KYLE BUSCH MOTORSPORTS CARRYING STRONG NASHVILLE PRESENCE

Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) will be carrying a strong Nashville presence on Friday night at Nashville Superspeedway. KBM returns to the sight of its first-ever NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win once again sponsored by Goodlettsville, Tenn.-based Dollar General. Their famous yellow and black paint scheme adorns the No. 18 for the third time this season as part of an eight-race sponsorship. In addition, 9-year old Dalton Griffin of Spring Hill, Tenn. will have his name and picture on a decal above the passenger side door of Kyle Busch’s. Toyota Tundra. Griffin was the winner of the “Riding Shotgun With Kyle Busch Motorsports” essay contest for children in the Greater Nashville Area.

KBM HEADS TO THE MUSIC CITY LOOKING FOR ANOTHER NO. 1 HIT FROM ITS LEAD TOYOTA

Just 29 races into its history in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Kyle Busch Motorsports’ resume already features an owners’ championship and 10 victories. Of the 10 wins, chassis KBM-4 has been the Toyota Tundra parked in Victory Lane five times. Built for intermediate tracks, the truck was an immediate hit winning its debut at last year’s May race at Charlotte Motor Speedway with owner/driver Kyle Busch behind the wheel. Busch drove the truck four more times in 2010, registering victories at Chicagoland, Texas and Homestead-Miami. Busch also had the dominant truck at Kentucky before being relegated to a seventh-place finish when the race was decided by fuel strategy. Kasey Kahne drove KBM-4 at Darlington earlier this season, dominating the field en route to his third victory in four career Truck Series starts. Kahne also drove the truck to a second-place finish last July at Pocono.

Kyle Busch

“Dollar General is headquartered in nearby Goodlettsville, Tennessee; so I’ll be headed over to Nashville the middle of the week for some events that are taking place before we get on the track on Friday. They have a big event for employees at their headquarters on Thursday and I look forward to being able to put faces with the names of a few people that I’ve dealt with but haven’t met in person yet. Our first truck series win at KBM came last year at the April Nashville race, so going back brings back great memories. It also happened to be the first time we had Dollar General on the truck, so winning at their home track made it extra special. A repeat performance would be a great way to end an exciting week for KBM and Dollar General.”

KYLE BUSCH ON NASHVILLE SUPERSPEEDWAY

“KBM registered two top-10 finishes in Nashville last year. I won the April race and Brian Ickler finished eighth in the August race. We are going back this year with a setup that we know works. The concrete at Nashville is a little tricky and your truck has to be set up a little bit different than it is for a typical asphalt track. Although it is a mile- and- a- third, it has a short track feel to it. You reach some high speeds off the corners and down the straightaways. Then as you approach the corner, you have to use the brakes to get the truck back underneath you and keep it underneath you.”

CREW CHIEF ERIC PHILLIPS ON CHALLENGE OF ONE-DAY SHOW

“Probably the biggest challenge on Friday is that we practice in the morning, qualify in the late afternoon and then race at night. It’s that time of the year when the weather is starting to get warmer, so the temperature will fluctuate throughout the day. During morning practice, you have to keep in the back of your mind what the truck is going to do at night during the race when the track is cooler.”

PHILLIPS ON KBM’S STRONG START TO THE 2011 SEASON

“We had some changes in personnel this off season, so I’m very pleased with how well we’ve ran to start the season. After you win a championship, especially in your first year, you don’t want to get content. We really emphasized to all of our guys over the winter that we needed to keep working hard. I think how well we’ve performed early this season just proves that everyone at KBM is still working hard to make our trucks better every week.”
