Kevin
Harvick Inc.
(KHI),
announced
today that
20-year-old
NASCAR Busch
East driver,
Sean Caisse,
will drive
the No. 33
Outdoor
Channel
Chevrolet in
the
September
23, NASCAR
Busch Series
race at
Dover (Del.)
International
Speedway.
Caisse is
the 2005
NASCAR Busch
East
Rookie-of-the-Year
and has
three wins
to his
credit in
the 2006
Busch East
season.
Caisse is
currently
second in
the Busch
East points
standings.
Caisse, a
native of
Pelham, N.H.,
has been a
stable
fixture in
the
Northeast
racing scene
since 2002.
He has
competed in
everything
from Late
Model Stock
cars,
Northeast
Modifieds
and Busch
East cars.
Caisse
currently
competes in
the Busch
East Series
for veteran
driver Andy
Santerre and
Andy
Santerre
Motorsports.
"I'm looking
forward to
the
opportunity
to drive a
Busch car
for KHI,"
said Caisse.
"I'm really
excited that
my first
Busch start
will be in
Dover, a
track that
I've got
some
experience
on. I've
been working
hard to get
to this
point in my
career, and
I just want
to take full
advantage of
the
opportunity
that Kevin
and DeLana
Harvick have
given me."
Caisse will
be making
his NASCAR
Busch Series
debut at
Dover, Del.,
with the No.
33 team,
which
currently
sits 11th in
NASCAR Busch
Series owner
points
standings.
Caisse will
be pulling
"double-duty"
at Dover,
Del.;
competing in
both the
NASCAR Busch
East race on
Friday and
the NASCAR
Busch Series
race on
Saturday.
"Sean has
been doing a
great job in
the Busch
East cars
all year
long and has
a lot of
experience
racing some
tough
competition
in a heavy
car," said
Harvick. "DeLana
and I have
been
watching
Sean for a
while and
when the
need came up
for a driver
in the No.
33 Outdoor
Channel car
at Dover, we
thought Sean
could get
the job
done. He's
been working
with Andy
Santerre,
who is a
veteran
racer and
has an
outstanding
record. I'm
sure Andy's
been able to
teach Sean a
lot this
season and
hopefully
that will
transfer
over to our
Busch car."
Caisse will
have plenty
of
experience
in his
corner when
he arrives
at Dover
(Del.)
International
Speedway.
He'll have
his owner,
competitor
and Nextel
Cup and
Busch Series
points
leader Kevin
Harvick to
learn from,
as well as
the guidance
from KHI
General
Manager and
veteran
racer Rick
Carelli.
Charlie
Wilson will
serve as
crew chief
for Caisse
and the No.
33 Outdoor
Channel team
at Dover,
Del.
