Chris Lawson Looking to Make Second Nationwide Start in Bristol
Press Release(Mooresville, NC) This weekend Chris Lawson will be attempting his second NASCAR Nationwide Series start at Bristol Motor Speedway behind the wheel of Jimmy Means’ No. 52 Ford.
This marks the duo’s fifth Nationwide attempt over the past three years. The team always has the challenge of qualifying in on time due to lack of owner points. Last season Chris made his Nationwide series debut at O’Reilly Raceway Park. In Phoenix the team missed the race by only two one-thousandths of a second, after picking up over 1.5 seconds from practice.
This weekend the No. 52 Ford will have the power of a Roush Yates engine under the hood. “Over the past few months we have been working hard to change some things in order to better our chances of making the race,” says Chris.
The duo is very optimistic about the weekend and feels they have been moving in the right direction. If all goes well, Means and Lawson hope to come together for several more events.
This weekend’s race coverage begins Friday with practice sessions at 1:40 p.m. and 4:45 p.m. Qualifying starts Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. and the green flag drops for The Scott’s Turf Builder 300 at 2:30 p.m., live on ABC.
