RANDALLSTOWN, MD (May 2021) –Mattei Toyota Tundra for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Circuit of the Americas (COTA).
ThorSport Racing announces that it will field a fifth truck with Paul Menard behind the wheel of the No. 66
“I appreciate Duke and Ronda giving me this opportunity to get back into a truck, while working with Bud Haefele again. COTA is a new track for the series and one that I have never been to before, so we'll all be on relatively equal footing. I'll have 50 minutes to learn the track and knock the rust off and am certainly looking forward to the challenge of trying to add my name to the list of winners in all three national series,” said Menard.
The Wisconsin native began competing across¬ NASCAR’s three national series in 2003. He has previously made six Camping World Truck Series starts, 220 Xfinity Series appearances and 471 NASCAR Cup Series starts from 2003 to 2019.
Ing. Enea Mattei S.p.A is a global manufacturer of the most advanced compressor solutions in the Industrial, Mobility, Oil & Gas and Renewable Energy Sectors. Its proprietary rotary vane technology gives compressor users around the world access to an alternative technology that goes above and beyond their expectations in terms of energy efficiency, reliability, and customizability.
Compressors are very energy-intensive machines, so you have to work where you can to improve their performance in order to make them more energy efficient. Replacing all traditional compressors with vane compressors would result in a significant reduction in electricity consumption, with a consequent net reduction in CO2 emissions.
