Sean Bellemeur Pomona preview

New D-7 Champ Aims for One More Trophy

ANAHEIM, CA — Newly crowned NHRA Pacific Division 7 champion, Sean Bellemeur, comes into the final race of 2007 with some unfinished business. Auto Club Raceway at Pomona was the site of his debut in the Meer Homes Top Alcohol Funny Car this past February and he just missed a trip to the winner’s circle. As the successful 2007 season comes to a close, Sean occupies the number-three spot in NHRA’s national point standings to complement his Division 7 championship. Bellemeur mentioned, “This is a top-quality operation and the whole team is responsible for our success. The media always looks at the driver, but when your car owner and crew chief work so well together and the whole team strives for perfection; good things are bound to happen.”

Crew chief, Bob DeVour, noted, “We ran well in Dallas and we’ll pull into Pomona with everything the same. Looking back at my notes, we changed a lot of things on this car since February. It’s nothing major, but several little things contribute to the way this car has performed.” Car owner, Ron Meer, added, “We were off just a little on our Dallas tune-up, but we’ll just do our normal deal in Pomona and see how things shake out. We’re cautiously confident, but it would be nice to finish the year in strong fashion.”

Although he was certainly not a rookie as the season began, Sean Bellemeur’s first year piloting the Meer Homes Top Alcohol Funny Car was special. Team chemistry and camaraderie played a big part, as these veterans took on all comers and gained national recognition one race at a time.

Ron Meer Motorsports sends special thanks to Randy Anderson, Chase Knight at Crane Cams, Gary and David Sumek of Lenco, Brian Scollon at GRP, Mike Gruber from Valvoline and Bud from Pendarvis Manufacturing.
