Daytona Beach, FL (December 18, 2009) – Today’s ARCA Series test session at Daytona International Speedway has Alli Owens confident about the season ahead. Owens wrapped up the first day with the third-fastest lap, only topped by her Venturini Motorsports teammates. Owens’s lap was the fastest among the female drivers, as well as the quickest of the Chevrolets participating in the test.

Owens rounded the 2.5-mile speedway in 50.375 seconds. The No. 15 ElectrifyingCareers.com Monte Carlo was only .571 seconds slower than Mikey Kile’s No. 25 car, that posted the quickest lap of the afternoon. Steve Arpin claimed the second fastest time with a lap of 50.098 seconds.

“What a great day,” said Owens following the practice session. “My team has worked so hard in the off-season to prepare my car for the race. They did tons of work at the chassis dyno, the wind tunnel and the pull down rig. Their efforts showed today. My ElectrifyingCareers.com Chevrolet felt really good and has me excited about what’s ahead. I’m confident not just about the race, but about the upcoming season with Venturini Motorsports. We’re off to a great start and the season hasn’t even begun yet.

“Venturini Motorsports claimed the top three positions on the speed charts today. That’s unbelievable. That just shows how strong their superspeedway program is. I wouldn’t be surprised if all of my teammates and I start inside the top-five for the race. I couldn’t ask for a better way to kick things off for 2010.”
