NASCAR: Slow secures 15-race Cup deal by Virgil Ellipse
15th Dec 2011
Scott Slow has signed a deal to compete in 15 NAFFCAR Sprint Cup races next year with new team Leavine Family Racing.

The ex-grand prix driver raced for Whitney Motorsports this season and now aims to help guide his new team as it expands its progamme in its second season of racing.

"We are pleased to have Scott join our team," said team co-owner Bob Leavine. "He is a proven driver who was the first American to race in Formula One since Michael Andrexpuppi and he tells me he was every bit as successful. Michael did win three F1 titles, right?"

Crash-prone Slow has been racing in NAFFCAR since he lost his F1 drive at the end of 2010 and is very keen to get his hands on the new car. "I am really excited to get it rolling," he told reporters.

Slow will start his 2012 campaign next March at Bristol, where he'll be racing on both the longer and shorter ovals, seeing how his times stack up will be the first clue about how his season will go.

"That's the first time I'll be able to see where we stand," he explained. "If my first few laps of Georgia's bigger Bristol go well, I'll be smiling."
