Alex Tagliani Sticking With 22 Racing

MILVERTON, Ontario – Alex Tagliani will remain with 22 Racing to pilot the No. 18 EpiPen/Lowes/St-Hubert/Spectra Premium entry in the NASCAR Pinty’s Series next year.

Since Tagliani joined the 22 Racing team to compete in the NASCAR Pinty’s Series he has posted five wins, four poles, 16 top-five 32 top-10 finishes.

“Alex is a fierce competitor and is always working hard to improve himself and his team,” said team owner Scott Steckly. “We look forward to seeing Alex on the podium with checkered flags again in 2018.”

“I’m very excited to be back with 22 Racing next year,” said Tagliani, a former Indianapolis 500 polesitter. “It will be five years together as a team, so it is like a big family now and I enjoy working with the crew as they have become my friends. They are a reflection of Scott who is a great guy and a fantastic team owner and we have done a lot together. We have managed to break a track record in NASCAR by lapping the entire field on an oval track and we finally won GP3R together with Tyler Case as my crew chief, something he wanted to do for a long time as well.

“In motorsport everybody is seeking for continuity and stability and I think we have managed this with the help of amazing sponsors like EpiPen, Lowes, Spectra Premium & St Hubert so we are excited to be able to continue our race program. 2017 was not the season we wanted because after the 2016 season having run for a championship we had high hopes. We had a lot of bad luck this year. We didn’t capitalize on the races we were strong as I made 2 mistakes, so not a clean season but I think we have the potential to run strong. It should be an exciting winter knowing we are going to push hard for a championship in 2018. There is still more news to come but exciting day when you know you are going to work with the same group of people again.”
