TORONTO – Officials from MBS Motorsports, owned by Don Beatty, Jeff Murphy and Dominic Scrivo, have announced plans to enter the NASCAR Pinty’s Series next season.
The No. 31 MBS Motorsports Chevrolet will compete in select events next season with Daniel Bois serving as the driver.
Another important member of the MBS Motorsports effort will be Jay Fredericks, who will be the crew chief. Fredericks brings many years of experience, including time as Car Chief in the Pinty’s Series, and in the Trans-Am Series TA2 division as a crew chief.
“We’re really going back to the beginnings of grassroots stock car racing,” said Beatty. “We don’t have one big sponsor; we have a number of very enthusiastic smaller partners. Everyone involved with our team, whether it’s the crew that works on the car, our graphic designer, truck driver, they’re all volunteers. They’re all passionate about racing and they want to be involved in a culture that takes pride in everything they do.
“Our No. 31 Chevy was purchased from Scott Steckly and 22 Racing,” continued Beatty. “Scott himself has been involved in helping us get up to speed with everything from seat fittings to building out the infrastructure for our team. We can’t thank him enough for his assistance, he really wants us to succeed.”
Bois is well known as a driving instructor who has previously made two NASCAR Pinty’s Series starts, both during the 2013 season.
“I’m excited and honored to be part of this group,” stated Bois. “Connecting with this group of outstanding individuals and working with them improve their driving skills was the start of a special relationship and now we’re looking to begin this new adventure.”
All those involved at MBS Motorsports understand what this big step into the NASCAR Pinty’s Series entails.
“We are all big fans of the series and the wonderfully talented people that have been involved in this elite level of motorsports for the last 15 years,” Beatty said. “Our plan is to participate in the two races at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park for sure and as we learn and gain experience, we’ll consider additional races.”
