TOLEDO OH (6-24-03) Perhaps no other ARCA RE/MAX Series newcomer has made a bigger splash than N. Barrington, Illinois driver Brent Sherman. After posting 2 consecutive runner-up finishes at Berlin and Kansas, Sherman, in his own Serta Mattress-Hickory Farms Ford, has risen to 3rd in national championship point standings behind 4-time champ Frank Kimmel and Jason Jarrett. Coming off a solid 6th place finish at MIS, Sherman has clearly established himself as one to watch week in and week out.............
| In fact, in 10 starts in 2003, the likeable driver has 7 top-10 finishes including a 3rd place run at Nashville and a 4th at Atlanta. Clearly a victory lane candidate, Sherman will none-the-less be up against some very stout competition when he gets his first look at South Boston Speedway for the next event on July 2. |  |
 | The Leslie factor......And of course, behind most good drivers are good crew chiefs. Veteran chief Lee Leslie (left), brother of '88 ARCA champ Tracy Leslie, calls the shots and turns the wrenches on Sherman's #44 Ford Taurus. Apparently, Leslie is turning the wrenches in the right direction. Congrats to the entire team. |
