Bush and D’Aprile Ready for New Season

[NewsAdmin]

ELMA, NY (Oct. 22, 2009)— To say the Mel Bush Motorsports Pro Extreme team has had a rocky 2009 would be an understatement. Switching sanctioning bodies, debuting a new car and several bouts of bad luck have made the 2009 season one that team owner Mel Bush would rather put behind him.“It’s been tough,” he admits after mounting a full-time effort for the first time with the National Guard ADRL this year and introducing a new ‘70.5 Camaro at Hebron, Ohio in the third-last event on the schedule. “This season has taken a lot out of me and I just want to go to the races and have fun again. This format of finishing the year with the start of the next season is fine with me; the quicker this one’s over, the better.”Bush is referring to the National Guard ADRL’s practice of wrapping up its championship runs with the Speedtech Battle for the Belts this Friday on the opening day of the LenMar Motorsports ADRL World Finals V, with all points earned in qualifying and eliminations on Saturday counting toward qualifying for the 2010 Speedtech Battle for the Belts points race.Team driver Tommy D’Aprile tends toward always looking at the brighter side of things, but even he agrees with his boss on the team’s luck of late. “Things just haven’t been going our way,” D’Aprile said. “Every time we made one step forward we got pushed back two steps, heck sometimes three, but that’s in the past now and we’re really looking forward to this race as a new beginning.”(ADRL/Richards file photos)http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ADRLNews/~4/9Us1JfKEv1c
