MOORESVILLE, North Carolina (December 8, 2011) - - Officials from Team BCR Racing announced today that Buster Graham a native of Lafayette, Louisiana has joined the organization for a minimum of 10 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards races in 2012 beginning with February’s season-opener at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway on Saturday, February 18, 2012.

Graham, a former Hydroplane racer moves to Team BCR Racing after competing in four races this season with Mark Gibson Racing (MGR). Before his transition to ARCA, he also competed in three CARS Pro Cup Series under the MGR umbrella. In his ARCA outings, Graham posted a best finish of 15th at Iowa Speedway while qualifying a career-best 15th in his final race of the year at Kansas Speedway. Graham finished outside the top-20 just once at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway in a spectacular incident on the opening lap.

“The move was not an easy decision by any means,” said Graham. “I do and will always have the up most respect for Mark (Gibson) and his organization. I am indebted to him for helping make my transition from water to asphalt a successful one. I wish him nothing but the best in the future. With that being said, I’m stoked about the opportunity to race with Team BCR Racing. I’ve been very impressed with the professionalism that the team has shown on the track and their ethics in the race shop. I’m looking forward to posting great results with the team next year.”

The duo will make their first on-track appearance together when the ARCA Racing Series storms onto the high-banks of Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway for three days of testing in preparation for next year’s season opener beginning on Friday, December 16.

“My heart beat increases just thinking about Daytona,” Graham added. “We’ve been able to purchase some really good racecars from Roush Fenway Racing and with the horsepower from RoushYates Engines, I’m looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish at the test.”

Team owner Howard Bixman is eagerly excited about having Graham joining his two-car operation.

“You cannot overlook what Buster has accomplished in just a short amount of time,” Bixman sounded. “I was able to watch him in the couple of races that he competed in this year and you could easily see the comfort and confidence not only with himself but with the racecar as well. With our resources, we are working hard to give Buster everything he’s looking for and more.”

Batter’s Dream will continue to adorn the role as the primary marketing partner for Graham in 2012.

Batter's Dream is an automated ball feeding system (pitching machine) that allows baseball hitters and softball hitters to maximize time in the batting cage by getting more quality cuts without fixing a tee. One of the key benefits of the Batter's Dream batting machines is that it allows batters the freedom to focus on rhythm, stance, timing and swing speed without the need for a second person. Simply put, Batter's Dream is the most effective, simple and easy-to-use soft toss system ever invented to help improve a hitter's mechanics and increase their batting average.

“Without the help and support of my father in-law Don Mashburn, none of this would be possible,” Graham explained. “We’re working hard on bringing additional marketing partners into the ARCA Racing Series with Team BCR, but we’re eager to keep spreading the word about Batter's Dream and its capabilities.”

With the addition of Graham to the Mooresville, North Carolina’s operation, Team BCR Racing will officially become a two-car operation with the recent announcement of an expanded schedule for 21-year old Charles Evans Jr. in the Elevator Transportation Services / Casite / RoushYatesParts.com Ford Fusion.

“I’m looking forward to working with CJ,” Graham concluded. “I don’t know a lot about him, but from what I hear, he’s a pretty talented driver. I’m looking forward to working with him and learning things together and us representing Team BCR Racing with stellar results on the track.”
