Stacy Compton

“We’re taking the same truck to Nashville that we ran at Kentucky. We were really strong there, and we feel like we’ll have just as strong of a package at Nashville. Nashville is a really fast track and you can create speed at the exit of the corners. If you can get back on the throttle early in the corner, you’re going to be fast going down the straightaway.”

COMPTON TO PARTICIPATE IN NASH-CAR PARTY:

Stacy Compton is one of several NASCAR drivers taking part in an unprecedented event on Thursday, July 30th to benefit the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. This first ever “NASH-Car” will take place at the Wildhorse Saloon and will feature NASCAR drivers, a true Music City jam featuring Billy Reasons, Steve McGranahan – The World’s Strongest Redneck, and an exclusive display of NASCAR haulers. The No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance Toyota Tundra will even be on display. A limited number of exclusive VIP packages are available and will include premium seating as well as a VIP Meet & Greet with the artists and drivers. To purchase tickets, please visit ticketmaster.com. There will also be a silent auction featuring NASCAR memorabilia including race used sheet metal and autographed items. The festivities begin at 5 p.m.

THE CREW CHIEF’S CHOICE FOR NASHVILLE:

Marcus Richmond, Crew Chief of the No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance Company / Wyler.com Toyota Tundra, has selected chassis number 84 for the Toyota Tundra 200. This chassis was last raced at Kentucky Speedway where it qualified sixth and was charging to the front before being taken out while battling for second place. Compton rallied back to finish 12th, despite having a damaged truck. Since the truck ran so well, Richmond immediately sent it to the fabricator who repaired it to race at Nashville.
