Team: No. 16 Con-way Freight Ford Fusion

Race: Dollar General 300 – Chicagoland Speedway

Crew Chief: Rick Viers

Chassis: RK- 356

FAST FACTS:

ANOTHER SOLID RUN - The No. 16 team put forth another solid effort with
a top-10 run at Daytona International Speedway last weekend with Brian
Ickler behind the wheel. Ickler started 18th and finished a career-high
ninth after a green-white-checkered finish sent the race into overtime.
The No. 16 team has secured a top-12 finish in five of its last seven
starts.

BRAUN IS BACK - Colin Braun returns to the No. 16 Con-way Freight Ford
this weekend for a six race stint. In his last four races, Braun has
two top-10s and an average finish of 10.8. With the help of teammates
Brian Ickler and Matt Kenseth, the No. 16 car is currently 18th in owner
points, the highest it has been all season.

BRAUN AT CHICAGOLAND – His start this weekend at the 1.5-mile track
will mark Braun’s first in the Nationwide Series. He has made one
previous start at Chicagoland in the Camping World Truck Series last
season and finished third after starting 10th.

ROUSH FENWAY RACING AT CHICAGOLAND – In 26 Nationwide Series starts,
Roush Fenway Racing has eight top-fives, 13 top-10s, two pole awards and
220 laps led. Like Daytona International Speedway, Chicagoland is one
of four active tracks on the Nationwide Series circuit where Roush
Fenway has yet to score a win.

CHICAGOLAND CHASSIS SELECTION - Crew chief Rick Viers has selected
RK-356 for this weekend’s Dollar General 300 at Chicagoland Speedway.
This is the same chassis Braun raced to top-10 finishes at both Kentucky
Speedway and Dover International Speedway earlier this season.

“I think Chicago is going to be a really good place for me to get
back in the No. 16 Con-way Freight Ford. Thanks to a great finish by
Brian (Ickler) last weekend, we have moved up further in the owner’s
point standings and are that much closer to reaching our goal. I had a
really good run in the Truck Series here last year and I think I can
build on that for this year. The car we are bringing this weekend has
been really good to me and I would like to continue the streak of
top-10s we’ve had with it.”

Crew chief Rick Viers, on going to Chicago and working with Colin
Braun:

“I’m really looking forward to the next six races with Colin in the
car. And after last week’s finish with Brian (Ickler) we are that
much closer to reaching one of our goals of moving into the top-15 and
working hard to reach the top-10. Colin and I like Chicagoland a lot and
think it will be a great track for us to be very competitive at this
weekend.”
