(February 8, 2012) -</strong> Red Horse Racing added a driver to the truck lineup for the 2012 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season with rookie of the year contender John King behind the wheel of the No. 7 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra.</p>
<p>The Fort Blackmore, Va., native made seven starts in the Truck Series, most recently in 2011 at Kentucky Speedway in October. The rookie has seven previous starts in the series including Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Martinsville (Va.) Speedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway. The 23 year-old driver has a career-best finish of 15th, which he earned in his Truck Series debut in 2010 at Bristol.</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-94062" style="auto;"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/John-King.jpg" alt="John King " title="John King " width="167" height="250" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-94062" /><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:167px;">John King </div></div>&#8220;I am really grateful for the opportunity to drive for Red Horse Racing and to be a part of their organization,&#8221; said King. &#8220;Red Horse Racing has great people on its race team, and I&#8217;m really looking forward to competing in the Truck Series. I&#8217;m excited to be able to drive for the rookie of the year honors and think this year&#8217;s class will be very competitive.&#8221;</p>
<p>Red Horse has a keen eye for talent, fielding trucks in the series since 2005.</p>
<p>&#8220;John is a very talented race car driver and we are thrilled to bring him on board,&#8221; said Managing Partner Tom DeLoach. &#8220;John has a great family background and will certainly fit in as part of this Red Horse Racing family.&#8221;</p>
<p>The young driver began his racing career in the Fastrak and <a href="http://www.StormPay.com">StormPay.com</a> Sanctioned Crate Late Model Series during the 2006 and 2007 season. In 2009, he was a part of the Bill Elliott Driver Development program competing in UARA-STARS Late Model Series. For more on King and his announcement with RHR for 2012, tune into NASCAR Race Hub on SPEED Channel on Wednesday, Feb. 8 at 6 p.m. ET.</p>

(January 23, 2012) -</strong> The new year is off to a fast start at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. As the deadline for season ticket renewals closed, &#8220;The Magic Mile&#8221; has seen a spike in sales from 2011 for both the July and September NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races in 2012.</p>
<p>&#8220;We haven&#8217;t seen this level of sales activity this early in quite some time. We are up an average of double digits between the two races,&#8221; explains Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of the speedway. &#8220;Our fans and our families have been struggling for quite a while in this economy. I take this as a sign that the recovery is underway.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Susan Colby, the vice president of guest services at NHMS, ticket sales for the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 for July are up 4% from last year. Sales for the SYLVANIA 300 in September are up 19%.</p>
<p>&#8220;When times are tight for fans, one of the first things people cut from their budget is vacations and summertime extras. We are thrilled to see them coming back in big numbers,&#8221; said Colby.</p>
<p>Colby noted sales for camping spaces and pre-race pit passes are a good sign that fans have more discretionary funds this year than in the previous few seasons.</p>
<p>The encouraging stats are also a result of the harder work being done at venues like NHMS to attract fans back through the gates. Speedway management ran off-season ticket sales a lot like a campaign, with mailers and email reminders to regular customers, as well as aggressive public relations efforts to keep Loudon in the spotlight for locals and fans.</p>
<p>&#8220;Strong sales don&#8217;t just happen,&#8221; explains Gappens. &#8220;In this environment, you have to work that much harder to bring fans to the speedway. We use every tool at our disposal, from traditional media and mailers to social media. We are thrilled with the results and hopeful the trend continues. I believe we are a barometer for economic activity and this is certainly a hopeful sign of recovery.&#8221;</p>
<p>While NHMS is pleased with the spike in sales, there are still plenty of tickets for both NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events. If you have a favorite seat, please call the tracks ticket hotline at (603) 783-4931 by Feb. 1 to ensure your spot. After Feb. 1 all seats will be released to the public. Guests can also visit www.nhms.com for tickets and more information.</p>

<p>It’s an adage that certainly does ring true these days for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.</p>
<p>In one of the biggest season-to-season upheavals since the formation of the series in 1995, the 2012 season will feature wholesale changes from 2011.</p>
<p>And the changes run deep.</p>
<p>In addition to a major influx of new faces in new places, the Truck Series&#8217; annual calendar has been trimmed by three races from its 2011 slate.</p>
<p>Now featuring just 22 events, the series will no longer compete at Nashville Superspeedway (previously two dates), New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Darlington Raceway and Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis.</p>
<p>The trucks will debut at Rockingam — which last hosted a NASCAR national series in 2004 — as Iowa picks up a second race.</p>
<p>An even more seismic shift, however, involves the drivers and teams.</p>
<p>Gone is Kevin Harvick Inc., which dominated much of 2011 but closed its doors at the end of the season.</p>
<p>Also missing will be reigning series champion Austin Dillon, who has been promoted to the Nationwide Series to compete for grandfather Richard Childress&#8217; team.</p>
<p>But the Truck Series won&#8217;t be completely devoid of Dillons. Austin&#8217;s younger brother, 19-year-old Ty, has seized his brother&#8217;s former seat in the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet.</p>
<p>Despite being just a rookie, the 2011 ARCA Racing Series champion could contend for the title with last year&#8217;s NCWTS championship-winning team.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_top_ght size-full wp-image-15007" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/newhampshiremotorspeedway.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-15007" title="New Hampshire Motor Speedway" src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/newhampshiremotorspeedway.jpg" alt="New Hampshire Motor Speedway" width="200" height="41" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:200px;">New Hampshire Motor Speedway</div></div>Wonders What Would Happen if Earnhardt Jr. Was on the Ballot with his Nine Million Votes!</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>LOUDON, N.H. (January 9, 2012)</strong> &#8211; With the entire country focusing on New Hampshire&#8217;s &#8220;First-in-the-Nation&#8221; Presidential Primary tomorrow, Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of New Hampshire Motor Speedway, says Mitt Romney will win big over his other GOP rivals at tomorrow&#8217;s polls. And just like Tony Stewart did here in September, Romney will use his momentum from New Hampshire to win the big prize, the Presidential election in November.</p>
<p>&#8220;My formula is simple,&#8221; explains Gappens. &#8220;It&#8217;s about relationships and getting in touch with the people. Mitt Romney has had a strong presence at our major NASCAR races here in New Hampshire, including being the guest of track owner Bruton Smith in July and previous visits in the past. In addition, just prior to the start of last year&#8217;s Daytona 500, I was surprised to see him on pit road, and he actually took a few moments to discuss NASCAR racing, politics and his love for New Hampshire with me,&#8221; Gappens said. &#8220;In August, I spoke with him again at former track owner Bob Bahre&#8217;s summer party at Lake Winnipesaukee.</p>
<p>&#8220;The fans at NASCAR races represent the true fabric of Americana,&#8221; Gappens added. &#8220;I think Mitt Romney understands the power of the &#8216;NASCAR Nation&#8217; and is totally plugged into it. He was the only candidate in the GOP field who visited New Hampshire Motor Speedway during one of the major NASCAR races in 2011. That puts him in lofty company,&#8221; says Gappens.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Magic Mile&#8221; has been host to an impressive line of Primary winners. John McCain made multiple trips to the speedway to greet fans and talk to voters. McCain owned the Granite State&#8217;s Primary in 2000 and 2008. Bob Dole also made it a point to swing by and shake hands with fans and went on to capture the GOP nomination in 1996.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d like to think there&#8217;s a little election magic here at NHMS,&#8221; says Gappens. &#8220;Romney did the work and because of that I predict that work will pay off with a trip to our state&#8217;s victory lane tomorrow.&#8221;</p>
<p>For Stewart, his win in the SYLVANIA 300, helped propel him on to the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.</p>
<p>&#8220;However, if Dale Earnhardt Jr. was on the ballot I might change my prediction,&#8221; Gappens joked. &#8220;He is the most prolific vote getter in NASCAR history, winning the Most Popular Driver award nine consecutive years and totaling more than nine million votes in the process. Junior has certainly received more votes in his career than most politicians!&#8221;</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t miss your chance to see all of the NASCAR action during the 2012 &#8220;Magic Mile&#8221; season. Tickets can be purchased by calling the New Hampshire Motor Speedway ticket hotline at (603) 783-4931 or by visiting www.nhms.com.</p>

(December 8, 2011) &#8211; Veteran NASCAR driver Brendan Gaughan will compete in 10 races on the 2012 NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule, driving Richard Childress Racing&#8217;s No. 33 Chevrolet Impala, and in eight races on the 2012 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series schedule, driving RCR&#8217;s No. 2 Chevrolet Silverado.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_top_ght size-full wp-image-16410" style="auto;"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/richardchildressracing.jpg" alt="Richard Childress Racing (RCR)" title="Richard Childress Racing (RCR)" width="211" height="127" class="alignright size-full wp-image-16410" /><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:211px;">Richard Childress Racing (RCR)</div></div><strong>WELCOME, N.C. (December 8, 2011) &#8211; </strong> Veteran NASCAR driver Brendan Gaughan will compete in 10 races on the 2012 NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule, driving Richard Childress Racing&#8217;s No. 33 Chevrolet Impala, and in eight races on the 2012 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series schedule, driving RCR&#8217;s No. 2 Chevrolet Silverado.</p>
<p>Gaughan, 36, is the 2002 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Rookie of the Year and competed fulltime in the Nationwide Series in 2009 and 2010, earning one pole and 17 top-10 finishes in 71 career starts. He finished ninth in the 2009 driver championship point standings and 11th in 2010. The two-time NASCAR Camping World Series West champion (2000-2001) has also earned eight victories and 63 top-10 finishes in 187 Truck Series starts, finishing 12th in the 2011 driver championship point standings. Gaughan was also part of the five-driver lineup that won the GT3 division of the 2011 Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona sports car race at Daytona International Speedway.</p>
<p>&#8220;The last few years, I have been racing for teams that try to buy their engineering or equipment from organizations as great as RCR, but doing that is never the same as racing for RCR,&#8221; said Gaughan. &#8220;I have always steered away from switching to a part-time schedule in the past but I had to look at where I would have the best opportunity to win races again and the opportunity to race for Richard Childress is one I couldn&#8217;t pass up. By sharing the Nationwide Series seat with RCR&#8217;s Cup Series drivers, I know I&#8217;m going to be in the best equipment in the garage and have the best opportunity to win races to get myself back to where I want to be and that is to compete fulltime again.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-3684" style="auto;"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-nns-brendan-gaughan.jpg" alt="Brendan Gaughan" title="Brendan Gaughan" width="160" height="240" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3684" /><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:160px;">Brendan Gaughan</div></div>Gaughan&#8217;s Nationwide and Truck Series races will be sponsored by South Point Hotel &#038; Casino in Las Vegas, with the exception of two Nationwide Series events which will be sponsored by Menards.</p>
<p>The Las Vegas native&#8217;s 18-race schedule will kick-off with the Truck Series event at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway and includes visits in both series to his home track of Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Gaughan&#8217;s Nationwide Series events include races at Iowa Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Dover (Del.) International Speedway and Phoenix (Ariz.) International Raceway among others. His Truck Series line-up includes events at Texas Motor Speedway, where he is a four-time winner, Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway and others, as well as the 2012 season finale at Homestead-Miami (Fla.) Speedway.</p>
<p>&#8220;Brendan is a proven race winner and champion so we&#8217;re excited to have him driving for RCR,&#8221; said Richard Childress, president and chief executive officer of Richard Childress Racing. &#8220;He will be a great addition to RCR&#8217;s overall driver lineup as we re-launch our NASCAR Nationwide Series program and continue the strength of our Camping World Truck Series program in 2012.&#8221;</p>
<p>The complete crew chief and remaining driver lineup for the No. 33 Nationwide Series team and the No. 2 Truck Series team will be announced at a later date.</p>

<p><strong>Combos and Pilot Flying J Partner for Homestead: </strong> Mars Inc. brand Combos will join Pilot Flying J on Annett&#8217;s No. 62 car this weekend for the last Nationwide Series race of the season. The No. 62 car will feature a bag of combos on the rear quarter panel with the treats spilling out across the back of the car. The featured flavor of these stuffed pretzel snacks is buffalo blue cheese. In conjunction with the Pilot Flying J and Combos partnership for the Homestead race, Pilot Travel Centers and Flying J locations are offering a two for $4 promotion on assorted flavors of Combos through the end of November.</p>
<p><strong>Racing to Save Lives:</strong> Annett will continue his support of his choice charity, St. Jude Children&#8217;s Research Hospital®, by again sporting their logo and website on his No. 62 Pilot Flying J/Combos Toyota Camry at Homestead-Miami Speedway. This weekend the logo will run in honor of nine-year-old St. Jude patient Lucas Solberg. Lucas&#8217; family&#8217;s first sign that he had a problem was when the Miami, Florida child suffered from stomach problems. In a visit to a local emergency room, doctors ran tests and found Lucas to be affected by rhabdomyosarcoma, an aggressive soft tissue tumor that can arise virtually anywhere in the body. Lucas underwent chemotherapy and surgery to remove the bulk of the tumor in Miami, and the Solberg family decided on St. Jude after the surgery for radiation and chemotherapy treatment. He finished his treatment in May 2004 and now visits St. Jude for regular checkups.</p>
<p><strong>Rusty Wallace Racing at Homestead:</strong> In 10 combined NASCAR Nationwide Series starts at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Rusty Wallace Racing entries have earned one top-five and three top-10 finishes. The organization&#8217;s best finish on the 1.5 mile oval was driver Jamie McMurray&#8217;s second-place run in November 2004. Rusty Wallace Racing entries have completed 1,963 of the 2,003 (98 percent) laps contested in those events.</p>
<p><strong>Laura Palenkas, Vice President of Marketing, Pilot Flying J, on the Combos and Pilot Flying J partnership for Homestead:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Mars Inc. is already one of our great retail partners, and this is the first time we have partnered with an in-store brand on our race car. Since Combos is one of the most popular snack foods at our Pilot Flying J travel centers, it&#8217;s a natural tie and we are thrilled to have them on board. This partnership called for more than just a logo decal. We worked hard to make Combos a part of our look and give Mars Inc. great on-track exposure. I think everyone is pleased. We think Michael Annett and our new Mars partnership is a winning combo. It is a great way to finish the year and get a jump start on our planning for next season.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Michael Annett on the Combos / Pilot Flying J partnership:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re very excited to co-brand our Camry with Combos and Pilot Flying J this weekend at Homestead. It&#8217;s great to see such a well-respected brand team with Pilot Flying J on our racecar. We&#8217;re very excited to add Mars Inc. and Combos to our list of 2011 partners, and hope to carry this relationship into the 2012 Nationwide Series season. My main goal this weekend is to hold onto eighth in the points race and give Combos, Pilot Flying J and Rusty Wallace Racing the strong finish they deserve.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Crew chief Rick Viers on the 2011 season coming to a close:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Every member of the team has worked extremely hard this season and we&#8217;re well prepared for our final race in Homestead. Michael is a smart driver and I can&#8217;t even begin to express how proud I am of him and each of the guys who work on this car week in and week out. Our engineer, Jason Stockert, has been a huge asset to the team and Ryan McKinney, Brian Gainey, Dan Vincent, Dennis O&#8217;Connor and all of our guys back at the shop have given a great deal of effort into building a strong No. 62 team. I thank each one of those guys for all of their hard work and support this year. Michael&#8217;s holding onto eighth in driver points with a small gap between ninth and 10th. In the last 21 races, we&#8217;ve moved up five spots in the owner points race, more than any other team has in the owners standings. We&#8217;re very proud of what we&#8217;ve accomplished and we&#8217;re looking forward to showing our strength again this weekend in Homestead.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>&#8220;NASCAR Mexico&#8217;s &#8220;Three-Time&#8221; Set to Make Second Career Truck Series Start&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-33534" style="auto;"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/KBMLogo.jpg" alt="Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM)" title="Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM)" width="164" height="90" class="alignright size-full wp-image-33534" /><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:164px;">Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM)</div></div><strong>MOORESVILLE, N.C. (November 15, 2011) &#8211; </strong> By winning three of the last four NASCAR Mexico Series races, Germán Quiroga has already put the finishing touches on his third consecutive championship with one race remaining on the 14-race schedule. Quiroga will be looking to parlay his recent success south of the border into a strong run in Friday&#8217;s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. </p>
<p>The Mexico City native will be making his second career Truck Series start behind the wheel of the No. 51 Telcel Tundra. Quiroga brought home a respectable 16th-place finish in his Truck Series debut at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in September.</p>
<p>In addition to three wins this season in the NASCAR Mexico Series, the 31-year-old driver propelled himself to a championship behind the strength of 10 top-five finishes. Prior to winning three consecutive titles, Quiroga finished second in points in both 2007 and 2008.</p>
<p>Quiroga&#8217;s 17 career wins rank second on the all-time NASCAR Mexico Series list behind Rogelio Lopez&#8217;s 20. Over 94 career starts, he has captured eight poles, 61 top fives and 74 top 10s. </p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-86863" style="auto;"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/German-Quiroga.jpg" alt="German Quiroga" title="German Quiroga" width="249" height="250" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-86863" /><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:249px;">German Quiroga</div></div><strong>Germán Quiroga, Driver of the No. 51 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Telcel Tundra:</p>
<p>How big of an honor is winning three consecutive NASCAR Mexico Series championships?</strong></p>
<p>I think more important, is to show the team work and communication we have created. It&#8217;s all about working hard and always having a bigger goal to reach.</p>
<p><strong>What was the biggest challenge you faced in making the transition from the cars that you run in the NASCAR Mexico Series to the trucks?</strong></p>
<p>Getting used to the radial tires, the weight of the truck, and how important the down force is to the truck. It was very difficult to pass trucks during the race, but I think that I will get used to after a couple of races. </p>
<p><strong>Since making your debut in September, have you continued to follow the Truck Series?</strong></p>
<p>Even before I made my debut, I always watch every Truck Series race on television. If I can&#8217;t be in the truck, at least I will try to learn from watching the broadcast. I also went to the Truck Series race in Las Vegas and watched and listened to the team communicate on the radio to try and learn even more.</p>
<p><strong>Do you have any experience on any tracks bigger than a one-mile oval?</strong></p>
<p>I raced at Nashville Superspeedway in the East Series in 2007 and practiced at Kentucky Speedway in order to make the Futaba 100 Infiniti Pro Series race at Indianapolis Speedway in 2005.</p>
<p><strong>Have you set any goals for the race at Homestead-Miami?</strong></p>
<p>Knowing that I already have a little more experience in the truck, I will try to qualify in the top ten. I&#8217;m sure that can help me in the race and even try to finish in the top 5. This series is very competitive and I have a lot of respect for it.</p>
<p><strong>Rick Ren, Crew Chief of the No. 51 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Telcel Tundra:</p>
<p>What impressed you the most about Germán at New Hampshire?</strong></p>
<p>His thought process was pretty impressive. The way he thinks about things and describes things &#8212; he puts a lot of thought into what he is going to say before he gives you feedback. I believe that comes from being an experienced race car driver. If you look at his track record the last five years, he has two runner-ups and three championships in Mexico, so he looks at things a little bit different than your average driver. The racing in the Truck Series may be a little bit different than what he is used to, but the thought process it takes to be a champion is the same.</p>
<p><strong>What will be Germán&#8217;s biggest challenge at Homestead-Miami?</strong></p>
<p>He has probably never raced on a progressive banked race track like Homestead. It will be a little different at first, but he is a guy that drives race cars for a living and wins championships in Mexico, so he will still go through the same thought process on how to attack the race track. When we were at New Hampshire, he never once talked about being loose in. When you go to the next size race track, the biggest concern as a crew chief is if the driver is loose getting into the corner. If we don&#8217;t hear him saying that he is loose in this weekend, I think we&#8217;ll be fine.</p>
<p><strong>What is the key to getting around Homestead-Miami Speedway?</strong></p>
<p>I think that the biggest thing a driver needs to do at Homestead is not to apex the turn too early because it&#8217;s a race track that tends to drive tight off the corners. You need to be able to have the self-restraint to wait that extra second in the middle of the corner before you get back to the gas. Just like we did at New Hampshire, we&#8217;ll talk him through everything throughout the day. He did a great job of getting on and off pit road the first race, but we&#8217;ll be sure to remind him that it&#8217;s a little trickier getting on pit road with the increased speeds on a faster track. We&#8217;ll make sure that he practices his pit road entry a few times during practice.</p>
<p><strong>Germán Quiroga&#8217;s No. 51 Telcel Toyota Tundra:</p>
<p>Chassis KBM-3:</strong> KBM-3 will be making its fifth start of 2011 this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Brian Ickler finished seventh in the Tundra&#8217;s debut last September at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Most recently, Josh Richards started 11th in the truck at Kentucky Speedway in October before being involved in an early incident that relegated him to a 34th-place finish.</p>
<p><strong>Notes of Interest:</p>
<p>Germán Quiroga NASCAR Career: </strong></p>
<p>- Finished 12th in the 2011 NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown at Irwindale (Calif.) Speedway.</p>
<p>- In his lone NASCAR Nationwide Series start, led nine laps and finished 20th in the 2007 Telcel-Motorola Mexico 200 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City, Mexico.</p>
<p>- Made six NASCAR K&#038;N Pro Series East starts during the 2007 season. </p>
<p><strong>Kyle Busch Motorsports and the No. 51 Toyota Tundra: </strong></p>
<p>- KBM&#8217;s second entry will be making its ninth start of the 2011 season.</p>
<p>- Josh Richards recorded a season-best 13th-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway for the No. 151 team (10/22/11).</p>
<p>- Quiroga, who finished 16th in his Truck Series debut at New Hampshire in July, is one of three drivers to have made their NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut in KBM&#8217;s second entry this season. Kimi Räikkönen finished 15th in the N.C. Education Lottery 250 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Josh Richards was involved in accident that relegated him to a 29th-place finish in the UNOH 225 at Kentucky Speedway.</p>
<p><strong>Quiroga and Hamlin Know How to Deliver for Their Sponsor:</strong></p>
<p>Besides being teammates for Kyle Busch Motorsports this weekend, German Quiroga and Denny Hamlin have another thing in common &#8211; both drivers are sponsored by Fed Ex in their primary series. Quiroga drives the No. 2 Telcel / FedEx entry in the NASCAR Mexico Series and Hamlin drives the No. 11 FedEx Racing Camry in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.</p>
<p><strong>Ride of Champions:</strong></p>
<p>All three drivers to make their NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut in KBM&#8217;s second entry this season had captured at least one championship in another series before joining the team&#8217;s roster of drivers. Quiroga recently clinched his third consecutive NASCAR Mexico Series championship, while Kimi Räikkönen captured the 2007 Formula 1 World Drivers&#8217; Championship and Josh Richards is a two-time World of Outlaws Late Model Series champion. Calling the shots atop the pit box for each driver has been KBM General Manager Rick Ren, who guided Ron Hornaday Jr. to Truck Series championships in 2007 and 2009.</p>

<p>No. 7 Duroline Brakes and Components Toyota Tundra</p>
<p>NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Race 25 of 25 </p>
<p>Homestead-Miami Speedway</p>
<p>ACHIEVING GOALS:</strong> In 2010, Miguel Paludo made his second start for Red Horse Racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Competing full-time in 2011, Paludo has earned three top-five finishes, seven top-10 finishes and has paced the field for 19 laps. The driver still has one more goal to accomplish in 2011, finishing in the top-15 in the driver point standings. After some bad luck late in the season Paludo finds himself 17th in points, but only nine points away from a top-15 finish. </p>
<p><strong>SECOND TIME AROUND: </strong> Last season Paludo earned his first top-10 finish at Homestead-Miami Speedway finishing ninth in the season finale. Paludo completed each of the 134 laps in the event, while preparing for his first full season in the Truck Series in 2011. </p>
<p><strong>RUNNING: </strong> This past weekend, while the Truck Series enjoyed a rare off weekend, Paludo competed in his first half-marathon. Paludo competed in the Thunder Road Marathon in Charlotte, North Carolina with pit crew coach Adam Merrell and with Amy Cook, wife of spotter and Red Horse Racing Director of Competition Terry Cook. When he is not on the track, Paludo spends his time staying in shape, mainly running. This is the first half-marathon Paludo plans to compete in as he trains to compete in the New York City Marathon in 2012. </p>
<p><strong>CHASSIS HISTORY:</strong> The No. 7 team will unload chassis No. 132. This truck last saw on-track action at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where Paludo earned a 10th-place finish. This chassis has competed only one other time in 2011, where Paludo piloted the truck to a fourth-place finish at Lucas Oil Raceway in July.</p>
<p><strong>PREVIOUS RACE RECAP:</strong> Last week at Texas Motor Speedway, Paludo made a late-race surge to finish ninth earning his seventh top-10 finish of 2011. Paludo was the highest Toyota finisher in the 147-lap event. With the run Paludo swept top-10 finishes at Texas Motor Speedway in 2011 earning an eighth-place finish at the 1.5-mile track in the Lone Star state in June.</p>

<p>Homestead-Miami Speedway has been a great track for you in the past. What do you like about the track? </strong></p>
<p>&#8220;What I like most about Homestead-Miami Speedway, is that you can run and be fast either from the bottom or the top. Last year I learned a lot and I&#8217;m looking forward the last race with the rookie stripes.&#8221;</p>

<p>No. 2 OneMain Financial Chevrolet Impala</p>
<p>NASCAR Nationwide Series Race 33 of 34 &#8211; Phoenix International Raceway </p>
<p>HEADING WEST: </strong> Elliott Sadler and the No. 2 OneMain Financial team return to Phoenix International Raceway for the second event of the season at the Avondale, Ariz., track. In the first race at Phoenix this season, Sadler fought a loose-handling car and battled back from one lap down to finish 12th. </p>
<p><strong>SADLER AT PHOENIX: </strong> Sadler has competed at the one-mile tri-oval five times in his Nationwide Series career, with one top-five finish and a best finish of second in 2005. He also has 18 starts in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series with a best finish of 10th in 2002. </p>
<p><strong>MILE OF DREAMS:</strong> In Sadler&#8217;s career in the Nationwide Series, three of his five wins have come at one-mile tracks. His first came at Nazareth Speedway in 1998, Gateway International Raceway in 1997 and Rockingham Speedway in 1998. </p>
<p><strong>KHI IN THE DESERT:</strong> KHI has made a total of 18 starts at Phoenix, earning eight top-five and 11 top-10 finishes. Team co-owner Kevin Harvick earned the highest finish for the organization with a second-place finish in 2009 and in the April and November races in 2010. </p>
<p><strong>CHASSIS HISTORY: </strong> The No. 2 OneMain Financial team will unload chassis No. 068 at Phoenix this weekend. This is the sixth time the No. 2 team has utilized this chassis, including the first event at Phoenix in February where the team finished 12th. The team also used No. 068 in the April and September races at Richmond International Raceway (fourth and sixth), at Iowa Speedway in May (fifth) and New Hampshire in July (12th). </p>
<p><strong>PREVIOUS RACE RECAP: </strong> Sadler and the No. 2 OneMain Financial Chevrolet earned their 23rd top-10 finish Saturday afternoon at Texas Motor Speedway. The KHI team kicked off the weekend with their fifth pole award of the season, but a loose-handling condition late in the race relegated Sadler to a ninth-place finish. </p>
<p><strong>TO THE POINT: </strong> Sadler remains in the second position in the Nationwide Series Driver Points standings. With two events left on the schedule, Sadler sits 17 points behind the leader. </p>
<p><strong>MEET ELLIOTT SADLER: </strong> Fans will have the opportunity to meet Sadler at the OneMain Financial Branch at 7620 East Indian School Road, Scottsdale, Ariz., on Nov. 11. Beginning at 5 p.m., Sadler will meet with fans, sign autographs and take photos. </p>

<p>How do you feel heading into this week&#8217;s race at Phoenix?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Going to Phoenix with two-wide racing, we really don&#8217;t know what to expect. It&#8217;s definitely a wild-card race. We know a little bit about what is going to happen, but it&#8217;s a brand-new race track with the repaving. Once we get racing, track position is going to be crucial. It may be one of those races that changes the game in the championship standings, and our OneMain Financial team is going to do everything we can to make the right adjustments throughout the weekend to have a solid finish before heading to Homestead.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>MOST POPULAR DRIVER:</strong> Sadler is eligible for the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series Most Popular Driver award. Fans can vote for Sadler now through November 17 on <a href="http://www.NASCARNationwideSeries.com">www.NASCARNationwideSeries.com.</a></p>

In 10 previous starts at Phoenix, the driver has one win (2007), six top-five and seven top-10 finishes. He has also led a total of 214 laps around the one-mile oval in the desert. </p>

<p>&#8220;Phoenix is one of my favorite tracks. It&#8217;ll be a completely different weekend though as compared to this past spring&#8217;s race since they&#8217;ve repaved it. I&#8217;m excited to get out there and see if we can&#8217;t get this Rheem Chevrolet into victory lane.&#8221;</p>

LoanStar&#8217;s last race aboard Rusty Wallace Racing&#8217;s No. 62 car was at Texas Motor Speedway in November 2010. Annett and his team owner, Rusty Wallace, will sign autographs at the LoanStar Title Loans location at 305 SW Wilshire Blvd. in Burleson, Texas on Thursday, November 3 from 6-7 p.m. CT.</p>
<p><strong>RWR Toyotas Pay Tribute to Russ Wallace:</strong> With the passing of Russ Wallace earlier this week, both the No. 62 and No. 66 Rusty Wallace Racing entries will honor him by displaying his name above their driver and passenger side doors for Saturday&#8217;s Nationwide Series event at Texas Motor Speedway. Russ molded his children and grandchildren&#8217;s careers in the sport of racing, and to honor his legacy the organization will pay tribute through their race cars this weekend.</p>
<p><strong>Racing to Save Lives:</strong> After declaring St. Jude Children&#8217;s Research Hospital® as his charity of choice during the Kansas Speedway race weekend, Annett will again support the hospital on Saturday by donning their logo on his No. 62 Toyota. This week, the St. Jude decal will run in honor of seven-year-old Darcy Cassidy from Meridian, Texas. Darcy suffered with an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor beginning in November 2008. After 31 radiation treatments and four courses of chemotherapy at St. Jude, she is now thriving back at home in Texas where she recently started second grade. Darcy has proudly returned to her interest in rodeo riding where she finished in the top-15 for barrel racing in the 2010 Pro Youth Rodeo Association. To join Annett in donating to St. Jude, please visit <a href="http://www.stjude.org/racingtosavelives">www.stjude.org/racingtosavelives.</a></p>

<p><strong>Michael Annett on this weekend&#8217;s event in Texas:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got a lot of special things happening for our team this weekend, and most importantly we are running our race cars in honor of Russ Wallace with his name above our doors. Russ was responsible for bringing one of the most legendary families to NASCAR, and it&#8217;s a huge honor for me to be able to be a part of the Wallace racing family. Not only driving for Rusty and alongside Steve, but in the Nationwide Series with Kenny and Mike as well.&#8221;</p>

<p>No. 5 NTB / Service Central Toyota Tundra</p>
<p>Martinsville Speedway – Kroger 200</p>
<p>October 29, 2011</p>
<p>No. 5 NTB / Service Central Toyota Tundra News and Notes </p>
<p>This Week’s Tundra… </strong> The No. 5 NTB / Service Central team and Germain Racing driver Todd Bodine will utilize GR-019 in Saturday’s 200-lap NCWTS race at Martinsville Speedway.  This is the same truck that Bodine most recently drove to an eighth-place finish at New Hampshire, and it was raced to a third-place finish at Bristol in August.  Mike Hillman Jr. will once again be atop the pit box calling the shots for the defending series champion as this marks the 13th race of a collaborative effort between Germain Racing and Randy Moss Motorsports to field the No. 5 Tundra.  Bodine has finished no worse than 13th in those 12 previous races, with an average finish of 8.5.  Bodine is racing the NTB/Service Central paint scheme for the fifth time this season (Kansas, Texas, Atlanta and Talladega). </p>
<p>·      <strong>   Track Stats… </strong> In 15 truck series starts at Martinsville, Bodine has 13 lead-lap finishes to his credit, including five top-five and eight top-10 finishes.  In addition to his NCWTS stats, Bodine has one pole at Martinsville in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition (October 2001).</p>
<p>·        <strong> Closing the Gap… </strong>With his sixth-place finish last weekend at Talladega, Bodine advanced one position to move into sixth place in the driver point standings and is now just 17 points out of the top five with three races remaining.</p>
<p>·        <strong> Watch and Listen… </strong> The Kroger 200 from Martinsville Speedway will be broadcast live on SPEED, MRN Radio and Sirius-XM NASCAR Radio, channel 90, on Saturday afternoon.  SPEED kicks off its pre-race coverage at 1:30 p.m. EDT, and MRN Radio will begin its live broadcast at 1:45 p.m. EDT on Saturday, October 29.  SPEED will also carry live broadcasts of final practice on Friday afternoon (2:00 p.m. EDT) and qualifying on Saturday morning (10:40 a.m. EDT).</p>
<p><strong>Todd Bodine on Martinsville Speedway:</p>
<p>Strategy Heading into Martinsville?</strong></p>
<p>“This team’s strategy is simple. We do what it takes to win. Whatever that may be. If we can’t win, we just get the best finish we can. That’s not gonna change. Do you gamble more than if you’re in the top spots in points? Maybe a little. Maybe you do something you wouldn’t normally do. Maybe you do something different pit strategy-wise that may put you in a better position at the end. It’s hard to say. We’ll do whatever it takes to get the best result we can from our NTB/Service Central Tundra.”</p>
<p><strong>Martinsville is Familiar Surroundings for Bodine…</strong></p>
<p>“I’ve been to races at Martinsville for years. I’ve watched my brothers race there, I know the track owners. I went to school up the street from the track. In so many ways, Martinsville Speedway is a home track for me. There’s no question, a win there would be a big career highlight for me.”</p>
<p><strong>Crew Chief Mike Hillman Jr. on Martinsville:</strong></p>
<p>“Our setup on the No. 5 Tundra will be similar to what we raced in April. The biggest difference is that Goodyear is giving us a different tire than what we’ve raced there in the past. We’ll look at what we’ve got in practice and adjust on the NTB/Service Central Tundra. Our goal this weekend is pretty simple. We want to win. There probably isn’t a single other track on the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series that we’ve done more testing to prepare for over the years. We’ve finished second there, we’ve finished third. This weekend, we want the win.”</p>
