Sports Correspondent
ISLAMABAD: Pakistani Car driver Nur Ali made his debut last week at the hallowed cauldron of racing known as Daytona and became the first Asian driver to compete at the world-renowned ARCA Daytona 200, says a report made available here Tuesday. Ali took to the track in the #45 Tara Energy sponsored Cunningham Motorsports Dodge Charger. In doing so, Ali added a critical component to stock car racing’s latest push for globalisation. Commenting on Ali’s transition to stock cars, Adil Jafry, CEO of Tara Energy said, “Ali’s entry into ARCA creates exciting opportunities for Tara Energy to reach customers who enjoy stock car racing and his loyal open-wheel racing fan base will follow him to the excitement of Daytona.” Ali’s stock car debut at the 45th running of the ARCA Daytona 200 drew one of the largest and most competitive fields for drivers. ARCA Race Series is the junior league of the American-based NASCAR Series, the highest type of racing in the United States.
