Lee Faulk Racing was particularly pleased with the 5th spot on the grid – among the 23 cars that entered the race – gained by the driver from Bologna on his first qualifying session with the Hoosier tires. Davide impressed everyone with a strong top 5 qualifying effort.» said Micheal Faulk, Vice President of the team. He has shown great improvement in the few short races we have had together. Then to finish the night with a top 10 finish with no damage was equally as impressive.
We are looking forward to the bright future ahead with Davide.” After a good start, Davide kept his position without forcing the pace, but in the late stages of the race he had a couple of issues with lapped cars, mostly due to his relative inexperience in traffic, and had to settle for the eight position overall. I had a clean start and a good pace throughout the race explained the Italian. But on the last lap, I choose the outside lane to overtake a lapped car. Unfortunately he went to the outside too and I had to lift, leaving room for the cars that were following me. I want to be honest: I felt a bit disappointed because I could have done better, both in qualify and in the race, and I’m very demanding with myself. But Lee Faulk’s enthusiasm made me see the glass half-full, because this is a good result that gives us confidence for the rest of the season. I still have a lot to learn, I need to improve in traffic, but the pace is there and I can’t wait to race
again this Saturday.
The #11 Chevrolet Impala O.P.M./Biancko/Siri/Roven is fast and we’re working to build a strong relationship, something for the future. Davide’s next race, the UARA 150 laps Late Model race, will take place at the Hickory Motor Speedway on Saturday, March 23rd.
About Davide Amaduzzi
Davide Amaduzzi was born in Bologna, where he actually lives, on August 4, 1972 and is engaged. He’s a true, old-style professional racer, who has run wherever there was a chance to be competitive. He began in karting, which he still practices to keep himself trained and for the driving pleasure it gives. Satisfying his passion for travel, he raced all over the world, from Canada to France to Australia, and in different categories, starting with open-wheelers such as Formula 3, Formula Renault, Formula Barber Dodge and Australian Formula 3000, before switching to GT racing and drive for brands like Porsche, BMW, Corvette, Lamborghini and Ferrari. In 2010 he made his debut in the ARCA Truck Series, taking part in two races for Wilson Motorsports and achieving a seventh place at Salem, IN, on his second appearance. Outside racing, Davide works as a sport driving instructor for former Formula 1 driver Sieghfried Stohr. He is also a sports enthusiast and train himself thoroughly by running (he completed the New York marathon twice), swimming and skiing. Davide radically changed the path of his career again in 2012, when he decided to devote himself to NASCAR and stock-car racing by starting a three-year plan aimed at debuting in one of three top NASCAR series by 2014. He loves the sea and if he should move to the U.S. he would want to live near the ocean. He loves to fly and in the future would like to earn a pilot’s license. He speaks English French and is studying Spanish. He has a deep interest in psychology and would like to obtain a degree in the field.
