The 2011 season finale for the JEGS/CRA/GM series will be held during the 40th annual Winchester 400 weekend on Friday-Sunday, October 14-16th at the legendary 1/2 (0.500) mile high-banked paved oval of Winchester Speedway in Winchester, Indiana. The 11th and final race for JEGS/CRA/GM will be the W&M Manufacturing / Pier-Mac 100 Plastics Presented by JEGS.com which highlights the Saturday portion of the three-day weekend under the lights on Saturday, October 15th.

“We have had a mixed variety of things happen this year at CFR. From a pin hole in a radiator hose which set us back to starting dead last on the field to finishing second speaks volumes,” Finley remarked. “We put this team together to build the future of CFR and I am very proud of where it is at today. We have had our misfortunes, but the future looks good and the never give up attitude is building it even brighter.” He added.

In Finley’s last race within JEGS/CRA/GM, he started 35th (last) after wrecking the car in Keyser Manufacturing Qualifying. After the CFR team worked throughout the night, and early the next morning, the car was ready to race and the DeWitt, Michigan standout made the most of a very hectic Sunday afternoon of racing. After all was said and done, Finley would settle for second after advancing a whopping 33 positions in the race and in the process, set a series record for the most positions gained in one race!

“LOR (Lucas Oil Raceway) was a good boost for us all after the hole I put the team in qualifying.” The DeWitt, Michigan driver offered. “We’ll be a lot smarter at Winchester that’s for sure. This is our last chance to win one of these JEGS/CRA/GM series races this year, so we are very focused on that as our main goal.”

“We definitely want to keep all four wheels on the ground this time around.” He laughed. “Honestly we had a real good car there last time. Just got caught up in nothing of our own doing. Phil Harper (Phil Harper Motorsports) found a few gains on horsepower so we will have even more power this time around. We should be real good in race trim there.”

“All of us at CFR have to thank everyone for their support this year as the season comes to an end. Starting with Auto Value / Bumper to Bumper Parts Stores & Certified Service Centers, who have been the back bone for us this year. Appreciate them very much.” Finley added. “Howe Racing Enterprises for their continued help. We have had some very fast cars this year. Rain Eater Wiper Blades, Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil, and the Air Lift Company as well. All of which are available in the Auto Wares group of stores and at AutoParts2020.com. It’s been a great year of building and I am grateful to everyone.” He ended.

With one race remaining in the JEGS /CRA / GM schedule, Finley has recorded four top five finishes with a season high of a second place showing coming twice with the most recent runner-up at Lucas Oil Raceway in Clermont, Indiana on October 2nd as well as at Dixie Motor Speedway in Birch Run, Michigan back on June 17th. His two other top five’s were third place finishes at Columbus Motor Speedway in Columbus, Ohio back on May 28th and his most recent podium showing at Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Michigan on September 3rd. Overall, he has racked up eight top 10 finishes in 10 starts.

Date: May 6, 2011

Event: Royal Purple 200 (Round 10 of 34)

Series: NASCAR Nationwide Series

Location: Darlington (S.C.) Raceway (1.366-mile oval)

Start / Finish: 1st / 1st (Running, completed 147 of 147 laps)

Winner: Kyle Busch of Joe Gibbs Racing (Toyota)

The win, which came via an impressive 3.677-second margin over JGR teammate Denny Hamlin, put the 26-year-old Busch just one win away from the Nationwide Series record of 49 career victories held by veteran Mark Martin. It was the fifth Nationwide Series victory of the season for Busch and his first career Nationwide Series win in eight races at Darlington, where the 52-year-old Martin visited victory lane eight times in 29 Nationwide Series starts – second only to his 11 career wins in 25 career Nationwide Series starts at Rockingham (N.C.) Speedway.

“I just can’t thank Z-Line Designs enough,” said Busch from victory lane. “These guys do an awesome job for us – Jim and Monica (Sexton, Z-Line Designs president and his wife) here with us tonight, and Toyota, and Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil. We love racing here. It’s fun, we love it. We wouldn’t be able to do it without those guys, most importantly this team. Jason Ratcliff (crew chief) and the guys brought me an awesome racecar. They did such an awesome job for me. All we had to do was bide our time a little bit and see how it shook out.”

In the end, it all shook out just fine for Busch and the Z-Line Designs team. But, it didn’t necessarily look like it would for the lion’s share of the 147-lap race.

With the afternoon qualifying session getting washed out by rain, Busch started from the pole by virtue of his fastest lap in the morning’s two-hour practice session, per new NASCAR rules for the 2011 season. But after the green flag flew for the race, Busch and the Z-Line Designs crew saw their share of minor, but significant, struggles in the early going. Busch had trouble getting his racecar to turn during the opening run, which saw him drop quickly from first to third behind Carl Edwards and Kasey Kahne by lap 18.

After track bar and wedge adjustments during the first round of pit stops under caution on lap 27, Busch quickly drove himself into the lead when the race restarted on lap 31. He held the point by a comfortable margin until Edwards slipped past him heading into turn one on lap 54 as handling issues returned. That prompted the team to make similar adjustments to the ones it made during the first stop when Busch pitted under caution on lap 76.

Busch resumed in third place but reported a vibration from the rear of the car shortly thereafter. He dropped out of the top-three for the first time all night on lap 80, then pitted a third time on lap 91 under another caution so the crew could take its time to investigate the cause of the vibration before sending Busch on his way. With several other competitors having taken on just two tires, Busch dropped all the way back to 14th place. But he was able to immediately pick up five spots – elevating him to ninth place – when he slipped past several cars on the lap-94 restart just as a multi-car accident happened in front of him.

Busch’s Camry did not emerge unscathed as it made its way through the melee, having made contact with JGR teammate Brian Scott from behind with nowhere else to go. And he made contact several times with the legendary red-striped Darlington wall with the right side of his Camry. Nonetheless, Busch found the race was coming to him as the closing laps approached.

“It seems to be my best style here at Darlington – beat it up as much as you can and see if you can win with it,” said Busch, who finished second in last year’s Nationwide Series race at Darlington to Hamlin in a two-car Z-Line Designs entry. “We didn’t mean to. There was that one run there that we all started getting tight and it kind of came out, unexpectedly, and I drove it out into (turn) three one time and it didn’t stick and went right into the fence.

“I love coming to Darlington and it’s a really tough, treacherous place for me. We kind of proved that because the right side doesn’t look so great, but we still were able to win today. I just can’t say enough about this team. It’s cool to be here in victory lane – my first time in the Nationwide Series here in Darlington – so this feels pretty good.”

When the race restarted a final time on lap 103 after track workers cleared the aftermath of the multi-car accident, Busch was on the move. He moved from ninth to the top-five by lap 108, the top-three by lap 112, and second place by lap 116 behind race-leader Elliott Sadler. Busch chased Sadler for several laps before finally making his way by for the lead on lap 124.

“I was taking my time and being patient,” Busch said. “I got there kind of fast and, when I did, I made a move through (turns) three and four and my car was just too tight around the bottom line. It overheated the right-front tire, so I just got back in line and waited a couple more turns and was just seeing if I could get Elliott to bobble or make a mistake, and it would be easier on me to get by him. I was just waiting. He got slowed up with a lapped car off of turn two and I kind of built a run through (turns) one and two and got to his inside down the back and was able to clear him into (turn) three. It was a good race, there, for a little bit and kind of interesting. I did try once and then I just waited because there was still time and still laps left. I was trying to make sure I got by him before Denny (Hamlin) got too close. I figured if we had a three-way battle that sometimes, when there are two cars racing, it just leaves room for the third car to just blow by the both of them. We see momentum carry guys by you so easily here, sometimes.”

Once Busch got by Sadler, he methodically clicked off the final 23 laps without a threat from behind and also clicked off his first career win at “The Track Too Tough to Tame.”

“It is special because it’s so tough and so demanding,” said Busch of the mystique of Darlington Raceway. “To beat the guy we beat tonight –

Denny Hamlin – that’s pretty cool, too. We had a flawless racecar today. It was really awesome. The guys did a really good job working on it in practice this morning. We made some changes that made it better, which made it a better racecar than what Denny had today. It goes to Jason (Ratcliff) and the guys who make smart calls and put something fast underneath me every week.”

Busch now has 95 victories across NASCAR’s top three divisions (Sprint Cup – 21; Nationwide – 48; Camping World Truck – 26).

Scott, driver of the No. 11 Toyota Camry for JGR, fended up 29th after getting caught up in the multicar accident on lap 94.

Sadler finished a distant third, while Justin Allgaier and Steve Wallace rounded out the top-five. Clint Bowyer, Kasey Kahne, Reed Sorensen, Jason Leffler and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., comprised the remainder of the top-10.

There were five caution periods for 28 laps, with 18 drivers failing to finish.

The next event on the Nationwide Series schedule is the May 14 5-Hour Energy Drink 200 at Dover (Del.) International Speedway. The race starts at 2 p.m. EDT with live coverage provided by ESPN beginning with its pre-race show at 1:30 p.m.

No. 18 Dollar General Toyota Tundra

“We brought a brand new chassis out here, 007, and it’s really cool to get a win in our first race with it,” said proud Kyle Busch Motorsports owner/driver Busch. “The guys really put their minds together at the shop and the chassis department did a great job making improvements to the truck. We unloaded fast off the truck for practice, qualified decent and ran well. That’s all you can ask for. The guys did a great job tonight on pit road. They were phenomenal there. They had some great pit stops. It feels really good to put Dollar General back in victory lane. Rick Dreiling (Dollar General CEO), his wife Ellen and daughter Amy, they’re all here with us tonight to help celebrate. All the folks at Dollar General are phenomenal to work with and I love getting them to victory lane!

Combos, Flexco, Triad, Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil, Camping World for their support of the series. It’s great fun to come out here and race with these guys. Electric Sunglasses. The fans! I want to say hey to my kids who are here from the Sunshine Acres Home (Mesa, Ariz.) through the Kyle Busch Foundation. We had about 50 of them here tonight. It was cool to get those kids tickets, thanks to the raceway for that.”

The win propelled the defending owners’ series champions into first place in the 2011 standings. Under the new points system, the Kyle Busch owned No. 18 leads the No. 2 Delana Harvick entry by one point after two races. Busch’s win was his 87th in NASCAR national series competition, tying him with Jeff Gordon for sixth all-time.

After starting the race from the third position, Busch made quick work of second-place Austin Dillon passing him on the first corner of the first lap. The 25-year old driver settled into the second spot as Bowyer began to pull away from the field. He communicated to crew chief Eric Phillips that the No. 18 Dollar General Toyota Tundra was a little free off the exits of turns two and four.

Debris on the track brought out the first caution of the night on lap 43. After beating Bowyer off pit road, Busch chose the inside lane for the restart on lap 49. After narrowly leading the No. 2 truck out of turn two, the Las Vegas native began to slowly pull away from the field with each passing lap. By the time the second caution of the night occurred on lap 58, the No. 18 Dollar General Toyota was 20 car lengths ahead of the closest competitor.

Busch once again selected the inside lane for the restart on lap 63. As the field came off turn two, he began to distance himself from the pack once again. By the time the race reached the halfway mark, the 2007 winner of the event had put two seconds between himself and Bowyer.

As the race continued under green flag conditions, Busch communicated to Phillips that the Dollar General Toyota Tundra was getting tighter through the center of the turns later in the run.

David Mayhew brought out the third caution of the night on lap 101. When pit road opened, Busch came down pit road for four fresh tires with an air pressure adjustment and a full tank of fuel. He and Bowyer raced side-by-side to the timing line at the end of pit road. After reviewing the footage, the official ruling revealed that the Dollar General pit crew had once again won the battle off pit road.

The final eleven laps of the 150-mile race proceeded under green flag conditions. Spotter Eddie D’Hondt calmly informed Busch of the distance between his truck and Bowyer’s with each passing lap. The No. 18 Dollar General Toyota slowly pulled away from the defending race winner as Busch collected his second Truck Series victory at the one-mile tri-oval.

Ron Hornaday finished third, followed by Johnny Sauter and Austin Dillon. Rounding out the top 10 were Cole Whitt, Matt Crafton, Justin Johnson, Joey Coulter and Jason White.

Busch, who has won five of the last eight Camping World Series truck races he has entered, will pass the keys to the No. 18 Toyota Tundra over to Kasey Kahne when the series resumes at Darlington Raceway on March 12.

Chad Finley

Finley, whose part of the Brad Keselowski Racing (BKR) Driver Development program, was just looking to close out his limited 2009 ARCA schedule with a solid finish on Sunday, October 12th. Little did he know that the day before would turn out to be pivotal and career changing for the DeWitt, Michigan teenager.

Finley’s Rockingham weekend couldn’t have started any better as he won his first career Menards Pole Award presented by Ansell on Saturday afternoon, October 11th on Qualifying Day for the ARCA American 200 over the 46-car field as he posted a new track record of a 24.494 around the one-mile oval, which measured out to 146.975 mph.

“What a weekend. Never been here before or even seen this place. We unloaded and got on the track and this place is real slippery. Made a few adjustments and got a ton better,” He explained. “(Crew Chief) Wayne Setterington is just awesome, we made a long run in practice and he talked me through the car just getting so loose because this place just eats up your tires.”

As Finley was preparing to head out for one more practice session, Mother Nature intervened and forced cancellation of the rest of Practice. “Before the rains hit, Wayne just kept fine tuning it and we were getting ready to make a sticker run to see what we had and the rain came in, so to sit on the pole was huge for us and just shows what everyone at BKR is capable of.” Finley remarked.

In his three previous ARCA appearances in 2009, his last start prior to Rockingham, was way back on July 25th at the famed Berlin Raceway, located West of Grand Rapids in Marne, Michigan for the Wolverine Power Systems 200 Presented by Generac, Finley proved he belonged with an impressive third place finish.

His podium finish came on the heels of a sixth place showing in his ARCA debut at Toledo Speedway in Toledo, Ohio back on May 17th and a ninth place showing at the Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa on July 11th. Now he was going to be leading the field to the green in only his fourth career start and at Rockingham no less!

“I didn’t think we had enough to get the pole, but it was definitely a pleasant surprise.” He continued. “I finished ninth in an ARCA race at Iowa earlier this year and that is the biggest track I’ve been too so far other than Rockingham in ARCA. I ran the Milwaukee Mile and Bristol Motor Speedway last season though in an ASA Late Model Series race.”

Finley started on the pole next to 2009 ARCA title contender, Parker Kligerman, who’s been the man to beat this season in ARCA competition and was in a fight of his own for the 2009 ARCA RE/MAX Series Championship with Justin Lofton, who was scheduled to start second, but went to the rear of the field at the start due to an engine change.

After Kligerman paced the field for the first two laps, Finley drove around the eight-time race winner on the outside coming out of turn four to complete lap three and retook the point. From their, Finley set a torrid pace around the Tar Heel State oval and would lead the next 42 laps until Steve Arpin took the lead using lapped traffic on lap 45.

Throughout the afternoon and even after pit stops, Finley maintained a top five standing during the first 3/4s of the 200-lap feature. Then a chain reaction incident on a late restart forced Finley into the back of nine-time ARCA Series Champion, Frank Kimmel, who was trying to avoid a slowing Arpin, who broke a transmission on lap 161.

Finley fought an ill handling race car the rest of the day and finished 15th. “To lead that many laps and run as well as we did all day is great. That last restart something happened up front that caused a chain reaction and we got into the back of Kimmel and hurt the front down force on the car.” Finley explained.

“The car just wouldn’t turn those last 25 laps or so, so we were just hanging on there to get to the end of the race. I honestly thought we had a chance at it or at least a Top Three finish. I am not disappointed though just heart broken for every one at BKR.”

As for the race itself, Kligerman won the ARCA American 200, his ninth victory of the year, but it would be Lofton who would clinch the 2009 ARCA RE/MAX Series Championships after starting 41st and finishing in third!

Finley’s impressive showing throughout the weekend didn’t go unnoticed as Car Owner, Brad Keselowski himself made the trip to North Carolina after finishing fifth the night before in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. “It was great to have him here and have him talk to me a little bit on the radio.” The appreciative Great Lakes State driver added. “It meant a lot to me.

“I’m very grateful for the opportunity presented to me this year with these guys. Hopefully we can find some sponsorship to carry on next year. I believe we have showed that we can do it with this race team, we just need some financial backing to make it happen.” Finley ended.

Throughout the 2009 racing season, all of Finley’s cars carried sponsorship from Auto Value / Bumper to Bumper Parts Stores and Certified Service Centers as well as AutoParts2020.com on his #29 Chevrolet in the ARCA RE/MAX Series as well as his #42 Outlaw Bodied Super Late Model.

In addition, more sponsorship comes from; NorthsideTowing.net, PassTimeUSA.com, Neal’s Truck Parts of Grand Rapids Michigan, Bayside Inn of Key Largo Florida, Nalett Trucking, Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil, Velocity Graphix, M.P.H. Promotions, and Howe Racing Enterprises

Chad Finley

And that’s good news for Finley who’s helping contribute to the young news makers in 2009 in the no. 29 Brad Keselowski Racing (BKR)-prepared Chevrolet.

Finley, the son of ARCA RE/MAX Series veteran/winner Jeff Finley, has earned two top-10 finishes in his only two starts on tour – a solid sixth in his debut at Toledo Speedway back in May and a ninth place run last week at Iowa Speedway.

Next stop – Berlin Raceway for the Wolverine Power Systems 200 presented by Generac Saturday, July 25. And for once, the Lansing, Michigan local favorite finally gets to race at a track that’s familiar to him.

“We’ve been there (at Berlin) six or seven times,” said Finley. “We ran an ASA (late model) car there as well. We were running in the top-five in the ASA race before our tire went flat. We’ve also run our Outlaw (late model) car there, but the people who run there have been there forever so it’s been very tough. We’ve had a couple top-10s.”

But it also must have been tough last week at Iowa, a track that Finley had never seen before until he got there race weekend.

“Iowa was a huge learning curve for me. Wayne (Setterington/crew chief) and all the guys at BKR brought a really good car. When we got to the track we were struggling with the car being too tight in the center of the corner and we really didn’t get it cured till the end of the day; all the guys busted their backs to get the car where it needed to be. I really want to thank all of them for their hard work.

“We also drew a number one pill for qualifying and that made things really difficult. It was my first time qualifying. We managed to qualify 15th with a really loose race car. During the race we started off way too loose and quickly fell back. But Wayne just kept telling me to keep digging and that he would get it fixed up for me. We finally got the car tightened up at about lap 90 and started to pick are way back to the front; we just lost too much time in the beginning to ever make up. We also had a miscue on pit road and lost six spots. It’s tough to look out your window (on pit road) and watch cars drive by when you can’t do anything about it. But these things happen; it’s no one’s fault. We’re ready for Berlin.”

The event at Berlin marks Finley’s first ARCA RE/MAX Series start in his home state of Michigan and he’s had this race circled on his calendar ever since the deal was struck with BKR to race the #29 Auto Value / Bumper to Bumper Parts Stores and Certified Service Centers Chevrolet.

“It’s (Berlin) definitely a driver’s track. Gotta be easy on and off the gas pedal and ready with the brake pedal when you need it. It’s a small track, but it’s a tough track. I mean, Kyle Busch came here with the CRA cars and finished sixth.

“I know it’s close to the lake (Lake Michigan) too. It gets really humid at night around here, especially when it’s hot, and the track really slicks up. It can be hard to find the set-up for; you’re always turning.

“We definitely expect to run in the top-10. I’ll be disappointed if we’re not in the top-five really. Our car is definitely capable with Brad’s (Keselowski) stuff. Do we have a chance to win? Yah, I think we do. If we have no mistakes on pit road and I can stay out of trouble.”

Finley, who has already earned outlaw late model victories at Spartan Speedway in Michigan, has plans to race in two more ARCA RE/MAX Series events in 2009 – again at Toledo in early September and the season finale at Rockingham Speedway.

Finley’s cars in the ARCA RE/MAX Series and in the outlaw late model ranks will sport prominent decals from Auto Value / Bumper to Bumper Parts Stores and Certified Service Centers as well as AutoParts2020.com throughout 2009.

In addition, associate sponsors include NorthsideTowing.net, Neal’s Truck Parts of Grand Rapids Michigan, Bayside Inn of Key Largo Florida, Nalett Trucking, Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil, Velocity Graphix, M.P.H. Promotions, and Howe Racing Enterprises.

Back on May 18th, the home base of the ARCA RE/MAX Series, the Toledo Speedway in Toledo, Ohio hosted the Menards 200 Presented by Federated Car Care. Finley made his ARCA debut behind the wheel of the #29 Auto Value / Bumper to Bumper Parts Stores and Certified Service Centers Chevrolet for Brad Keselowski Racing.

The DeWitt, Michigan teenager finished an impressive sixth after starting 27th due to Qualifying getting rained out. Finley ran inside the top five all day long and impressed many onlookers in the process.

Now Finley shifts his focus on his next scheduled start for Brad Keselowski Racing in the ARCA RE/MAX Series, which will be this Saturday, July 13th at the immaculate 7/8s (0.875) mile progressively banked paved oval of Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa for the Prairie Meadows 200.

“I’m really looking forward to going to Newton. Toledo was so much fun and the car drove really well. I know Wayne (Crew Chief, Wayne Setterington) and all the guys from BKR have prepared us another really good car.” The Great Lakes State teenager said. “The crew put a Pro Motor in it last week and I could tell in Wayne’s voice that it’s a real good piece.”

“This will be a challenge for me,” Finley continued. “We practice Friday and then go back and qualify on Saturday with no practice. I have never done that before so that will be really different. I’m ready though and I have the utmost trust and respect for Wayne and his guys in the car as well as our guys.”

After to Iowa, Finley is scheduled for three more starts in the ARCA RE/MAX Series beginning at Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan on July 25th. Then it’s back to Toledo Speedway over the Labor Day Holiday Weekend on Friday, September 4th. Finally, Finley will complete his 2009 limited schedule in ARCA with the season finale at Rockingham Speedway in Rockingham, North Carolina.

“I just have to thank Auto Value Parts Stores and Certified Service Centers and Northside Towing.net as well as Baysidekeylargo.com for all there support to make all this happen. Also Brad Keselowski; His kindness and support is just really very much appreciated.” He ended.

Throughout the 2009 racing season, all of Finley’s cars will sport prominent decals from Auto Value / Bumper to Bumper Parts Stores and Certified Service Centers as well as AutoParts2020.com on his #29 Chevrolet in the ARCA RE/MAX Series as well as his #42 Outlaw Bodied Super Late Model.
