Braun on racing at The Milwaukee Mile:“I am still pinching myself a bit that we finally broke through and
won last weekend. Everyone says the first win is the toughest to get so
I hope they are right. We had a lot of ups and downs before it, so now
I’d just like to keep the momentum going and keep gaining points.
“Milwaukee is a fun track, but it’s also challenging. I ran the
truck and Nationwide races there last year. We had a great run going in
the truck race but got caught up in someone else’s accident which tore
up our truck pretty badly. We ran in the top three for the first half of
the race, so hopefully this time we can do it again, but avoid the bad
luck.”
Crew chief Mike Beam on racing at The Milwaukee Mile:
“Now that Colin has his first win I’m hoping they come a lot more
easily. After a top five in Texas and a win at Michigan I feel really
good about the direction this team is heading. We gained a bunch of
points this week which was exactly what we needed.
There is a lot of
racing left to do this season and I know we are capable of more wins.
We’re taking the same truck we raced in Milwaukee last year, but
hopefully with a better outcome this time.”

- Braun will be racing chassis RK-55 at Milwaukee. This truck has not
been raced since last year at Phoenix, but the team tested it earlier

key statistical category. He has a driver rating of 95.5 (sixth-best),
