January 11, 2011 –</strong> SS Green Light Racing is pleased to announce that Matt Faulkner has joined the organization as a team engineer for the 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Season. </p>
<p>The native of Memphis, TN earned his engineering degree from Brigham Young University and has worked for several top NASCAR teams including Kyle Busch Motorsports where he was part of the 2010 NCWTS Owners Championship team. “I really enjoyed being part of Kyle’s championship team last year, winning eight races was really cool,” Faulkner said. “I’m really looking forward to my new opportunity at SS Green Light Racing. I think this will be a fun and exciting challenge to help a team that is already on the rise improve to the next level and be able to compete for victories on a weekly basis.”</p>
<p>Growing up, Faulkner watched NASCAR races on television with his father and that motivated him to study engineering and join the NASCAR fraternity. Since moving to Mooresville area, his versatility has earned him the nickname “Slash” from his friends in the NCWTS garage. “I was asked what my duties were a few years back and I answered, a fabricator/engineer/mechanic/do it all guy. From then on I’ve been known as slash!” he joked.</p>
<p>Faulkner spent several season behind the wheel of a late model while attending BYU and he feels having some real world experience behind the wheel helps to understand what the driver is looking for in the handling of the race truck. “It was never my aspiration to be a race car driver, but I felt it was something that would help me to understand the engineering side better as my career progressed.”</p>
<p>At SS Green Light Racing, Faulkner will be reunited with Crew Chief Jason Miller. The pair previously worked with David Starr at HT Motorsports during parts of the 2008 and 2009 seasons. “I can’t be more excited to have Slash join us this year. We communicate very well and he’s a real team player. His experience will help both of our race teams.”</p>
<p>Faulkner is married and has twin one-year old sons. “I really enjoy the boys, but they are a handful getting into everything. They tell me it gets worse when they turn two, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.” </p>
<p>SS Green Light Racing co-owner Bobby Dotter is excited to have Faulkner join the SS Green Light team, “We feel that Slash has a lot to offer to our race teams. Not only his engineering skills, but also his experience and versatility will help us bring the No. 81 and No. 07 teams to the next level. Ken (Smith) and I feel he is a great addition to our team.”</p>
<p>Sponsorship and driver announcements for the SS Green Light Racing team will be released in the coming weeks before the season opener at Daytona on February 18, 2011. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>MARTINSVILLE, VA., (November 23, 2009) –</strong> HT Motorsports, which consists of the No. 24 and No. 25 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Teams, trimmed employees on Monday for the winter months due to the current economic climate.  Jim Harris, owner of HT Motorsports, took the measures until more substantial sponsorship is confirmed.  </p>
<p>“We are still beating the bushes and have a lot of things in the works,” said Harris.  “But the best thing for us all to do right now is cut back until those things come to fruition.  We have a lot to offer a company who sponsors our team and with the proper tools in place we can make a great run for victories, or even the championship.”  </p>
<p>David Starr finished ninth in the NCWTS points standings in the No. 24 Zachry / HT Motorsports Toyota Tundra.  The No. 25 HT Motorsports Toyota Tundra was driven by Terry Cook for most of the 2009 season, until Mike Bliss filled in the final two races.  That team finished 14th in the points standings.  </p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong> 4th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with the way you ended your 2009 season tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;What a way to end a year with this <a href="http://www.Strutmasters.com ">Strutmasters.com </a> Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra.  It&#8217;s just awesome to end a year on this note right here.  We looked to stay out and we didn&#8217;t have anything to lose.  We were gambling to see if we could get us another victory but I tried to get the tires as clean as I could and I spun them a little bit.  A rookie mistake on my part. I&#8217;ve got to thank Chad Kendrick (crew chief) and everybody on this team.  They do a great job.  From where we started at Daytona not knowing if we could make it past Martinsville.  Tom DeLoach (Red Horse Racing, team owner) gave me an awesome opportunity to be here.  <a href="http://www.trustmasters.com">Strustmasters.com,</a> Toyota, Toyota, Toyota &#8212; I can&#8217;t thank those guys enough.  I&#8217;m<br />
looking forward to next season.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How did your truck handle during the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was good for us.  Our <a href="http://www.Strutmasters.com">Strutmasters.com</a> Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra was good right off the lift gate.  We made a gamble there at the end to stay out thinking some people would stay out with us but everybody came in.  Chad Kendrick (crew chief) did a great job.  The whole team &#8212; considering where we started at in Daytona not knowing that I could make it past Martinsville.   I don&#8217;t know where we ended up in points but we had a good finish and got us a win this year.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-medium wp-image-29039" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/TimothyPeters.jpg"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/TimothyPeters-149x210.jpg" alt="Timothy Peters (Photo Credit: John Harrelson/Getty Images for NASCAR)" title="Timothy Peters (Photo Credit: John Harrelson/Getty Images for NASCAR)" width="149" height="210" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-29039" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:149px;">Timothy Peters (Photo Credit: John Harrelson/Getty Images for NASCAR)</div></div><strong>Why did those trucks beat you on that final restart?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;They had fresh tires.  Everybody came down pit road and we were just the lonely sole out there.  But all in all it was a<br />
good day.  I&#8217;m just ecstatic.  When we joined Red Horse Racing we were 19th in drivers points and I think we ended up<br />
around seventh.  It&#8217;s been an awesome year and I&#8217;m ready to go to Daytona.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What happened on the final restart?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;When you race with these guys you learn a lot and (Kevin) Harvick is the best of the best.  I cleaned my tires off but<br />
evidentially it wasn&#8217;t enough.  I made a rookie mistake and spun them too much, but he had new tires and was going to go<br />
by us in turn one anyway.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-16692" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bodine.jpg"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bodine.jpg" alt="Todd Bodine" title="Todd Bodine" width="183" height="200" class="alignright size-full wp-image-16692" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:183px;">Todd Bodine</div></div><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong> 5th</p>
<p><strong>What happened from your viewpoint on the &#8216;green-white-checkered&#8217; finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The truck series usually is pretty crazy with the green-white-checkered.  Before the caution came out we had the fastest<br />
truck on the track.  We were just so far back, we were running seventh, so we decided to come in, put two tires on and gain<br />
a little track position.  We pumped the right front tire up a little too high and it pushed too much in the last two laps.  We<br />
still gained two spots.  Copart and everybody, I really appreciate what they&#8217;ve done for us this year in getting us through the<br />
year with their sponsorship.  It&#8217;s typical Germain Racing &#8212; we just never give up.  We started the season with a win at<br />
Daytona with no sponsor on the truck and we made it through the season with the help of Copart, Ventrillo and Lumber<br />
Liquidators.  It was a tough year, but we got through.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What were you adjusting in your truck when you lifted the hood halfway through the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The first set of tires, we corded the inside pretty bad.  I think it was really the right call to come in and adjust it so we<br />
didn&#8217;t blow it out.  We didn&#8217;t need to finish in the back &#8211; we needed to keep the points up to finish fourth in points.  It really<br />
didn&#8217;t help it drive any better, but it definitely saved the tire and kept us in front of Johnny (Sauter) for fourth in points.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-5391" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-5-truck.jpg"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-5-truck.jpg" alt="No. 5 Exide Batteries Toyota Tundra" title="No. 5 Exide Batteries Toyota Tundra" width="240" height="160" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5391" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:240px;">No. 5 Exide Batteries Toyota Tundra</div></div><strong>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 Exide Batteries Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong> 6th</p>
<p><strong>What happened from your viewpoint on the &#8216;green-white-checkered&#8217; finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That was crazy and that cost us a spot right there.  I didn&#8217;t know if I was supposed to come on pit road or not.  Just had a<br />
lot of confusion going on with the radio right there.  We had about a fourth or fifth-place truck and we lost a couple spots<br />
right there at the end.  We&#8217;ve got a good race team and we&#8217;ve got a lot to build on.  I&#8217;m proud to be driving a Toyota Tundra<br />
and I can&#8217;t wait till Daytona.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;It was a great season and I really felt like I would have liked to have finished a little better last night.  I thought that we<br />
might have had a little better truck.  Eric (Phillips, crew chief) did a good job, the pit crew did a fantastic job &#8211; I don&#8217;t think<br />
the driver did that good of a job tonight.  I kept overdriving the corners and trying to get grip that just wasn&#8217;t there.  Tim<br />
Fedewa did a great job spotting, he kept trying to get me to slow down in the corner.  When I would slow down getting in<br />
the corner, I would run really good laps and we had a really good truck.  Got to work on the driver a little bit with these tires<br />
that are like this.  Goodyear does a great job and I know they&#8217;ll get us better stuff next year.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  2nd</p>
<p><strong>How was your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We weren&#8217;t as good as the 4 (Kevin Harvick).  We did the best that we can and that&#8217;s all that we could come home with.<br />
He (Kevin Harvick) kicked our butt pretty bad last year and we got a gain on it this year and that gain right there, we need<br />
another one and we&#8217;ll be able to keep up with them or try to at least beat him.  We kept up with him tonight but needed a<br />
little more.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you feel that you had a race-winning truck tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t have enough for the (Kevin) Harvick trucks tonight.  (Ron) Hornaday kind of battled for a championship, played<br />
it smart and (Kevin) Harvick was really fast like I said before.  We came home second.  It was a good day for the<br />
Miccosukee Toyota Tundra.  We gained from last year.  (Kevin) Harvick whooped our butt pretty bad last year but we<br />
gained on it a little bit.  If we had another gain like that we probably would be able to keep up with him or win.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you feel like Kevin Harvick had a big advantage over you?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t bad, it was about what I expected.  I expected the 4 (Kevin Harvick) truck to be really, really good in which he<br />
was.  I guess he wasn&#8217;t driving in the beginning of the race.  He was just holding back seeing what everybody had.  Our<br />
truck was good.  We made a gain on it from last year to this year distancewise from (Kevin) Harvick.  Harvick was just<br />
stupid fast last year.  This year I felt like we made a gain.  If we can make another one of those gains next year then we&#8217;ll be<br />
right on him.  Overall, the Miccosukee Tundra was good.  We led some laps and tried to go for the win but just didn&#8217;t quite<br />
have enough on those restarts there.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Do you think the 51 truck has a chance at winning the owner&#8217;s championship next weekend?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t close the gap, I&#8217;ve got to take that gap.  They&#8217;re going to race next week hard as ever.  They&#8217;re going to go and try<br />
to win the race.  That&#8217;s going to be the plan.  They&#8217;ve got the driver&#8217;s championship locked up so if they go out there and<br />
try to win the race and are successful at that then we can&#8217;t catch them.  But if they go out there and try to win the race and<br />
have problems by having issues whether it&#8217;s a wreck or engine or a tire &#8211; it could be anything.  That&#8217;s why we race races.<br />
Hopefully we can battle it out and have a good, strong run and see if we can&#8217;t beat them.  Sixty points, I don&#8217;t know how<br />
many spots that is but I take it that it&#8217;s probably 17 or so.  So it&#8217;s going to be hard to do.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 3rd</p>
<p><strong>How did your truck handle during the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We had a good truck.  Doug George (crew chief) and everybody on this AK Awareness.com Tundra did a really good job.<br />
I don&#8217;t know what it&#8217;s going to take to get one of these ones.  It&#8217;s not for a lack of effort.  I can promise you that.<br />
Everybody is racing their hearts out.  Our truck just wasn&#8217;t very good on short runs and for whatever reason that last set of<br />
tires didn&#8217;t take off very good for us.  It was really tight &#8211; that last set of tires.  We chattered the right front for quite a while<br />
and just couldn&#8217;t ever take off.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How was your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a fun race tonight.  The race track widened out.  You could run two-wide pretty good.  The bottom lane was<br />
definitely preferred but you could move around.  It was a good race.  I&#8217;m just still disappointed, man, I want to get one of<br />
these wins some kind of bad.  We tried, we raced our butts off and we came home third.  That was what we had tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Was your truck better on the short or long runs tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t very good on short runs.  We struggled yesterday on short runs, too, in practice and for whatever reason it just<br />
wouldn&#8217;t take off.  We chattered the right front, chattered the right front and finally it would come in and take off and it<br />
would go pretty good.  I&#8217;m really proud of everybody at Billy Ballew Motorsports.  Doug George (crew chief) and all of the<br />
guys on this AK Awareness Tundra have been doing a great job.  We just came up short.  I&#8217;m going to win one of these<br />
races one of these days.  We just keep coming up short but it&#8217;s not for lack of effort.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How has your team progressed over the season?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Our team has really stepped their game up.  We bring trucks to the race track every single weekend and they&#8217;re capable of<br />
winning and I think we&#8217;ve proved that.  Talladega we ran one-two and unfortunately I was second.  Texas we had a top-<br />
five, top-three truck and I lost power steering about lap 35 and then here again we had another good truck and led laps and<br />
ran upfront but just couldn&#8217;t seem to seal the deal.  I&#8217;m very proud of everything that everybody&#8217;s got going on at Billy<br />
Ballew Motorsports.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m very happy that Graceway Pharmaceuticals have come onboard and helped us get through the end<br />
of the year, but the Gods honest truth about next year, I have no clue.  Last year, two years ago, I probably would&#8217;ve felt<br />
like a little bit of an outcast and felt like the minority going to Homestead next week and not having any idea what I&#8217;m<br />
doing next year but for whatever the case may be whether it&#8217;s the economy, whether it&#8217;s just people not sure of what&#8217;s<br />
going on, I really feel like the majority.  It seems like half of the garage in all three series are really unsure on their 2010<br />
plans.  There&#8217;s a lot of uncertainty going into next year and I just seem to be a part of that.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  6th</p>
<p><strong>Were you not feeling well during tonight&#8217;s race at Phoenix?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I got the creeping crud.  It started a couple of days ago and my doctor has got me on all kinds of antibiotics and Prednisone<br />
and everything else to try to keep me alive so I could run this race.  Our Exide Tundra was awfully, awfully loose.  I don&#8217;t<br />
know what happened to the truck I had yesterday.  After the race, Eric (Phillips, crew chief) told me he freed it up this<br />
morning and didn&#8217;t tell me about it.  We need to communicate a little better on stuff like that.  Once he got it tightened back<br />
up, I wish I could have started the race like I ended the race because I think we probably could have gotten a few more<br />
spots.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did being sick tonight make this a difficult race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, any time you&#8217;re sick, your focus is off and your reactions are off.  I was burning up hot one second and freezing cold<br />
the next.  My nose is running all down my mouth &#8211; it&#8217;s just not pretty when you&#8217;re sick.  That&#8217;s why drivers make more<br />
than mechanics because we have to be able to do that and we have to play hurt sometimes.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>MIKE BLISS, No. 25 Harris Trucking Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 7th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was alright, it was kind of uneventful.  We took four (tires) at first and then we took two at the end.  We were kind of<br />
just sliding around at the end, but this place is always like that the last 50 laps.  It never goes that long.  We kind of counted<br />
on that.  It was a good run.  I&#8217;m really happy I got to run this Toyota Tundra and it was a good solid run for us.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  9th</p>
<p><strong>Are you disappointed with your finish tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I am.  We keep working hard.  We didn&#8217;t have the best truck tonight.  Our Zachry Toyota Tundra was just okay.  We got it<br />
better towards that second practice yesterday.  Jason Miller, our crew chief, found something.  It just wasn&#8217;t where it needed<br />
to be.  We had some great pit stop strategy and with a lot of heart and hard work, we never gave up.  We came out with a<br />
decent finish.  Top-10s is a good thing, but we shoot for a lot better than that.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What do you think about both HT Motorsports Tundras being in the top 10?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s a good thing.  That&#8217;s what we shoot for, we want both trucks in the top five and top 10.  It was good to see us both<br />
right there close to each other.  We just needed to be a little bit further up the pecking charts.  Not bad for a seventh and<br />
ninth but we&#8217;re definitely working harder to get closer to that number one spot.  With the way our truck was handling and<br />
everything we had to fight against, it was almost like a win for us.  You never get enough until you win these races, so we&#8217;ll<br />
just keep striving and working hard to do that and that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to keep doing.&#8221;</p>

He is a huge advocate for the NCWTS series and we wish him the best in his racing career.”  </p>
<p><strong>Mike Bliss on Phoenix International Raceway:</strong> “Phoenix (International Raceway) always proves to put on a good show in the Truck Series.  Even though it is a short track, Phoenix gives you plenty of room to pass and maneuver down the straightaways.  It’s easy to get caught up in someone else’s mess at PIR but it actually gives you more time to react there than the other short tracks on the series.  I have a lot of fun racing in Phoenix so I am looking forward to racing there for HT Motorsports.”</p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 1st</p>
<p><strong>How do you feel about how tonight&#8217;s race worked out?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s cool man.  What a Tundra tonight, man.   This Miccosukee / Graceway Pharmaceuticals Tundra was awesome and<br />
Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and these guys have really done their homework lately.  It&#8217;s an accomplishment to beat the 33<br />
(Ron Hornaday, Jr.) bunch here, that&#8217;s for sure.  We got it done today.  You know, it was a lot of fun.  The 88 (Matt<br />
Crafton) &#8212; man, I hate seeing the 88 finish second.  I really wish he could get a win.  I thank the fans for coming out<br />
tonight.  It was a great race.  Thank NOS Energy Drink and all these guys on this pit crew &#8212; Billy Ballew Motorsports.  I&#8217;m<br />
pretty proud accomplishment to be here &#8212; five in a row.  That&#8217;s pretty sweet.  Undefeated back with Richie (Wauters, crew<br />
chief) &#8212; that&#8217;s what&#8217;s even more fun.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What are your chances of winning all three races this weekend?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I hope I didn&#8217;t screw it up for tomorrow.  I&#8217;ve never won here in a truck, but I won the Nationwide races here in the past<br />
three times.  So, looking to try to get the Nationwide win tomorrow.  Dave (Rogers, crew chief) and all the guys on the<br />
M&#038;M&#8217;s Camry will be working hard tomorrow during &#8216;Happy Hour.&#8217;  Try to get us something capable enough of running<br />
up front on Sunday.  We&#8217;ll see what we can get.  It would be pretty awesome to get them all three done here at Texas.  I<br />
wanted to win a truck race here for a long time &#8212; so this is pretty cool.  As soon as I get a Cup win &#8212; another one we can<br />
notch off the list.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you have it when you needed it at the end?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, we did.  We made some good changes on this Miccousukee Tundra today and really brought the thing to life.  I&#8217;m<br />
really proud of Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and all these guys.  This is an awesome race truck.  This is the same one<br />
(truck) we won with at Chicago.  We&#8217;ve got a match to number 11 (chassis).  This is (number) 32 here, 11 was always our<br />
chassis that kicked butt, so now we found another one.  All these guys, they do a great job.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Are your trucks good every time you come to the track?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;For sure.  You know, I really look forward to working with these guys and Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and everybody<br />
that works so hard on this truck.  We&#8217;ve got a lot of guys that probably don&#8217;t make a whole lot of money, but they dig in<br />
real deep and they don&#8217;t quit.  They don&#8217;t go home at five &#8211; they stay late.  That&#8217;s what it takes in this sport.  The dedication<br />
and the people to make it happen.  These guys here, they&#8217;ve been dedicated.  They really work their butts off &#8212; it&#8217;s starting<br />
to prevail for them.  We&#8217;ve got five in a row now with myself and it&#8217;s a total of seven wins for Billy (Ballew, team owner).&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you run the truck pretty hard at the end and wear down the right front tire?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, I did.  I was trying to stay away from the 88 (Matt Crafton) catching me &#8212; I was trying to stay away from him.  He<br />
was running me down.  He had a great truck.  I hat seeing Matt (Crafton) finish second.  He needs a win in this deal and<br />
especially to me.  We&#8217;re pretty good friends.  I wish I could pull over and give it to him, but that wouldn&#8217;t be racing.  Again,<br />
I had to run hard and I ended up pushing the right front tire off for a little bit too much, probably.  It lasted just enough,<br />
man.  Those lapped trucks that I had to get by in the last 10, 12, 15 laps, whatever it was &#8211; really hurt our performance of<br />
the truck and so we were fairly able to hold off the 88 (Matt Crafton) &#8211; which is cool.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Are the Toyotas getting better gas mileage than the other trucks?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Chevrolet and Ford lobbied for Toyota to get a smaller plate and it helped our fuel mileage.  So, thanks guys.  That&#8217;s all<br />
the difference right there.  Those guys have a bigger spacer-plate, we have tapered spacers and they have a bigger one so it<br />
allows more air to pass through.  When you allow more air to pass through, it takes more fuel to keep the engine running<br />
right.  Those guys have worse fuel mileage than we do.  The Toyota Tundras though, the guys in the engine shop at Triad,<br />
they&#8217;ve been working real hard to get us more horsepower and at the same time use less fuel to get better fuel mileage.<br />
Every engine builder does that, but our guys have made some gains this year in that area.  All you can do is get it from the<br />
crew chief.  If you&#8217;re short, you may have to conserve, but if you&#8217;re good to go, then you just go.  The Toyotas seem to get<br />
about &#8212; in a full fuel run &#8212; we seem to get three to five laps more than those guys.  It&#8217;s not significant, but it&#8217;s enough<br />
where sometimes it can make the difference.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>RICHIE WAUTERS, crew chief, No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>What was your role in tonight&#8217;s win?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;When we started out tonight, we weren&#8217;t the best truck out there.  We had problems, we were a little bit tight and a little bit<br />
free at the same time.  We made a few adjustments and it helped it.  The last stop we made another adjustment and it was<br />
the best the truck was all night.  Of course, with Kyle (Busch) driving, he&#8217;s worth something there, too.  We&#8217;ve been<br />
working hard and the Toyota Tundra was the best it was all night long at the end.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 4th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a good run.  We were free in practice and we thought we had adjusted it and got it better.  It was just too free all<br />
through the race.  We kept adjusting it until it was as good as it was going to get.  Our Copart Tundra was just too free.  I got<br />
behind Ron (Hornaday, Jr) and  started racing him and got aero-tight and chassis-loose and it was a handful to hang onto.  To<br />
come home fourth, it&#8217;s not a win.  It&#8217;s not a third or second, it&#8217;s a little disappointing.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Are you disappointed with this finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We were just too free.  The way the rules package is, these Tundras they keep them from running with the other guys so we<br />
have to trim them out and really be free.  We stepped over the edge and had it too free.  Kyle (Busch) again hit it right on the<br />
money to get it right on without it being loose.  It was still a good run.  The Copart Tundra was fast.  I&#8217;m disappointed, we<br />
wanted to get another win at Texas, but fourth is good.  The way the middle part of the season was going, I think it we had<br />
five or six top-10s in a row, so I think we&#8217;re back in form.  We&#8217;re doing things right.  It&#8217;s about all you can do.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  7th</p>
<p><strong>How was your truck tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We had a really good Albertsons Toyota Tundra all night.  I had to fight track position at the drop of the green &#8212; didn&#8217;t<br />
have a perfect truck.  Jeff Hensley (crew chief) and everybody on the Xpress crew, they made the right adjustments and in<br />
the second run, man we were hauling.  We were fast.  I think, actually it wasn&#8217;t the second run because the first pit stop we<br />
took gas only.  After we got tires the next caution after that, we were flying.  I think we were fast as any truck out there.  We<br />
drove out to fourth.  We had a great four tire pit stop.  Came back in and pulled out of the gas and a lapped down truck<br />
pinned us in the pits and we gave away all the track position.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 Exide Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  8th</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-3663" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/03/23/david-starr-hopes-to-use-win-and-home-track-advantage-in-martinsville/attachment/2009-ncwts-david-starr/" rel="attachment wp-att-3663"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-david-starr.jpg" alt="David Starr" title="David Starr" width="160" height="240" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3663" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:160px;">David Starr</div></div><strong>DAVID STARR, No. 24 Zachry Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:  </strong> 9th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with another top 10 finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was another top-10.  Our Zachry Toyota Tundra was pretty awesome tonight.  The team did a great job because our truck<br />
wasn&#8217;t very good at the start of the race.  We fought a lot of issues until about three-quarters of the way through the race.<br />
Jason Miller, the crew chief, and all the guys on our Zachry team did an excellent job.  They finally got it fixed and we<br />
came alive right there at the end.  It was a little too late, but we were battling trying to catch up.  </p>
<p>We needed another caution to put us in the show.  From what we started with to how it ended up, we&#8217;re pretty proud and that says a lot about this racing team.  It takes the force that we never give up and when our back is up against the wall, we just keep digging.  It was pretty good.  Not what we wanted, but a top -10 finish and we&#8217;ll hold up our head high and leave knowing we gave it everything we got.  We just got beat by better trucks tonight and we&#8217;ll go win at Phoenix next week.&#8221;</p>

time Toyota has earned a NASCAR manufacturer&#8217;s title since the start of the 2004 season.<br />
Toyota recently also captured its second consecutive NASCAR Nationwide Series<br />
manufacturer&#8217;s crown.</p>
<p>The performance of seven full-time teams fielding nine Tundras &#8212; Billy Ballew Motorsports,<br />
Germain Racing, HT Motorsports, Randy Moss Motorsports, Red Horse Racing, Wyler Racing<br />
and Xpress Motorsports &#8212; all contributed to the NCWTS manufacturer&#8217;s title.  In addition,<br />
Premier Racing and Stringer Motorsports ran partial seasons with Tundras in 2009.  Tundra<br />
drivers have combined for 13 wins, eight poles, 58 top-five results and 118 top-10 finishes this<br />
season with three races remaining on the schedule.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Camping World Truck Series is a great platform for Toyota to showcase its full-size<br />
Tundra pickup truck, and four straight manufacturer&#8217;s championships in the series really<br />
enhances that exposure,&#8221; said Ed Laukes, Toyota&#8217;s corporate motorsports marketing manager.<br />
&#8220;We have always maintained that success in NASCAR is a product of the people involved, and<br />
we have been fortunate to align ourselves with championship-caliber teams and exceptional<br />
drivers.  Our Tundra teams overcame many challenges in today&#8217;s harsh economic environment<br />
to persevere and help us earn this title.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kyle Busch (six wins), Mike Skinner (three wins) and Todd Bodine (two wins) have all won<br />
multiple races for Toyota this season.  In addition, Brian Scott and Timothy Peters each earned<br />
their first career victories in a Tundra in 2009.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is such an honor to have been associated with Toyota for all these years,&#8221; says Skinner,<br />
who has raced a Tundra in every NCWTS race since Toyota joined the series in 2004.  &#8220;We<br />
knew that Toyota had the leadership to succeed in this form of racing, and four straight<br />
manufacturer titles are the result.  We are just fortunate to have contributed a bunch of points to<br />
these past four championships and hope to continue that for years to come.&#8221;</p>
<p>A total of 25 different drivers have participated in the Camping World Truck Series in a<br />
Tundra this year, including nine &#8212; T.J. Bell, Bodine, Stacy Compton, Terry Cook, Tayler Malsam,<br />
Timothy Peters, Scott, Skinner and David Starr &#8212; who have competed in all 22 events for<br />
Toyota.</p>
<p>Since joining NCWTS competition in 2004, Toyota has won 64 races and captured 68 poles<br />
in 147 races.</p>

<p><strong>Post-Race Notes &amp; Quotes</strong></p>
<p><strong>Talladega Superspeedway &#8211; October 31, 2009</strong></p>
<p>- Kyle Busch was victorious in Saturday&#8217;s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) race at Talladega Superspeedway.  Busch led 10 of 98 laps at the 2.66-mile Alabama oval en route to victory lane.</p>
<p>- The win enabled Toyota to clinch its fourth consecutive NCWTS manufacturer&#8217;s title (2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009).</p>
<p>- Aric Almirola (second), Todd Bodine (third), Terry Cook (fourth) and David Starr (fifth) also recorded top-five results in Tundras, the first time since April 2006 (St. Louis) that Toyota has swept the top-five positions in an NCWTS event.</p>
<p>- Tundra drivers Stacy Compton (seventh), Timothy Peters (11th), Mike Skinner (19th), Max Papis (22nd), Brian Scott (23rd), Tayler Malsam (27th) and T.J. Bell (29th) were also in the field.</p>
<p>- Five Tundra drivers are among the top-10 in the unofficial NCWTS point standings &#8212; Skinner (third), Bodine (fourth), Scott (sixth), Peters (seventh) and Starr (ninth) &#8211; with three races remaining in the 2009 season.</p>

<p><strong>Finishing Position: </strong>1st</p>
<p><strong>How did the final lap of the race feel?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That just happened &#8211; unbelievable.  I owe everything to Aric Almirola today.  Sticking with me from that last pit stop to the end, I told him if he just stayed with me they wouldn&#8217;t be able to beat the 15 (Almirola) and 51 (Busch).  Awesome job to Aric (Almirola), he can take my half of the pay after today.  I don&#8217;t get paid anything.  I don&#8217;t know what Billy Ballew will work out with him.  What an awesome truck &#8211; this Miccosukee Tundra was great today.</p>
<p>The guys did an awesome job building it. You can only go as fast as what it&#8217;s built from the shop so obviously a lot of work went into this thing.  Toyota clinched the manufacturer&#8217;s championship &#8211; that&#8217;s awesome.  Thank NOS Energy Drink, thank the fans &#8211; it was a lot of fun today.  There was a few moments that maybe got a hairy and a little sketchy, but overall it worked out in the end for us so that&#8217;s awesome.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What were you able to say to Aric Almirola in the closing laps of the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I need a more private channel so not everybody hears it.  Basically, I had to tell him just the ways that I&#8217;ve been here in the past.  Last year I got beat.  The first year I was horrible.  We won&#8217;t go there, I think I was eighth or ninth, made a lot of mistakes.  Last year I saved a lot of that till the end of the race and didn&#8217;t quite get in the position that I needed to be in. Today, I had Aric (Almirola) behind me who really helped me and being able to just talk through him and telling him what to do &#8211; if we just stayed together.  The biggest patience in this race, I know it was 94 laps today, but there was 93 laps of patience and a one lap free for all that wins this thing.  Aric (Almirola) did an awesome job.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you worried that you were making your final move too late?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;No because I wasn&#8217;t yet to the 30 (Todd Bodine) &#8211; I wasn&#8217;t sure of what direction I needed to go, I wasn&#8217;t sure if he was going to block.  I sort of started up high slow to see if he would.  Aric (Almirola) was bumping me there so I didn&#8217;t want to be too jerky on the wheel and spin myself out on his truck.  I just pulled up nice and smooth and Todd (Bodine) held his line and we just went around the outside of him.  I was kind of surprised by that, but I guess he learned from my own mistake at Daytona, when you try to move up in front of a train that&#8217;s coming &#8211; you&#8217;re going to wreck.  We&#8217;ve seen that the last few times here, Carl (Edwards) tried to do the same thing with the 09 (Brad Keselowski) or whatever.  I guess when you&#8217;re the leader coming down towards the stretch you&#8217;re better off to just hold your line and take what you&#8217;re going to get.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How much did bump drafting play a role in today&#8217;s race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It definitely played a role because you never know how close you are to NASCAR&#8217;s line of going over of being too aggressive.  Earlier in the race the 30 (Todd Bodine) and the 25 (Terry Cook) were teamed up pushing each other down the backstretch and the 25 (Cook) got crossed up getting into turn three and they gave him a warning.  Then five laps later, he&#8217;s doing it again &#8211; all the way down the backstretch.  You can bump draft is fine, apparently, but push drafting is what the problem is.  I don&#8217;t know if there needs to be a new term laid out there, but I think I just did it.  The push draft is the problem and that happened a couple times today.</p>
<p>I never did it &#8211; I was bump drafting the five (Mike Skinner) when we were getting up towards the front.  I would always bump him, get off him, bump him, get off him &#8211; it would help the row along, but it wasn&#8217;t like two trucks get teamed up together and just push draft all the way around the track.  I don&#8217;t know where that line is.  I don&#8217;t know &#8211; you warn a guy once and he does it again and you don&#8217;t post him or don&#8217;t do anything about it then what&#8217;s the penalty.  Apparently everybody was supposed to be warned in the driver&#8217;s meeting, but I guess you can still get warnings out on the race track.  It&#8217;s a hard situation to understand, but Aric (Almirola) and I, we saved it for the last lap, from turn four on to the start-finish.  I think we played it out nicely.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What would you like to see NASCAR do about &#8216;push-drafting?&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;What I would like to see is if NASCAR issues the warning in the driver&#8217;s meeting tomorrow then that&#8217;s your warning.  If you do it and cross their line, their aggressive driving line they&#8217;ve got, if you go over that then I would like to see a drive through penalty &#8211; you get posted, black-flagged, drive through penalty.  Then you have to come down and do your penalty.  How long can you push a guy?  On the Cup side, Denny (Hamlin) has actually been practicing that in practice the past few years here. His time is two laps &#8211; he can push a guy for two complete, full laps and then he starts to get about 250 degrees on water temp, which is about too high.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What is the difference between a &#8216;bump-draft&#8217; and a &#8216;push-draft?&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t really want to push or bump draft through the corners, that&#8217;s the thing.  Here you can get away with doing it because there&#8217;s so much grip.  The push draft, when you get up on a guy and just start pushing him and you start picking his speed up, you actually start lifting him up off the race track and the back of the truck is just sort of sliding around.  It&#8217;s like a wheel barrel, you&#8217;re just up on the front two tires like you&#8217;re just steering it like that. The bump draft, if it&#8217;s gentle enough, if you&#8217;re not Juan Pablo Montoya and just plow a guy and if you just bump a guy, you can keep that row going.  It&#8217;s just little bumps, it doesn&#8217;t lift your tires off the ground, it doesn&#8217;t do anything and it gives that guy a sense.  When you bump them straight on, he might have to move the wheel a little bit, but he&#8217;s not chasing the back of his truck all around when he&#8217;s getting a push draft.  He just gets a bump, figures it out and he&#8217;s back on the ground.  It happens quick enough where everything settles out.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Finishing Position:</strong> 2nd</p>
<p><strong>How was your race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a good race, it was fun.  We had a good truck.  I&#8217;m real proud of Doug George (crew chief) and all the guys on this team.  Everybody at Billy Ballew Motorsports did a great job and worked really hard.  We had two awesome speedway trucks and it showed today.  There were not very many people that could hang with us (Kyle Busch) when we got together and we proved that a couple times throughout the race.  We tried not to show our cards too much in the beginning.  It paid off and it was a one-two finish for Billy Ballew &#8211; I just wanted to be one bad.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What did it mean when Kyle Busch drove down pit road to thank you?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It meant the world.  As hard as it is to win these races, he&#8217;s won a lot of them and he knows that it was a team effort today. Congratulations to Billy Ballew in his 300th start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and he got a one-two finish so that&#8217;s pretty awesome for him.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Was bump drafting getting out of hand for a truck race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;In the beginning of the race, Todd (Bodine) was behind me and I was behind the six (Colin Braun) and I never touched the six, Todd (Bodine) never touched me and we were just cruising around, just riding.  I was riding seriously half to three- quarters throttle just to make sure that I didn&#8217;t run into the back of the six (Braun).  30 laps into the race, all of the sudden I was getting slammed from the back.  It was for no reason really, we weren&#8217;t going anywhere. The guy in front of me wasn&#8217;t going to go any faster from me slamming into him.  A couple times I actually burned the brakes up, the brakes went all the way to the floor board just to keep from running over the people in front of me.  If we knocked our grill and our duct work in, then we had to come in to take tape off then we surely weren&#8217;t going to have a shot to win.  I think people were really aggressive and didn&#8217;t need to be.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-16692" style="auto;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-16692" href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/06/22/todd-bodine-ready-for-memphis-rematch-in-the-no-30-copart-tundra/attachment/north-carolina-education-lottery-200/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-16692" title="Todd Bodine, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra" src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bodine.jpg" alt="Todd Bodine, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra" width="183" height="200" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:183px;">Todd Bodine, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra</div></div><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</strong></p>
<p><strong>Finishing Position: </strong> 3rd</p>
<p><strong>Are you disappointed with a third-place finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We got used to winning for sure.  We made the right move &#8211; we had a great truck and made the right move at the end and got the lead.  We just didn&#8217;t have a teammate.  Kyle (Busch) had his teammate right behind him.  I could have blocked him coming to the checkers, but I didn&#8217;t want to be like Carl Edwards and end up in the catch fence.  With Kyle (Busch), that&#8217;s what would have happened &#8211; he&#8217;s a racer and you can&#8217;t blame him for that.  It was a great day for Billy Ballew Motorsports with a one-two finish.  Our Germain Copart Tundra was fast, it was again the best truck and it drove fantastic.  We just ended up third.  There&#8217;s nothing you can do but be happy with it and we had a good day.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Was bump drafting getting out of hand for a truck race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;This is my one chance to speak so I&#8217;m going to speak a little bit here.  They need to do something with the Cup cars, the Nationwide cars and the trucks with the bump drafting &#8211; everybody knows it, everybody said it.  It&#8217;s getting out of control with the Cup cars with guys hitting each other in the corners, spinning each other out.  It&#8217;s a simple solution &#8211; brace the back bumpers up as hard as you can brace them.  You ought to see the back bumper in my truck &#8211; it&#8217;s like a Mack Truck bumper. The next thing you do is you take the bumper out of the front so if you hit somebody, you hit them with fiberglass.  I&#8217;m not going to hit somebody with fiberglass and mess my aerodynamics up so what&#8217;s that do?  It stops everybody from bump drafting, it&#8217;s a simple solution.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Finishing Position: </strong> 4th</p>
<p><strong>What happened to your truck early in the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We were losing horsepower so we had to come in and work on it and every we were taping the air box and got it double- nutted so then we were able to fix that.  Then we blew up the transmission with about 14 laps to go and it was spitting rear end grease out, smoking inside the truck.  We had just about everything go wrong that you could and still come out with a top-five finish.  This is a big day for Harris Trucking  &#8212; to have two trucks in the top-five &#8211; that&#8217;s a big weekend.  I wish I wouldn&#8217;t have had to come from the back because we had a horse.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-3663" style="auto;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3663" href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/03/23/david-starr-hopes-to-use-win-and-home-track-advantage-in-martinsville/attachment/2009-ncwts-david-starr/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3663" title="David Starr" src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-david-starr.jpg" alt="David Starr" width="160" height="240" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:160px;">David Starr</div></div><strong>DAVID STARR, No. 24 Zachry Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</strong></p>
<p><strong>Finishing Position: </strong> 5th</p>
<p><strong>What was your strategy in the closing laps?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We were trying to do the right thing, I was thinking of which way I should go and who I should go with.  Going from second to fifth is a little disappointing, but a top-five for HT Motorsports and Terry Cook did a heck of a job.  I should have jumped up to the high side, but you second-guess yourself and if I would have jumped up to the high side then they would have gone to the bottom.  Then I would have finished a little further back.  It was a great race &#8211; our Zachery Toyota Tundra was awesome.  All the guys did a heck of a job and I can&#8217;t thank them enough.&#8221;</p>

<p>Post-Qualifying Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>Talladega Superspeedway &#8211; October 30, 2009</strong></p>
<p><strong>TERRY COOK, No. 25 Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  2nd</p>
<p><strong>How was your qualifying lap?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re very pleased with the Harris Trucking / Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra.  It was good.  On the chassis dyno and the wind<br />
tunnel, if they tell you anything, they tell you you&#8217;ve got a pretty truck.  We spent a lot of time with this truck, rubbing on it and<br />
made sure that it not only qualified good, but really, ultimately raced well.  So far, the qualifying part is coming true and<br />
hopefully it will race well tomorrow.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of the rule changes announced for 2010?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Thank you.  That is it, thank you.  It&#8217;s been a long time coming.  The rule changes, I think NASCAR did a great job in making sure<br />
the teams could feasibly get through the season so I applaud them for that.  The pit stop rules that we had where you fuel one time<br />
and then tires on the next, I think it just confused everybody, confused the drivers.  I think we opened ourselves up to getting<br />
somebody hurt, whether it be a track worker on the track or crew members on pit road.  Going back to the format and now we have<br />
figured out a way to where it&#8217;s going to be six people over the wall so that saves us the cost of one person, instead of the Cup or<br />
Nationwide that have seven, so that&#8217;s going to help a bunch.  </p>
<p>The new engine rule where we have to run a sealed motor every two races instead of every three is going to help a bunch.  Really excited about the outlook of the Truck Series going forward and as you mentioned, having been here for as many starts as I&#8217;ve had, I&#8217;ve seen the Truck Series go through a lot of changes and I applaud NASCAR for making this change.  </p>
<p>The double-file restarts, I first saw that in Phoenix in the Camping World West Series back in April and I thought it was just great side-by-side racing.  I was excited when it got introduced into the Nationwide and Cup series, but was disappointed that they didn&#8217;t do it in the Truck Series around Indianapolis race weekend.  Knowing that going forward we&#8217;re going to have double-file restarts, I&#8217;m excited about that as well.  I applaud all their changes.  Personally, I think it was a little overdue, I was looking for all these changes about mid-season this year, but glad to see they are taking the initiative to where we<br />
will have them next year.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>MAX PAPIS, No. 13 GEICO Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 3rd</p>
<p><strong>How much are you looking forward to tomorrow&#8217;s race with such a good qualifying run?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The GEICO Toyota was just great &#8212; it drove by itself.  We did a lot of work to make it a little faster and the guys in the shop,<br />
they&#8217;re just amazing.  It&#8217;s as much of a team effort as it can be.  When you come to a place like this I think you need to maximize<br />
the length of the bolt in the truck.  I guess they did it all and it&#8217;s proven to work.  It might have been facilitated a bit by starting in<br />
the back, but you need to put up the number and we did it so we&#8217;re happy.  This is a big thing for me, especially since it&#8217;s the second<br />
time for me at Talladega.  Just let me enjoy what it means to be in the top-five because it&#8217;s just huge.  I know it&#8217;s only qualifying,<br />
but I just like to enjoy every second of it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 15 Graceway Pharmaceuticals/AKawareness.com Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 5th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with your qualifying lap?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really pleased with that.  We go to these restrictor plate races all the time and we watch the 30 (Todd Bodine), as far as<br />
Toyotas go, outrun us.  He&#8217;s won the last four of them.  I think that&#8217;s pretty good for us, let alone just to be able to outrun him in<br />
qualifying.  Qualifying doesn&#8217;t mean a whole lot here.  We practiced real well, we got a good race truck, so I&#8217;m excited for<br />
tomorrow.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 6th</p>
<p><strong>How was your qualifying effort?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I got a lot of excuses.  I had a headwind down the front straightaway, and a flock of geese flew in front of me in front of the back<br />
and messed the air all up and slowed me way down.  It&#8217;s Talladega.  It doesn&#8217;t matter where you start.  It&#8217;s how good your truck<br />
drives, how good it drives in the draft.  This truck has won the last four speedway races and it drives awesome.  We actually even<br />
made it a little better this morning with a couple things.  I think the Copart Tundra is going to be just fine.  It&#8217;s great to have the<br />
pole, but that doesn&#8217;t get the big check and the big trophy.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Does your starting position at Talladega affect your strategy?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re way back, yeah, you have to look at it a little differently.  I don&#8217;t even know what I ran, but we&#8217;ll be close to 10th or<br />
something and that&#8217;s close enough to the front.  Just find a hole and just wait around for the end and see what you got.  Make some<br />
adjustments and go from there.  I&#8217;ve started like 28th here before and 10 laps was leading.  If you do the right things in the draft and<br />
you make the right moves, it&#8217;s not a big deal.  I&#8217;m not really worried about it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 One Eighty Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 8th</p>
<p><strong>How was your truck in practice?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was awesome.  This Randy Moss team did an awesome job giving me a good truck.  Same one as we brought to Daytona and<br />
we had a lot of fun with it.  It should be a good race.  Drafting here is so much different than Daytona.  It&#8217;s so much more smooth<br />
and it&#8217;s a lot more fun, that&#8217;s for sure.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How much fun is it to learn drafting techniques from the veterans?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I like it a lot, especially following Mike (Skinner) or (Ron) Hornaday and those guys, because I can follow them up through the<br />
track and see where their lines go and how they like to run.  It&#8217;s a lot of fun and I&#8217;m very fortunate to have Mike (Skinner) as a<br />
teammate, especially if we qualify near each other today.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>STACY COMPTON, No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance / Melling Engine Parts Toyota Tundra, Wyler Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 9th</p>
<p><strong>KYLE BUSCH, No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  10th</p>
<p><strong>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 PC Miler Navigator Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  11th</p>
<p><strong>How was your truck in qualifying?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s the first qualifying run that we&#8217;ve done and our PC Miler Navigator Toyota Tundra is driving very, very good today.  I think<br />
it&#8217;ll race pretty good.  I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re the cream of the crop, by any means, but if we catch the right draft there towards the end, I think we can finish well.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How sensitive are the trucks to who you&#8217;re drafting with?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not so much how sensitive the trucks are, it&#8217;s how you react to what the drivers are gonna do.  We were talking about that<br />
earlier.  Over in the Cup (Series) side, you&#8217;re drafting with certain people and you say, &#8216;He&#8217;s gonna do one of three or four things.&#8217;<br />
You can kind of narrow it down.  There&#8217;s been a couple of them I was riding around out there with today, there might be 10<br />
different things, or eight different things.  I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Wow, why did he do that?&#8217;  It&#8217;s just the experience level with those guys over<br />
there.  They&#8217;re a little bit more seasoned as far as drafting goes.  You gotta be a little bit aware.  You can&#8217;t take it for granted, what<br />
the guy in front of your or beside you is gonna do over here.&#8221;</p>

Places like Atlanta, Texas, Michigan are all drafting tracks.  But we take drafting to a whole new level in Daytona and Talladega.  Those places you can be leading the race, but if you get too far out front they will make a run on you and shuffle you back to 20th in a hurry, even in one lap.  So you have to think about how far you are away from the truck behind you and in front of you.  It even matters who you have outside of you.  You can get behind the right truck, and suck up to them as we say, and you will be on rails.”</p>
<p><strong>Rolling off a Top 10:</strong> “It helps when you have a top-10 finish to carry that momentum into the next race.  In Martinsville we had a great truck and the guys did a great job with the pit strategy.  We had some time before the last race to regroup a little bit and breathe, but now we are back on a roll again.  Unfortunately in Talladega you can be a victim of circumstance there and it usually kills your truck.  But we don’t go into events thinking about killing our momentum; we go in thinking about how the glass is half full.”</p>
<p><strong>A Little Push Goes a Long Way:</strong> “It takes a friendly push from the right person to get your truck to move through the field in Talladega.  If you push a person in the corners the wrong way you can send their truck sailing through the air we are going so fast.  So drafting takes finesse.  You can’t just go in there half cocked; it has to be the right time and the right place to get you that next spot.  And if it is the right timing, you can grab as many positions as you want.  A little push goes a long way.” </p>

Finishing in the top 10 in Martinsville really helped our team realize we have put together a strong program.  And one of the best parts is that both of HT Motorsports trucks were in one piece.  That is a big relief to Jim (Harris, owner) and our team to not have to worry about fixing a bunch of damage that happens at the short tracks, especially since we will take that same truck to Phoenix in a few weeks.  Now that we hopefully have this monkey off our backs, we can move forward.”</p>
<p><strong>Superspeedways:</strong> “We only do two superspeedway races each year.  This is the time where you tighten those belts and never lift. We go wide open, three-wide, four-wide, on the top, in the middle or on the apron.  One lap you can be leading and then very next lap you can be in 25th position.  This is wild stock car racing at its finest.  The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series hasn’t been to Talladega Superspeedway that many times, but this was a great addition to our schedule when NASCAR added it.  It really gives the fans some excitement watching these trucks on this track.  The cup cars move through the air so smoothly, but our trucks are like a box parting the air.  It just means for a bouncier ride for us drivers and a better show for the fans.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TOYOTA NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS)</p>
<p>Post-Race Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>Martinsville Speedway &#8211; October 24, 2009</strong></p>
<p>- Tundra driver Timothy Peters, who resides in Danville, Va., earned his first career NASCAR Camping World Truck<br />
Series (NCWTS) win in Saturday afternoon&#8217;s race at Martinsville Speedway.</p>
<p>- Peters led the final 84 (of 200) laps to earn the 12th victory for Toyota in 2009 and the 63rd since joining series<br />
competition in 2004.</p>
<p>- Along with Peters, five Tundra drivers also earned top-10 finishes at half-mile Virginia short track, including Todd<br />
Bodine (second), Denny Hamlin (sixth), David Starr (eighth) and Terry Cook (10th).</p>
<p>- Toyota drivers Aric Almirola (12th), Stacy Compton (14th), Max Papis (21st), Mike Skinner (23rd), Brian Scott (24th),<br />
Tayler Malsam (28th), T.J. Bell (30th) and Peyton Sellers (31st) were also in the field.</p>
<p>- Five Tundra drivers are among the top-10 in the unofficial point standings &#8212; Skinner (third), Bodine (fourth), Scott (fifth),<br />
Peters (seventh) and Starr (ninth) &#8211; with four races remaining in the 2009 season.</p>
<p><strong>TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:  </strong> 1st</p>
<p><strong>How does it feel to get your first truck series victory at your home track?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Words can&#8217;t describe what I&#8217;m going through right now.  These two guys up here &#8212; Tom DeLoach (team owner) for<br />
believing in me and giving me an opportunity.  Chad Kendrick (crew chief) for sticking with me when neither one of us knew<br />
what would happen in our future.  Chip Lofton with <a href="http://www.Strutmasters.com">Strutmasters.com</a>.  Mike Smith (track public relations) and Clay Campbell (track president) &#8212; I can&#8217;t say enough about these guys for the show that they put on not only for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series here at Martinsville Speedway but the Balley&#8217;s 300 also, a Late Model stock race.  It&#8217;s been bitter sweet &#8212; a long time coming.  This was is for my dad.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you worried that you would run out of fuel?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I was a little worried about that in the beginning.  What a great call Chad (Kendrick) made at the beginning to come down pit<br />
road to get tires.  We were just so loose on forward bite on the beginning of the run in this <a href="http://www.Strutmasters.com">Strutmasters.com</a>, Red Horse<br />
Racing Toyota Tundra.  I can&#8217;t thank these guys enough.  Everybody involved with us.  The No. 1 was number one today.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What were you thinking the last few laps?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The last 10 laps, I was saying my prayers.  &#8216;C&#8217;mon Lord, let&#8217;s go 10 laps.&#8217;  Thank the Lord above.  This right here is<br />
awesome to win at Martinsville for my Dad, who I lost in (2001).  I have a lot of memories right here.  I&#8217;m speechless.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you feel anything special this morning that made you think you could win?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s nothing out of the ordinary other than I wanted to race today really bad because I knew in race trim we had a real good<br />
truck.  We were just a little too free in qualifying and didn&#8217;t get the starting position that we like, but again, the beginning of<br />
the race, we were just a little too free as far as our drive off.  We came down pit road somewhat out of sequence.  Chad made<br />
great calls.  Nothing is any different.  I got up and put my clothes on the same way I do every day.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What did it mean to have veteran drivers congratulate you in victory lane?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I had Todd (Bodine) and Ron (Hornaday) come up.  I thought I was going to have a heart attack from that cold Gatorade he<br />
dumped on me.  Terry Cook, Stacy Compton, all the guys that have had success in this sport, especially Todd and Ron with<br />
their championships &#8212; it&#8217;s an awesome feeling.  Tom (DeLoach) talked about the last time that he had been victory lane was<br />
&#8217;06, and the last time I was in victory lane was &#8217;05 and it was here.  It feels great to be in victory lane.  Four years is a long<br />
time, especially when you come off Saturday night short tracks and you&#8217;re used to winning week in and week out.  We knew<br />
we had to get the respect of these guys because they&#8217;re professionals.  Hopefully they see that with us.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>CHAD KENDRICK, crew chief, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>What were your thoughts in the final laps of the race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Since Vegas this race right here &#8211; I have a calendar in my office and this race was marked.  So as soon as Vegas as over<br />
our thought concentration and everything went into this race.  We went and tested and tested and went to the seven-post and<br />
we put a lot of effort.  We also put a lot of effort into the fuel because we were here in the spring and was running fifth with<br />
eight to go and ran out.  So we sat down and we looked at it and looked at it and in practice we probably spent just as much<br />
time on the fuel mileage stuff as we did getting the truck prepared to win.  </p>
<p>When the race started the truck was actually a lot<br />
freer than I anticipated it being and it was almost to the point where I could visually see that he (Timothy Peters) didn&#8217;t<br />
have a truck to win at the front of the race and he was telling me that he didn&#8217;t have a truck to win at the front of the race.<br />
When that caution fell we had planned from the set of the race that we were going to do one stop and we knew we could go<br />
all the way so when that caution came out it kind of came out exactly where we kind of planned.  </p>
<p>Came down pit road, took<br />
the four tires, came back for fuel and made some big swings at it and was just hoping it was going to be enough.  When he<br />
fired off back racing he was running his fastest time like every tenth lap.  I knew we had a good truck.  At this point it was<br />
just a little tight off but it was free rolling the center better than any truck here and I could see that so I told Timothy<br />
(Peters), &#8216;If you take your time and get to the lead I really feel confident we could win this thing.&#8217;  He did the rest.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TOM DeLOACH, team owner, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>How happy are you for your race team?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m thrilled with these guys.  It was a real pleasure for me to get to know Timothy (Peters), get to see the passion and the<br />
drive in this guy.  Many of you don&#8217;t know &#8212; Timothy comes down to our shop every day.  He is there in the shop every<br />
day working on his truck and T.J.&#8217;s (Bell) truck.  You don&#8217;t see that in drivers today.  You tell me any other driver that is<br />
going into any shop and participating with the guys building those trucks.  It doesn&#8217;t exist and that&#8217;s what is so special about<br />
this guy.  He can get out there, he can get up on the wheel, he can race hard but he&#8217;s one of the team.  </p>
<p>And you keep saying there&#8217;s no I in team, well there&#8217;s a little bit of me in team and Timothy (Peters) is the me in that team.  He gets out there and he gets it done.  He works together with these guys.  He and Chad (Kendrick) have a special relationship.  Sometimes you hear them fussing at each other and you think it&#8217;s two brothers about to get in a fight but that&#8217;s just the way it is.  They<br />
communicate that way and it works and you see the relationship and it&#8217;s just really pleasing to me to see this thing kind of<br />
come to fruition at a track like this.  We were here in 2006 with David Starr.  It was a thrilling time then and I&#8217;ve got to tell<br />
you, there&#8217;s something about a win &#8212; you go three years because you&#8217;re looking for that next win &#8211; and when I ran into this<br />
guy I knew we&#8217;d get a win.  The question was when not where.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 2nd</p>
<p><strong>How was your race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was pretty good.  We struggled a little bit in practice.  Of course the first practice was shortened. (Mike Hillman) Jr. (crew<br />
chief) made some really good calls and made some good calls there at the second practice and we adjusted during the race and<br />
got pretty good.  Got a little track position, saved some fuel.  The Lumber Liquidators Tundra was decent.  I tell you, though,<br />
for Timmy (Peters).  He&#8217;s such a good racer and such a good kid.  It&#8217;s about time he gets to victory lane.  One other thing I<br />
want to say is that the pink helmet I had for breast cancer awareness month pay attention to EBay because it&#8217;s going to go on<br />
there after Talladega.  We&#8217;re trying to raise money for a great cause.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How did your truck handle during the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We had a great Tundra.  This Lumber Liquidators Tundra was really good.  We struggled a little the first practice.  We got<br />
the thing to turn through the middle of the corner.  That&#8217;s what you&#8217;ve got to have at Martinsville.  Be able to turn and get<br />
good forward bite and we were.  At the end of the race we got a little tight in the middle.  I had to use it up a little more than I<br />
wanted to coming through traffic.  When Ron (Hornaday) and (Mike) Skinner and those guys got behind me I knew I had to<br />
go then.  I couldn&#8217;t wait and I burned it up a little bit.  It was a great day.  A top-five here from what we we&#8217;ve had this year,<br />
we&#8217;ll take it and go with it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you feel like you had a race-winning truck today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really tickled to see Timmy (Peters) win.  He&#8217;s such a good kid.  He&#8217;s a great racer. I had a good Lumber Liquidators<br />
Tundra.  I had to use it up a little more than I wanted coming back through the pack.  I was doing pretty good taking my time.<br />
Ron (Hornaday) and Mike (Skinner) and those guys got up behind me and then I had to go and I had to use it up and beat the<br />
right-front up a little more than I wanted to.  We got to the end barely.  I think another 10 laps and Colin (Braun) probably<br />
would&#8217;ve got us but we had a good run.  The guys worked hard.  We weren&#8217;t that good in the first practice but we made some<br />
great changes for the second one and we dialed it in fairly good.  We didn&#8217;t know what we had.  We made a couple changes<br />
for the race.  It was a pretty good day all in all.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What was the difference today compared to finishes at Martinsville in the past?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Better luck.  We ran really well in the spring.  I think we were running second and got a flat tire, had to go to the back, came<br />
all the way to fourth with the green-white checker and got spun out going into three on the last lap and crashed.  We&#8217;ve had a<br />
lot of bad luck here but we&#8217;ve run really well too.  We just came up a little short again.  You&#8217;re right.  The family legacy here,<br />
I&#8217;ve got to get a grandfather clock before I&#8217;m done that&#8217;s for sure to be the only three brothers to ever win here.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>DENNY HAMLIN, No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  6th</p>
<p><strong>DAVID STARR, No. 24 Zachry Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 8th</p>
<p><strong>TERRY COOK, No. 25 Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 10th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The Harris Trucking Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra was pretty good all day.  This is probably one of the better trucks<br />
we&#8217;ve ever had here at Martinsville.  Worked track position early but then we realized the competition was coming and it<br />
was time to get tires.  And probably waited just a tick too long to get tires and lost some track position.  We had a problem<br />
with the brakes at the beginning.  We were just trying to be a little aggressive with our brake package and overheated the<br />
brakes early which coincidentally late in the race made the brakes work night quite as good.  This is probably one of the<br />
better trucks that we&#8217;ve ever had here and this team has been in a little bit of a slump for the past five or six weeks so we<br />
wanted to come out here with a solid top-10 finish, we got it and it&#8217;s on to Talladega.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TOYOTA NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS)</p>
<p>Post-Qualifying Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>Martinsville Speedway &#8211; October 23, 2009</p>
<p>NOTE:  Mike Skinner recorded his 50th career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) pole Friday afternoon at<br />
Martinsville Speedway.  He will make his 200th NCWTS start Saturday at the half-mile speedway.</p>
<p>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 PC Miler Navigator Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 1st</p>
<p><strong>What does it mean to have your 200th Truck Series start at Martinsville?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I ran my very first Sprint Cup race here at Martinsville.  I won a big Late Model race up here.  I have a lot of great<br />
memories up here.  It&#8217;s kind of cool that it worked out that our 200th start will end up at Martinsville.  I love this place.  It&#8217;s<br />
definitely a top-five race track that I love to race on.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Do you think this truck is capable of winning Saturday&#8217;s race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I think the truck is good.  Us and (Kevin) Harvick, and four or five other guys that are really, really good.  If we have a<br />
good pit stop and nothing crazy happens to us, I think we have a chance.  I think we have a good chance to win.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you happy with your qualifying run?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I really felt like I did not get the truck in the corner as good as I had done earlier and I really didn&#8217;t expect it to hold up but it<br />
did.  The truck is really, really awesome.  It&#8217;s really awesome in race trim.  It&#8217;s the Iowa truck that we ran at Iowa.  PC Miler<br />
Navigator is on board with us again this weekend and it&#8217;s kind of a milestone for us.  The 200th start deal is really no big<br />
deal.  We left the series in 1997 and never came back until 2004.  We ran a race here and there.  I don&#8217;t regret going and<br />
running in the Sprint Cup Series all of those years.  I had a lot of fun and had some success but I sure loving these trucks and I<br />
love running this Toyota truck.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>DENNY HAMLIN, No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 4th</p>
<p><strong>BRIAN SCOTT, No. 16 Albertsons Toyota Tundra, Xpress Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  5th</p>
<p><strong>How was your qualifying lap?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s rough going first, and I&#8217;m on a streak here.  In the spring, I had to qualify first as well.  It&#8217;s definitely not an advantage to<br />
have to go that early, but I felt like we put together a pretty decent run considering.  Jeff Hensley and the guys really did an<br />
awesome job and I hope I can get a win for Toyota and get them closer to clinching that manufacturer&#8217;s championship.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>STACY COMPTON, No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance/Melling Engine Parts Toyota Tundra, Wyler Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 6th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with your qualifying effort?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I was pleased with it.  This SafeAuto/Melling Toyota was good in practice.  The best it drove.  When I ran a lap, I asked<br />
how it was and I didn&#8217;t know what to expect.  The truck has been good since we got here.  This place has always been so<br />
good to us.  It&#8217;s sort of a home town race for me.  This one means a lot to come up here and run good.  I&#8217;m pretty excited<br />
about the race.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  8th</p>
<p><strong>How is your truck and how do you think weather might affect the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re okay.  We&#8217;re not stellar by any means, just okay.  It is what it is.  We got what we got.  If we have to race after the<br />
Cup cars, the track is going to be really rubbered up and slick.  The best balanced truck will be at the front.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 One Eighty Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 10th</p>
<p><strong>TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 11th</p>
<p><strong>How was your truck in practice and qualifying?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;In race trim, we have a really good Strutmasters.com Toyota.  In qualifying trim, we thought we had it there but we missed<br />
it.  It&#8217;s frustrating because obviously track position means the world here.  We&#8217;ll take what we got and hopefully at the<br />
checkered flag tomorrow, we&#8217;ll be number one.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What does this race mean to you growing up so close to Martinsville?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;This race means the world to me, just because it&#8217;s 20 minutes from home and I have had a lot of success up here.  I&#8217;m just<br />
frustrated a little bit because we should&#8217;ve been better than that.  I knew we were better than that.  But, they don&#8217;t pay<br />
anything to start, it&#8217;s where you finish.  We&#8217;ll be okay tomorrow.&#8221;</p>

<p>Post-Race Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>Las Vegas Motor Speedway &#8211; September 26, 2009</strong></p>
<p>- Todd Bodine (fourth) was the highest finishing Toyota driver in Saturday&#8217;s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series<br />
(NCWTS) race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.  He started the race from the pole position and led twice for nine laps.</p>
<p>- Six Tundra drivers earned top-10 finishes at the one-and-a-half-mile Las Vegas oval, including Timothy Peters (fifth),<br />
Mike Skinner (seventh), Aric Almirola (eighth), Brian Ickler (ninth) and Tayler Malsam (10th).</p>
<p>- Toyota drivers T.J. Bell (12th), David Starr (15th), Max Papis (18th), Brian Scott (19th), Stacy Compton (20th) and Terry<br />
Cook (26th) were also in the field.</p>
<p>- Five Tundra drivers are among the top-10 in the unofficial point standings with Skinner (third), Scott (fourth), Bodine<br />
(sixth), Peters (ninth) and Starr (10th).</p>
<p><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  4th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was pretty good.  We started off really loose in through the middle.  We were really good off and we got that tightened up<br />
then it was too tight off.  We never got it fixed at the end of the race.  To run with these Chevys, I&#8217;m pretty happy with it.<br />
With a Toyota, we have to keep it wound up in the middle of the corner, we can&#8217;t bog it off the corner &#8211; we&#8217;re dead.  That&#8217;s<br />
what was wrong with the end.  That was a good run.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with tonight&#8217;s finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It feels fantastic to get a top-five finish in the Lumber Liquidators Tundra.  There were a couple spins tonight that probably<br />
should have happened but we were able to save the truck.  Nothing fell off the truck, we didn&#8217;t get a flat tire or anything like<br />
that &#8211; and our pit crew had another awesome night on pit road.  This has been probably the toughest year of my career.  Our<br />
performance hasn&#8217;t been bad, we&#8217;ve just had bad luck and it&#8217;s been a hard last few weeks for our team.  </p>
<p>After what we&#8217;ve<br />
been through, we&#8217;re pretty happy the Lumber Liquidators Tundra has come out of here in fourth.  It&#8217;s been great to have<br />
Lumber Liquidators back with us for a few races this season.  They have a great promotion going on for race fans that ends<br />
this weekend.  Check it out at LLFLOORS.com.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 17 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:  </strong>5th</p>
<p><strong>What did you think of tonight&#8217;s race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We had great strategy in the pits.  Chad Kendrick (crew chief) and all the Strutmasters.com team did a great job.  Tom<br />
DeLoach (team owner), can&#8217;t say enough about him for giving me an awesome opportunity and Toyota.  It feels good to<br />
come to Vegas and finish fifth.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What did you think of the delay in the start of the race due to lights?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I was ready to go.  It was like racing in South Boston Speedway back in South Boston, Virginia.  I was ready to go but<br />
NASCAR has our best interests.  All in all, it was a good night.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 PC Miller Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 7th</p>
<p><strong>How was your Tundra in tonight&#8217;s race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Our practice today was phenomenal.  We really thought we were going to win the race tonight.  It was sad.  We got<br />
something going on with the front springs or something.  I think they&#8217;re timed out or something.  The truck just went away<br />
and it does that on these bumpier race tracks.  It&#8217;s done it about four times this year and it starts bouncing really, really hard<br />
and it went away.  That was a shame because we had such a good Tundra earlier today.  It was really tough.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s your plans during the two off weeks?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I have a bunch of stuff going at our new house.  I&#8217;m going to spend some time with Eric (Phillips, crew chief) and we&#8217;re<br />
going to work on these trucks and try to get these thing figured out a little bit better so we&#8217;ll run better at Texas.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  8th</p>
<p><strong>BRIAN ICKLER, No. 15 <a href="http://www.AKawareness.com">AKawareness.com</a> / Graceway Pharmaceuticals Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 9th</p>
<p><strong>What did you think about your finish tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t have the best qualifying effort.  I started towards the back.  Got a little skirmish actually, the thing started<br />
pushing up towards the wall and I tried to jerk it away from the wall so it wouldn&#8217;t flat-side it and I ended up spinning and<br />
going through the grass.  I thought I tore the splitter off it, but got pretty lucky there, actually.  We kept coming in down pit<br />
road and working on it.  I ended up finishing ninth, so all in all, I don&#8217;t think it was that bad of a day for what it could have<br />
been.  I definitely wish we could have started this one over.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Can you talk about your relationship with your spotter Tom Busch, a Las Vegas native?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Tom is my spotter in pretty much everything I&#8217;ve been driving lately.  He&#8217;s seen it all.  There&#8217;s a lot of coaching from the<br />
roof.  I see him more than I see anyone in my life, really.  We&#8217;re on the road together every weekend racing Late Models,<br />
ARCA cars or the Truck Series.  We spend a lot of time together and get along good.  I really like having him spot.  He has<br />
a lot of knowledge to pass on.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 One-Eighty Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 10th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It started off kind of sketchy with that spin in the beginning.  Doug (Wolcott, crew chief) and the guys did a good job of<br />
keeping me cool and get my confidence back up.  I didn&#8217;t have much confidence after that deal.  Overall it was a good race.<br />
We got finished and got the truck home in one piece.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What happened with that spin?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I got aero-loose and spun.  It was a rookie mistake, I guess.&#8221;</p>

So going back to the city of lights is always a good thing for me in that department.  I don’t take a lot of time to gamble, I just don’t have the patience for it.  I am one of these people that goes to the five dollar machines and puts $100 in it.  I can either play for 10 minutes and win big or play for five minutes and be done.  I just don’t like to sit idle for that long and play all night like some people do there.”</p>
<p><strong>Addition of Team Member Dave Fuge: </strong> “It’s a great thing when you have more dependable people to lean on each week and adding Dave Fuge to our team seems to be a big help to our team.  In racing you don’t often see results overnight, but in time it will show in your finishes.  Dave (Fuge) being there has given Danny (Rollins, Crew Chief) more time to focus on setups and not worry about the details of how the changes are getting made during practice.  Dave has helped make those changes go smoother, and is there to double check the details.  Races can be won or lost on the details so we are trying to cover all our bases.  We look forward to great things in our future.”</p>
