Media Announcement - For Immediate Release
Released: 29 July 2013 -0900 hours
Canadian Heroes Racing Team is pleased to announce that Kevin Trevellin has accepted the opportunity to pilot the 45 Canadian Heroes Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup series car. Kevin has over 20 years of designing and fabricating race cars in various classes. Included in that 20 years is work in the pits assisting crews at various tracks and Kevin brings 20 years of driving experience as well. Kevin has driving experience starting from super stock to CASCAR (now Lucas Oil) and is a qualified NASCAR driver. We are confident that this experience in driving, designing and fabrication will lead the Canadian Heroes Racing Team to a strong finish this year. Canadian Heroes Racing welcomes Kevin for joining us but we also would like to welcome the rest of the crew that will accompany Kevin on this journey.
Crew Chief Ian Holden has been with Kevin during most of his driving and fabrication. Ian’s wealth of experience in racing as a Crew Chief truly adds to the balance of the team that has accepted the challenge to be a part of the team.
Brad Prevett will be assisting Ian in the pits with the mechanics of the car and focusing on the tires for the race. Brad as the other new members has been with Kevin for a number of years complementing the crew and bringing their skills to the tracks for Canadian Heroes now.
Chuck Greaves Jr. joins the Canadian Heroes Crew as Kevin’s spotter during the race. As with the rest of the team, Chuck has been with Kevin providing him with the “eyes from above” for many years advising Kevin of the car locations and any hazards (flags e.g. yellow) that may occur on the track. Chuck will be responsible as well for communicating to Kevin his position on any restarts as advised by the LOSC officials.
Canadian Heroes Racing is proud to welcome this group of dedicated Canadians to pilot, service and maintain the 45 Canadian Heroes Racing car. We look forward to a great finish to the year.
Canadian Heroes is an organization of military personnel (retired, veterans and serving) along with patriotic citizens that believe “Freedom is never Free”. The Canadian Heroes 45 Lucas Oil Sportsman’s Cup is a memorial car that races in the memory of one of Canada’s fallen heroes each race. The hood of the car is presented to the family of the fallen hero immediately following the races. The next race for the 45 car is 10 August 2013 at Peterborough Speedway, Peterborough Ontario where Corporal Mark Robert McLaren (1 Royal Canadian Regiment) will be remembered. Corporal McLaren was born 07 September 1985 and was killed in action 05 December 2008. Corporal McLaren received the Military Medal of Valour (MMV) for his bravery in action during his tours in Afghanistan.
