SCHUMACHER TO TEAM 16 On Sunday, January 6th, Sonya & Dan DelCamp announced during the Todd & Eddie Show that Nick Schumacher has been selected to pilot the Team 16 cars at Slinger Speedway, MARS and the NASCAR Autozone Elite Midwest Series. "I am very thankful to Sonya & Dan DelCamp and Team 16 for this opportunity. The DelCamps and Team 16 have become a pillar to Midwest Super Late Model racing. I am extremely excited to work with the entire Team 16, and can't wait for our first race," said Schumacher. Team 16 motorsports and former driver Eric Fransen saw great successes on numerous Midwest ovals. Schumacher commented, "I look forward to building upon the past successes of Team 16. We are going to be very competitive and we are going to win races." Regarding the 2005 race season, Team 16 and Nick Schumacher will run weekly at Slinger Super Speedway for Rookie of the Year.

Since then, Schumacher has raced throughout the upper-Midwest and has accumulated numerous wins and top ten finishes in championship points. "I have always been the owner, manager and driver for my race teams. I am thankful for the opportunity to drive for the DelCamps and Team 16. This will allow me to focus solely on winning races. 2005 will be a great season," commented Schumacher.
