Cunningham Motorsports as a team has been, throughout the years, and will continue
to be a very successful team. With an extensive winning history and the drive to
develop young and upcoming talents CMS proves to have plenty of success to come in
the future. Cunningham Motorsports fields teams in the USAC Series with the
Cunningham Juniors, the ARCA REMAX series with Cunningham Motorsports and NACSAR
Craftsmen Truck Series. CMS is the official driver development partner for Penske
Racing and drivers are developed in order to gain experience and knowledge so CMS
can supply these successful drivers to the Penske Racing stables.
Cunningham Motorsports has developed some very talented drivers over the past few
years and will continue their progress in the years to come. In 2008, Tayler Malsam
finished 9th in overall points in the ARCA REMAX series and showed to be a very
impressive driver. The 2006 season produced Chase Miller. Miller won the
ARCA/REMAX series race at Pocono in only his 2nd start to become the youngest
driver to ever win a race at Pocono. Miller went on to compete in a few NASCAR
Craftsmen Truck series races in 06 and moved into the Nationwide Series for the
2007 season. Other drivers that have driven for Cunningham Motorsports are Juan
Pablo Montoya, Scott Lagasse, Jr., Tim Andrews, Chase Miller, Frank Kimmel, Steven
Wallace, Justin Labonte and Rob Bunker.
The 2009 season will bring lots of anticipation and triumph for CMS. Driving the #4
1-800-4-A-PHONE will be Veteran Ken Weaver with experienced crew chief Paul Andrews
calling the shots from the top of the pit box. Andrews, coming recently from a
Petty Enterprises team, brings the knowledge of success and teamwork. Weaver left
the ARCA REMAX series for a few years to take a venture driving in the NASCAR
Craftsmen Truck series but returns to his roots in the ARCA series this year to
drive for Cunningham Motorsports. Teammate and 18 year old Parker Kligerman will
pilot the #77 Cunningham Motorsports Dodge Charger. Kligerman comes up from the
USAC series were he created a very affluent record. Kligerman is a naturally
talented driver that has risen to the occasion quickly. With this being only his
5th year racing Kligerman could move through the ranks at an unfathomable pace.
Other teammate, Nur Ali will be behind the wheel of the #45 A-Z Wholesale Charger.
Ali is the first Pakistani to become a racecar driver and is a former two-time
Southwest Formula Mazda series champion. In 2007, Ali decided to switch over to
stock car racing and after a successful test with Cunningham Motorsports landed a
driving position for the 2008 Daytona ARCA 200 and will continue to drive for CMS in
2009.
