Venturini Motorsports has announced the team's driver line-up for 2010 including a fulltime effort from Westlake, Louisiana driver Mikey Kile, slated to drive the no. 25 car for the entire ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards schedule.
The announcements were made during ARCA's annual Press Conference Saturday afternoon in Covington, Kentucky coinciding with the same-night ARCA Series championship awards banquet.
"We at Venturini Motorsports are extremely excited and optimistic about the upcoming season," said Billy Venturini, Competition Director for Venturini Motorsports. "We have a wonderful stable of drivers and could not be more proud of them and the people involved with our program. Our goals and expectations for next season are high and we feel with hard work and dedication we will achieve them."
Kile, a second-year driver in the ARCA Series, finished a career-best fourth last year at Talladega Superspeedway driving for Brad Keselowski Racing (BKR). Kile is confident about his move from BKR to Venturini Motorsports.
"I am truly confident in racing full time next year in the ARCA Series with Venturini Motorsports," Kile said. "Venturini Motorsports has proven themselves as the powerhouse team year in and year out and together we will truly be a considerable pair. I am solely committed to my new team (Venturini Motorsports) and I know they believe in me and will help me succeed my racing career. I am excited to get in the seat at Daytona and cannot wait for the test in late December."
In addition to Kile, Venturini Motorsports will be fielding a mix of Chevrolets and Toyotas for a variety of drivers in 2010.
In addition, Venturini Motorsports announced that Ali Owens, Steve Arpin, Jake Crum, AJ Frank and Pete Shepherd will be running in some capacity with the Concord, North Carolina-based team in 2010.
Venturini Motorsports, which reaches back three decades in ARCA competition, won two national ARCA titles with the company's patriarch Bill Venturini earning driving championships in 1987 and 1991 before handing the reigns over to his son Billy, who made 162 career starts prior to his new role with the team.
Venturini Motorsports, one of the premier development teams in ARCA competition, fielded cars for Joey Logano and Brian Scott prior to their ascension into NASCAR. Other development drivers who have raced under the Venturini Motorsports banner include Justin Allgaier, Sean Caisse, Scott Lagasse, Jr., Justin Marks and Marc Davis.
