Santerre finds ride for Busch circuit

“Cherryfield’s Andy Santerre has a ride for his first season on the Busch Grand National South circuit next year. After a lucrative deal with a team owned by a NASCAR Winston Cup driver fell through due to lack of sponsorship, Santerre signed a one year deal with a first time owner. The 29-year old Santerre said he could not divulge the name of the owner at this time, but he is pleased with the arrangement. Monro Muffler-Brake Service of Rochester, N.Y., will sponsor Santerre for approximately $1.5 million, but Santerre said they are still looking for associate sponsors.”(Larry Mahoney, Bangor Daily News-Thanks Phil)(12-20-97)
