| STEVE ARPIN STARTS THE ARCA SEASON WITH A TOP 10 FINISH 02.08.10 Daytona Beach, FL(February 8th, 2010) - Venturini Motorsports made groundbreaking news in the ARCA Series with their Daytona Drive for Five effort. After all of the Venturini drivers qualifying in the top 20, they were ready for their drivers to tighten their belts and the green flag to drop. Steve Arpin, driver of the no. 55 Farm Boys BBQ Toyota, qualified 10th and finished 10th for Venturini Motorsports at the 2010 ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards season debut It takes a lot of patients and discipline to drive at Daytona and having 4 other teammates for each Venturini Motorsports driver to work with always helps. After the first caution of the day, on lap seven, Venturini Motorsports teammates John West Townley and Steve Arpin were running 7th and 8th respectively, Venturini Motorsports communicates their race strategy to stay in sequence and run together to the front and then race at the end. It helps to have teammates on the track. While under caution Steve Arpin noticed the car in front of him, his teammate John Wes Townley, had picked up some debris on the no. 35 Zaxby’s Toyota. Steve radioed over to Billy Venturini to ensure that the no. 35 team takes extra precaution. By lap 32, Venturini Motorsports was 40% of the top 10 with Thompson running second, Owens in third, Townley in 9th, and Arpin in 10th. Venturini Motorsports’ teammates were working together to dominate the top 10. Throughout most of the remainder of the race, Venturini Motorsports continued to occupy four of the top 10 positions. On lap 70, Steve Arpin, driver of the no. 55 Farm Boys BBQ Toyota, raced his way to the 7th position. His spotter made constant reminders to Steve to stay focus and on his toes; he was about to see a lot of action in the remaining laps. And a lot of action did occur in the last ten laps of the race and Arpin raced the no. 55 to a 10th place finish. The finishing results at Daytona International Speedway were an overall accomplishment for Venturini Motorsports. Steve Arpin and Venturini Motorsports will race at the second ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards event at Palm Beach Int’l Raceway in Jupiter, FL on February 27.
