Andy Santerre of Cherryfield hasn’t had much time to enjoy the fact he became the first man to win four consecutive Busch North points championships on Sunday.

That’s because he is preparing three Grizco Racing Monte Carlos, including a backup car, for the third annual Toyota All-Star Showdown on Nov. 10-12 at Irwindale Speedway (Calif.).

In addition to driving, Santerre managed the Concord, N.C.-based Grizco Racing team this season that included full-time driver Mike Stefanik, who finished second in points, and part-time driver Brad Leighton.

The trailer taking the cars will leave Sunday.

“We don’t have much time to prepare. My car was the only one that didn’t sustain any damage last weekend [at Thompson (Conn.) International Speedway],” said Santerre.

The Toyota Showdown could be his last race for quite a while.

He intends to manage the Grizco Racing Team next season but said he may not drive.

He’ll announce his decision at the Busch North banquet on Dec. 17.

“A lot of it hinges on sponsorship opportunities,” said Santerre, who didn’t have a primary sponsor this season, so owners Steve and Peg Griswold sponsored him.

“There are a lot of things I want to do that I haven’t been able to do in the past because I was racing on weekends. I want to spend more time with my family; I want to hunt and fish and attend family reunions and class reunions,” Santerre said. “I’ve missed a lot of friends’ weddings the last 13-14 years. We built a house in St. Agatha and we’d like to spend time up there.”

Santerre said if they go to three full-time teams, “there’s no way I could possibly drive and manage three full-time teams. I wouldn’t have any free time.

“My first responsibility is to manage the team and make sure all the cars are competitive. [Wife] Sue and I also have to make all the travel arrangements and book the hotel rooms for the team members,” he said.

Santerre was pleased with the points title this season and with Stefanik’s second-place finish.

“Our goal was to be first and second, but setting a goal and accomplishing it are two different things,” said Santerre.

Each driver had two wins, Santerre had 11 top-fives and finished in the top 10 in all 13 races, and Stefanik had eight top-fives and 13 top-10s.

“We weren’t dominant, but we were the most consistent, and that’s what wins championships,” added the 37-year-old Santerre.

He likes his chances at Irwindale. He finished second there two years ago and was running first before his car broke down last year.

“It’s the nicest short track [half-mile, semi-banked oval] in the country, by far,” said Santerre. “I’ve got as good a chance as anybody and a better shot than most. We’ll see what we can do.”
