Rain Postpones Debut for Caisse/McRae Racing; Doesn't Dampen Spirits

Pelham, NH: It looks as if Sean Caisse of Pelham, NH will have to wait yet again to rekindle his racing efforts. For the second time, the Whelen 150 for the NASCAR Busch North Series originally scheduled for Sunday, May 15 at Lee USA Speedway in Lee, NH was again postponed on May 21 &22 due to inclement weather. No reschedule date has been announced at this time. The event was to have been Caisses first race back since taking a temporary hiatus from racing during the 2004 season as he searched for sponsorship.

A revitalized Caisse will take on the challenge of the Busch North Series with renewed enthusiasm and an arsenal of weapons-mainly support. Throughout the 2005 season, Caisse will drive the Barney McRae-owned #5.

I am very grateful for this opportunity, said Caisse. I am surrounded by good people with an incredible amount of racing knowledge. This is an excellent place for me to really start my Busch North career.

McRae, a driver for over 25 years, has adapted well to his new role as car owner. He and Caisse communicate well and appear to have a chemistry that will serve them well as they go forward. Former series champion Mike Olsen of Haverhill, NH also has become a mentor of sorts for the 19-year old Caisse.

With a tremendous team behind him, Caisse lacks only much-needed sponsorship; however, financial support is slowing falling into place. Over the last few weeks, Caisse has signed on two associate sponsors- Trik Custom Sleds of Lowell, MA and Town & Country Flooring of Pelham, NH.

Trik Custom Sleds is the first East Coast company to specialize in custom snowmobiles for the sport of trail riding. They offer a wide variety of chassis, engines, axels etc. with custom paint jobs, wheels, storage services and more.

Caisse is looking forward to additional track time to further build his skills in the full-bodied cars. The teen had a solid showing during the practice for the Whelen 150 at Lee back on May 14th.

I was very comfortable in the car, said Caisse. I was able to turn smooth and consistent laps. I am satisfied with the performance of the car and very proud of the team.

The College Student should finally get the opportunity to debut his new ride when the Busch North Series moves on to Thompson International Speedway on Saturday, June 12, 2005 for the running of the Busch North 150, a companion event to the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour.
