SS Green Light has had many drivers behind the wheel over the last thirteen Camping World Truck Series seasons, but Daytona will mark a first for the veteran team as Michel Disdier a native of Nice, France will take the wheel of the #07 Chevy Silverado for the season opening Nextera Energy Resources 250 on February 21 at the Daytona International Speedway. Disdier is a second-generation driver who has raced throughout Europe in numerous types of vehicles for nearly twenty years. For the last ten years he has been pursuing his dream of becoming a NASCAR championship caliber driver competing on the high-speed tracks in the United States. The French drivers resume is deep; racing or testing in Formula Renault, Formula Ford, Formula 3, Formula 3000, Formula Nissan, Formula France and Ferrari Challenge after his early beginnings racing motorcycles in his homeland. Michel’s first race in North America was in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series back in 2007 and since then the French native has made eleven starts in the ARCA Series over the last six seasons with a best finish of eleventh last year at Daytona. SS Green Light Racing team owner Bobby Dotter brought Disdier to the NASCAR Preseason Thunder test last month where he received his NASCAR approval to race on superspeedways. The veteran owner/crew chief will call the shots for Disdier’s NASCAR super speedway debut at Daytona.(SS Green Light Racing)(2-4-2014)
