<p>“I’ve talked with a few veterans, asking for some pointers.  The best answer I got was, ‘Don’t hit the wall.’  I hear it’s easy to get yourself into trouble there, so my main goal is to race the track, not the competitor and keep the truck in one piece,” Butler said.</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-34725" style="auto;"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/2010-NCWTS-Brett-Butler.jpg" alt="Brett Butler - Photo Credit: Sam Greenwood / Getty Images for NASCAR" title="Brett Butler - Photo Credit: Sam Greenwood / Getty Images for NASCAR" width="160" height="240" class="alignright size-full wp-image-34725" /><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:160px;">Brett Butler - Photo Credit: Sam Greenwood / Getty Images for NASCAR</div></div>Darlington Raceway is known to deal out it’s infamous Darlington Strip to even the wiliest of veterans; however, Butler has no plans of falling victim to the Lady in Black.</p>
<p>“I’ve been preparing for this race since I first saw it on the schedule.  It’s one of those races that you circle and give a little extra attention to.  It’s not a cookie-cutter track.  I know a large part of Saturday’s race will be about survival, so I’m just looking to gain as much experience as possible.  I think if you attack Darlington looking to set off fireworks and turn heads, that’s when you get yourself into trouble,” Butler explains.</p>
<p>Practice for this event starts at 9:30 am on Saturday, August 14th with qualifying following at 4:00 pm.  The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Too Tough to Tame 200 will be televised live on Speed Channel from the Darlington Raceway in South Carolina on Saturday, August 14th at 7:00 pm EST.   </p>

Butler, driving the #47 Fuel Doctor USA Chevy, was excited about returning to the Nashville Superspeedway.</p>
<p>“When we were here in the spring, we blew a tire on the first lap and had to limp around with a damaged truck for the remainder of the event. We figured the track owed us one,” Butler stated.</p>
<p>Brett qualified the ”Go Green Machine”, in the 33rd position for the running of the O’Reilly 200 event.</p>
<p>“Qualifying has never been our strong suit, so we weren’t too worried about that.  Usually when it’s time to race, we pick up spots rather quickly.”</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-34725" style="auto;"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/2010-NCWTS-Brett-Butler.jpg" alt="Brett Butler - Photo Credit: Sam Greenwood / Getty Images for NASCAR" title="Brett Butler - Photo Credit: Sam Greenwood / Getty Images for NASCAR" width="160" height="240" class="alignright size-full wp-image-34725" /><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:160px;">Brett Butler - Photo Credit: Sam Greenwood / Getty Images for NASCAR</div></div>Butler did just that and quickly moved into the Top 20 before disaster struck once again at Nashville for the youngster.</p>
<p>The master seal let loose on lap 108 and the crew had to take the truck behind the wall to fix it.  </p>
<p>“It’s tough.  We were holding our own there at about 19th when we it happened.  I guess Nashville just isn’t our track this year.”</p>
<p>Brett returned to the track a few laps later and finished in the 25th position on the night.</p>
<p>“We just have to keep digging.  We have the capability to run near the front, we just are not catching any breaks,” stated Butler.</p>

<p>In the race last spring, Butler cut a tire on lap 1, destroying the truck and showering him with fiberglass.  He fought the next 200 miles with an injured truck to finish the entire race.</p>
<p>“The truck was running well that weekend, but we got off to a terrible start. We cut a tire early, and when it was all said and done, I was in the care center being treated for high carbon monoxide levels and stinging from the fiberglass,” Butler said.</p>
<p>This Saturday’s race will be an opportunity for Butler to get the finish he was looking for last spring, but there’s more than just revenge fueling Butler who sits in the top 20 in points.</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-34725" style="auto;"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/2010-NCWTS-Brett-Butler.jpg" alt="Brett Butler - Photo Credit: Sam Greenwood/Getty Images for NASCAR" title="Brett Butler - Photo Credit: Sam Greenwood/Getty Images for NASCAR" width="160" height="240" class="alignright size-full wp-image-34725" /><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:160px;">Brett Butler - Photo Credit: Sam Greenwood/Getty Images for NASCAR</div></div>“We’ve fought hard to put ourselves in the top 20 in points, and I know we’ve got a few guys biting at our heals.  We’re close enough to catch a couple guys in front of us, but the two trucks behind us in points are only 2 points away from passing us.  That’s only one position, so we need to go out and have a sold finish to keep those guys at bay,” Butler explains.</p>
<p>In only his second start ever at Nashville Superspeedway, Butler is determined to make this go-around more fruitful.<br />
“This is my second trip to Nashville.  I know the team is bringing a competitive truck, and I’ll have a better feel for what it needs and how to run the racing line on the track.  This will be a better weekend than we had in the spring.<br />
Guaranteed,” Butler said.</p>
<p>Practice for this event can be seen on Speed Channel at 12:45 am EST on Saturday, August 7th with qualifying following at 5:00.  The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Nashville 200 will be televised live on Speed Channel from the Nashville Superspeedway on Saturday, August 7th at 9:00 pm EST.   </p>

The Georgia native had been steadily inching closer to the Top 15 in Championship points and felt his chances of gaining more ground at Pocono would be in his favor.</p>
<p>Butler qualified the #47 Fuel Doctor USA Chevy in the 30th position during NASCAR’s First, multi-truck qualifying system.  During qualifying, up to three trucks were on the track at the same time, much like road course qualifying.</p>
<p>“Qualifying was neat.  It cut the time down a lot as far as how long it lasts.  No one ever got close enough to draft which makes everything equal.  I think on larger tracks, this might be something we see in the future,” Butler stated.</p>
<p>When the green flag dropped on the Inaugural Pocono Mountains 125, Butler knew he didn’t have much time.  The 50 lap race does not allow much time to be strategic but rather a shootout.</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-34725" style="auto;"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/2010-NCWTS-Brett-Butler.jpg" alt="Brett Butler - Photo Credit: Sam Greenwood/Getty Images for NASCAR" title="Brett Butler - Photo Credit: Sam Greenwood/Getty Images for NASCAR" width="160" height="240" class="alignright size-full wp-image-34725" /><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:160px;">Brett Butler - Photo Credit: Sam Greenwood/Getty Images for NASCAR</div></div>“We picked up some spots quickly but once the trucks got spread out, it is hard to run anyone down,” stated Butler. “We ended up going a lap down but we hung in there waiting for a caution.”</p>
<p>Brett continued to press towards the front and when a caution came out on lap 45, it pulled the entire group back together for one last time and Brett got the “Aarons Lucky Dog Award” to get back on the lead lap.</p>
<p>“These restarts are crazy.  Turn one becomes a traffic jam at 180mph and no one wants to give an inch.  It is fun, but your eyes are glued to the 3 and 4 wide trucks in front of you and what might happen!”</p>
<p>When the checkered flag waved, Butler took his Fuel Doctor USA Chevy home in the 23rd position.</p>
<p>“We maintained our position in the standings and closed in a few more points on some of the leaders.  We will go to Nashville now and look to race well.  Our first outing was not very good when we blew a tire on the first lap and we limped around all day with fiberglass all over the inside of the truck.  I know we can get it done and we now start returning to tracks where I can show what I learned the first time!” Butler commented.</p>
