No. 31 Koike Aronson Chevrolet News and Notes

This Week’s Silverado…The No. 31 Koike Aronson Chevrolet Silverado team will bring chassis TMS-204 to the “Monster Mile” for Friday’s 200-lap race. TMS-204 last saw racing action at Rockingham Speedway, where Buescher crossed the finish line in the runner-up position.

Welcome Aboard… Turner Motorsports welcomes back Koike Aronson Ransome to the No. 31 truck for Friday’s race at Dover International Speedway. Koike Aronson Ransome designs and manufactures one of the world’s broadest lines of welding positioners and thermal cutting products, as well as supplying portable and gas apparatus equipment. The company’s history goes back to 1946 when Chuck Aronson founded the Aronson Machine Company, a welding positioner manufacturer at which he invented and patented positioners that are still used today. In 1985, Koike Sanso Kogyo (est. 1918) of Tokyo, Japan acquired Aronson Machine Company to add a world-class welding positioner line to their well-regarded cutting machine line.

The result was a single company that supplied the market with the best welding positioners and thermal cutting products in the world. Then in 2001, Koike Aronson, Inc. purchased a large competitor, Ransome Company, based in Houston, TX. The acquisition allowed Koike Aronson to offer the most durable, safest and largest variety of positioning equipment ever. Today the company is known as Koike Aronson, Inc.

Not only will he race 200 miles in the No. 31 Koike Aronson Chevrolet on Friday afternoon, but he will also compete in Saturday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series event in the No. 30 AccuDoc Solutions Chevrolet Impala.

James Buescher on driving at Dover International Speedway

“Dover [International Speedway] is one of my favorite stops on the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series schedule. The Koike Chevrolet team always seems to have speed there, which makes my job a bit easier. It is a very fast racetrack and things happen in a spit second. The trucks carry a ton of speed into the corners. In order to be fast, the truck has to really rotate through the corners and carry that momentum onto the straightaways. I am confident in the package we are bringing and look for great things on Friday afternoon.”
