STACY COMPTON ON RACING IN KENTUCKY:

“I’m really excited to go to Kentucky. That place has been pretty good to me. I got a pole there in a (NASCAR) Nationwide car, and have always run pretty well there. Combined with having 300-400 people show up between the Wyler’s and SafeAuto, it’s going to be a busy week. We’re doing an appearance at the Wyler’s (dealership) on Thursday, and then going to the Cincinnati Reds game later that night. It’s going to be a lot of fun. We will have a chance to spend a little time with all the people who support us and who have helped us. A lot of times when you’re at the race track, you don’t get a chance to do that. It’s going to be fun, and it’s going to be busy, but hopefully it will be an excellent weekend.”

DAVID WYLER ON RACING AT “HOME”:

“I think everybody’s got a home track, and for us, this is our home track – Kentucky Speedway,” said David Wyler, President of Wyler Racing. “We’re going to have a few hundred of our family, our employees, and our friends there. The track is a half-hour outside of where we live and it’s really special for us that we can have the race team come up so close to home and that everyone who is so close to us and our friends, family, and our co-workers can see firsthand why we love the sport of NASCAR so much.”

THE CREW CHIEF’S CHOICE FOR KENTUCKY:

Marcus Richmond, Crew Chief of the No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance Company / Wyler.com Toyota Tundra, has selected chassis number 84 for The Built Ford Tough 225. This chassis was virtually rebuilt after last being raced in 2008. “This truck has an all new body on it, and is just like new,” said Crew Chief, Marcus Richmond. “It’s definitely a better truck compared to anything else that we have. We’ve taken this truck to the wind tunnel and the pull down rig at TRD, and we’ve learned a lot of stuff. Hopefully that will translate to a good finish at Kentucky.”

Compton grabbed the pole for the NNS race there in 2003, and went on to post his career-best performance at the Sparta oval with a fourth place finish overall.
