Nashville Wrap-Up….. Blake was back in the Daystar.com No. 81 Dodge last weekend after running the No. 82 in Talladega. After fighting a tight condition through most of practice and qualifying, the car was loose during the race. Blake started 30th and moved up through the field very nicely before running out of gas on lap 114, causing him to speed coming into the pits with no gauges. After dropping back outside the top-30, Blake and the team recovered nicely with a 25th place finish, his third straight top-25.

MacDonald Motorsports at Richmond…..In 13 career starts at the ¾ mile, MacDonald Motorsports has still yet to crack a top-20 finish. Blake will look to do just that this weekend at a track very similar to Memphis, where he made his first start in Nationwide in 2009, placing 17th. The best qualifying result at Richmond for MacDonald Motorsports was just last fall when Michael McDowell slotted the No. 81 into 24th on the grid. Their best finish was 23rd in 2009 with Bobby Hamilton Jr. behind the wheel.

Blake Koch on Richmond….. ”This weekend should be our best run so far. I feel like it’s a track I will adapt quickly to and my crew chief is very confident about it. Looking to get our top 15!!”

Chassis this week….. The team will be running the same car that was ran last weekend in Nashville once again at Richmond this Friday night. It was also run earlier this season at Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Bristol. Daystar.com will be the primary sponsor and RizeUp.us will be an associate sponsor.

10th career NASCAR Nationwide start….. This Friday will also mark Blake’s 10th career NNS start. Blake has 0 DNF’s in his previous 9 starts, an average starting position of 30.7, and an average finish of 25.4. He has finished in the top-25 five times with two top-20 finishes.
