McAnally Tabs Champs For All-Star Showdown

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Championship-winning car owner Bill McAnally has increased his odds of seeing one of his drivers in victory lane in next month’s NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown as three 2010 NASCAR titlists will be racing out of the Bill McAnally Racing fold for the special event.

BMR’s Eric Holmes, a three-time NASCAR K&N Pro Series West champion, will be joined by D.J. Kennington, this year’s NASCAR Canadian Tire Series titlist, and German Quiroga, champion of the NASCAR Mexico Series. As 2010 NASCAR developmental series titlists, all three have secured starting spots for the all-star race Jan. 28-29 at Toyota Speedway @ Irwindale (Calif.), which brings together the top racers across North America and is highlighted by a 225-lap NASCAR K&N Pro Series race.

The trio of champs joins McAnally’s other full-time drivers, Paulie Harraka and Moses Smith.

“We are very excited about this opportunity for BMR to field entries for three NASCAR champions in the biggest event of the year,” said team President Bill McAnally. “These drivers represent NASCAR racing in three countries and the Showdown provides them a chance to showcase their talent on a major stage together.”

While Kennington and Quiroga will be making their first starts in the Showdown, Holmes has two top-10 finishes in four starts in the event and triumphed in the Elite portion of the 2004 program as a racer in the former NASCAR Southwest Tour.

The NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown pits the 2010 NASCAR developmental series champions and winners of 2010 K&N Pro Series races against each other in a 225-lap main event divided into two 100-lap segments and a 25-lap race to the finish. The weekend also includes a 75-lap NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Super Late Model event and a 50-lap NASCAR Whelen All American Series Late Model race.
