Dover, DE: In Dover, DE on Friday night Sean Caisse proved what is he made
of-as a person and as a driver. Caisse led on a number of occasions en
route to his third-place finish in the MBNA RacePoints 150 for NASCAR Grand
National Busch North Series at Dover International Speedway. It marked a career
best Busch North Series finish for the rookie sensation out of Pelham, NH,
who was making his first start at the "Monster Mile."

"I am incredibly happy," said Caisse. "Finally our finish shows how good
this team really is."

Throughout the weekend, the teenager demonstrated resilience, determination
and talent. He proved that he and his team could face new challenges,
overcome obstacles, and race with the "big boys". This weekend, Sean Caisse
proved
that he is a contender.

"It felt great to be battling for the lead and the race win," said Caisse.
"It was fun out there tonight. This is an awesome racetrack. During those
first few laps in practice I actually had chills."

In Bud Pole qualifying on Thursday afternoon, Caisse posted a first lap of
24.304 seconds at 148.123 MPH only to have problems on his second lap. The
single lap was enough to earn a fifth-place starting spot for Friday’s event.
In a testament to the Motion Racing Team, who worked tirelessly getting the
car repaired, the Casella Waste Services Chevrolet joined the starting grid
for the start of the event on Friday night.

Caisse quickly jumped from his fifth starting position to the top of the
leader board. He took the lead from Ryan Moore on lap 32 and led for several
laps before relinquishing the lead to Moore again on lap 38. The two young
guns swapped the lead back and forth during several segments of the race.
Just after the halfway marker, Caisse had dropped as low as eighth position
after a series of pit stops. Once again, Caisse quickly made his way to the
front.

"We had a really strong car tonight," said Caisse, "and it showed."
On lap 102, Caisse was leading once again. After another seesaw battle at
the point with Moore, Caisse settled into the second position.
"We ran the last 30 laps with a right rear tire going down," said Caisse. "
The rear-end of the car started skating around a bit. Ryan (Moore) and Andy
(Santerre) were both able to get by in the closing laps. But things could
have been much worse," continued Caisse philosophically, "thankfully it was a
slow leak in the tire. We dodged a bullet."

Caisse led four times for a total of 26 laps.

"Things are finally starting to come together for us," said Caisse. "We
have been running good, we have our first top-three finish, and we have begun
what we hope will be a long association with Casella Waste Services."

With his outstanding run at Dover, Caisse climbed back into the top-ten in
the point standings. The young driver now sits in ninth. With only two races
remaining in the Busch North Series season, Caisse trails Mike Johnson by
only 20 points.

Caisse hopes to carry his momentum to Lakeville, CT when the Busch North
Series makes their lone appearance on a road course in 2005. The Burnham
Hydronics 200 presented by Mohegan Sun will take place on Saturday, October 1 at
Lime Rock Park. For more information log on to www.nascartouring.com
