Lachenaie, Quebec – Canadian driver Alex Tagliani, of Lachenaie, QC, is excited to finally get back into the race car. After a long, cold, and snowy winter Tag is looking forward to seeing everyone in the NASCAR Paddock. Tagliani has raced in NASCAR for a long time and considers his competitors not only friends but family.

Saturday, May 13th. Sunset Speedway, Barrie, Ontario
Green Flag At 7pm

Tag is excited to have long-time partner St. Hubert back for another season and he is also excited that equally long-time partner La Petite Bretonne will be offering the ‘TAG ON THE GO’ cookie at St. Hubert locations. NTN is coming on board this season and this makes Tagliani very happy. Tag had a relationship with NTN in his early days while racing in the Formula Atlantic Series. Qwick Wick is back again this season and they are excited to offer the Tag 4-Pack. This is a great deal for those camping at the race track. Genatec will also join Tagliani’s team this season and Tag couldn’t be happier. Genatec is an amazing IT Company that provides an incredible service to the consumer.

As for the upcoming season, Tag had this to say. “The team has worked incredibly hard over the winter. They have put in many long hours ironing out all the bugs. It’s no secret that we have struggled a bit since we moved from the Goodyear Tire to the General Tire. However, we have always ended close to the top 3 each season. This year will be better. Scott and the entire team at 22Racing provide the best equipment in the series and I’m confident we will be competing for a championship in September at Delaware Speedway”.

Tagliani will sport another new livery this season which he considers will be a fan favorite. There is also the possibility that Tag will reveal one or two other schemes this year, so stay tuned.

Tagliani wants to thank everyone from sponsors, partners, competitors, and most importantly the fans for all their support. Tag has always said auto racing is not a single-person sport. It is the ultimate team sport that requires incredible dedication and determination from everyone involved. “I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of the NASCAR Pinty’s Series and I look forward to the best season yet”.

The NTN Ultimate Bearing Experience 250 from Sunset Speedway in Innisfil, near Barrie, Ontario will take place on Saturday, May 13th. Green flag at 7pm.
