After three qualifying runs Delehay finished qualifying in the third position after a very tricky day in Edmonton.

"We came to Edmonton with expectations of running six teens" said Delehay, "The track this weekend is not in very good shape", "This entire season we have aborted two, maybe three runs" Delehay said, "This weekend we have six aborted runs including our three testing passes on Friday".

Delehay set for return to Edmonton

 

Currently sitting third in the West Coast Pro Mod Association Championship points standings, Joe Delehay and his PM Motorsports team are ready for their return to Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta this weekend as they venture three hours north from their home town of Calgary, Alberta for the half way point in the WCPMA 2009 series.

 

The last time the PM Motorsports team brought their Tim McAmis built 1968 Pro Mod Camaro to Edmonton was at last years IHRA Rocky Mountain Nationals, where Delehay and team came home with a Semi-Final finish. "We are excited to come back to Edmonton" said Delehay, "We are sitting in the number one spot if everything goes our way".

 

Delehay and team have had the fastest car in the West Coast Pro Mod series this season, taking the "Pit Mat USA" Top MPH of the event at every race this season. "Our team has worked very hard at every race" said Delehay.

 

The PM Motorsports team consists of Driver Joe Delehay, Crew Chief Ken "The Wiz" Eisler, Engine Specialist Jason Delehay, Clutch Expert Kyle "Jet Boy" Barg, and Maintenance/Chef Eddie Chabot. "We have had the same group of guys helping out for the past four years" said Joe, "This is our Championship winning team so you know they'll be working hard and our qualifying results so far indicate that". Delehay and team have been the number one qualifier at every race except for one where they qualified number two.
