Mario Gosselin, a well-known driver from ARCA and the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series, has bought trucks from now-defunct Spears Motorsports, and his DGM Racing team plans to compete this weekend at Kansas Speedway.
The Quebec native, who has two Cup starts and three Busch Series starts in his career, said in a phone interview Saturday that he would also likely run the race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway next month and then put Hooters Pro Cup driver Scotty Crockett behind the wheel at Mansfield, Ohio, during Memorial Day weekend. The team will pick and choose races throughout the season.
Gosselin, a two-time Pro Cup Series champion and three-time ARCA race winner, fields an ARCA car for 19-year-old Alli Owens in ARCA but has been itching to drive.
“It’s something I’ve been looking at for a long time,” said the 36-year-old Gosselin. “I need to be sitting on the box for Alli, and it made me look at something I can do. It’s the only way I could concentrate on Alli 110 percent of the time and get to race myself.”
Gosselin said he will be the No. 12 with sponsorship from crashedtoys.com for the Kansas race. His brother, Germain, will be his crew chief.
