one minute, and then sunny and warm the next.” “But I like racing at Toledo,” she continued. “We just didn’t have a good day.” Due to rain canceling regular qualifying, drivers in this fifth ARCA RE/MAX Series race started as per their 2005 points, and although Passmore started 10th in the 35-car field, the rest of the day went downhill from that, including a tussle with the wall on lap 105. The team will pack up, regroup, and head off to Georgia for the running of the Williams Brothers 200 at Lanier National Speedway, to be held May 28. “We’ll just pick it up and get ready for Lanier, and stay focused,”
she added. Back to the top

Passmore putting Nashville behind her, and is gearing up for Salem Nashville, TN (March 26, 2005) - Christi Passmore, driver of the GAP Roofing and Asphalt & Fuel Supply Ford, was a guest of host Larry Woody this morning on Nashville’s 106.7 The FAN Radio broadcasting live from the Nashville Superspeedway. When asked about her less-than-ideal starting position Passmore stated, “We would rather be starting from up front, it’s safer, but we’ll go out and do the best we can”. Unfortunately, Passmore fought an ill-handling car all weekend. She started from the 31st position in the PFG Lester 150 at Nashville Superspeedway in the ARCA RE/MAX Series. The GAP Roofing and Asphalt & Fuel Supply team worked extremely hard in practice and before qualifying to make the car drivable. She made a hard charge driving up through the field and was 17th when a left rear tire went down and ended her day. “This just wasn’t our weekend, the car ended up really fast,” said a disappointed Passmore after the race, the second in this year’s ARCA RE/MAX Series. “I’m looking forward to Salem, it’s probably my favorite short track,” added the 21-year old Passmore. The team will head home to Oklahoma, regroup, and start concentrating on getting ready for the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers 200, the next event of the ARCA RE/MAX Series, slated for April 24 at Salem Speedway. With its Midwestern roots dating back to 1953, the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) www.ArcaRacing.com has grown into one of the country's premier oval track racing series, and for 2005, the ARCA RE/MAX series will run 23 events on a variety of tracks including some of America’s top super speedways and short tracks throughout the eastern half of the United States.

the GAP Roofing and Asphalt & Fuel Supply Ford is ready for this weekend's

top division, the Winston Cup Series, now the Nextel Cup Series. Christi knew
that she had to start racing full-bodied, fendered stock cars on speedways to
get the proper experience. She chose the ARCA Re/Max Series to gain experience
