MARKS ON RETURNING TO RACING AT DAYTONA:

Justin Marks is excited to kick off the 2011 season by returning to the track that produced one of the most memorable races of his career. “I still tell people to this day that one of the most exciting races I’ve ever run in my career was the NCWTS race at Daytona in 2008. Daytona is an amazing track with such a deep history. It’s a unique place to race because it requires such a different approach. Daytona is really such a fitting way to kick off the season in any of the three NASCAR divisions because of its intensity and excitement, more than anything I’m just ready to get our year started.”

MARKS ON HIS OUTLOOK FOR THE RACE:

Daytona is often considered a high speed chess match, and Marks knows the strategy he needs to play. “We have to balance our run for the championship and not putting ourselves in risky situations at Daytona with our desire to try and win our biggest race. Ideally, I’d like to be able to just ride and not get too aggressive until the end. If we can keep ourselves near the front and fenders clean all race, we’ll be able to go the offensive at the end. This race is won by drivers and teams who can get their equipment close to the front at the white flag and then make their move late for the checkered flag.”

TURN ONE RACING WELCOMES GOPRO AS TITLE SPONSOR:

Turn One Racing is pleased to welcome GoPro, the maker of the world’s best selling and highest performance wearable HD video cameras, as the primary sponsor of Marks’ No. 66 Chevrolet. For Marks, the use of GoPro’s products is a no-brainer, with plans to implement the use of GoPro products on his website, JustinMarksRacing.com, as well as various aspects of the team’s every day operations from test sessions to meet-and-greets. An official announcement will be made in the coming weeks.

RACE WINNING CREW CHIEF DOUG WOLCOTT JOINS TURN ONE RACING:

“I think we’re building a really competitive group led by Doug Wolcott,” said Marks of his new leader. “He’s got so much experience and talent and knows how to work with relatively inexperienced drivers. We’re not a big team but what we lack in resources I think we make up for in our people and their work ethic and their desire. The most important thing is what we bring to the racetrack and who brings it and in that department, I’d put us up against any team in the garage.”

CREW CHIEF DOUG WOLCOTT’S CHOICE FOR DAYTONA: Crew Chief Doug Wolcott has selected chassis No. 107 for the 12th Annual NextEra Energy Resources 250. This truck last competed at Talladega Superspeedway in 2010, where it qualified 14th and went on to finish 13th after being caught up in a wreck while running sixth. The truck had a brand new Chevrolet body installed over the off season and it is expected to produce even better results with Marks behind the wheel.
