Carter-2-Motorsports announced today that longtime racecar driver Carl Long will pilot the team’s No. 48 FreeFeds.org Dodge Charger this Friday night in the Gateway ARCA 150 at Gateway International Raceway.

Long is substituting for Carter-2-Motorsports normal driver Dustin Delaney who is forced to sit out Friday’s event since ARCA’s requirement for age to run a speedway event is 18. Delaney has shined in the ARCA series at the age of 17.

Delaney will return to the seat for Monday’s Southern Illinois 100 at DuQuoin State Fairgrounds.

Long has been working with Carter-2-Motorsports for several weeks and car owner Roger Carter is excited about the opportunity to put Long in the ARCA RE/MAX Series.

“It’s a shame that Dustin is unable to compete this weekend, but we are excited about putting a veteran driver like Carl Long behind the wheel. He’ll do an exceptional job for us on Friday night,” Carter said. Crew Chief Jonathan Sykes is equally excited about the opportunity to put a veteran driver behind the wheel.

“Dustin has done an outstanding job, he’ll be back on Monday, but we’re looking forward to giving the reins to Carl to see what he can do. He has a lot of experience in racing and I’m sure the knowledge he’ll bring will not only help this team but Dustin too.”
