Altamonte Springs, FL/March 20, 2012 – P1Groupe represented driver Tim Bell gets set to ink a new chapter in his young racing career this coming weekend as he prepares for his Limited Late Model debut in Creation Cope Racing’s Extreme Bidder Chevrolet Impala at Caraway Speedway. The Spring Classic 500 marks the opening of the 2012 season at Caraway Speedway, as well as Bell’s first official start with Creation Cope Racing.
