David Starr Tackles Charlotte Nationwide Race with Cash America and WRL General Contractors
Press Release
Starr, who lives in the shadows of Texas Motor Speedway, will drive the No. 05 Chevrolet at Charlotte, Texas, Phoenix, and Homestead to close out the 2010 season.
“I am really looking forward to this weekend,” Starr said. “I know that Wayne Day and his team work really hard to compete with some of the bigger teams in the series and I have been very proud to have the chance to drive for them this season. The Day Enterprises team has had some really good finishes so far this year. We have four races together to close out the season and I think we should have a great chance to get a good finish at each one of them.”
Cash America is currently in its first season as a NASCAR team sponsor, having sponsored the Whitney Motorsports team in the Sprint Cup Series along with supporting Starr in the Nationwide Series. WRL General Contractors is also making its initial foray into NASCAR racing in 2010, having previously sponsored the Day Enterprises # 05 at Daytona, Indianapolis and Richmond earlier this season.
“We couldn’t be happier being on board with David at Charlotte, Texas, Phoenix, and Homestead,” said Bob Leavine of WRL General Contractors. “David is a great racecar driver and a fine person too. We’ve watched David’s career for some time and we jumped at this chance to support him this year and have been very happy with the results so far. We know it’s tough in the Nationwide Series when you’re up against Sprint Cup teams and drivers, but we know David has what it takes to get up and race for a top-15 finish.”
The Dollar General 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway is scheduled for 8 P.M. Eastern on Friday night. It will be televised live on ESPN2 and broadcast live on select radio affiliates of the Performance Racing Network as well as on Sirius NASCAR Radio Channel 128.
