(November 13, 2009)- </strong> TJ Bell and the #11 Red Horse Racing team headed to Sun Valley hoping to earn a solid finish and end the 2009 season on a high note in the final two races. Fueled by Fans.com rejoined the team to sponsor Bell in the Phoenix International Raceway event. Bell qualified 22nd and when the green flag waved under the lights in Phoenix; he was headed to the front. With each lap, Bell was determined to hold his own and not get pushed around on the tight turns of the Arizona short track. He maintained that focus all race, bringing the #11 Fueled by <a href="http://www.Fans.com">Fans.com</a> Toyota Tundra home in the 13th position in the Lucas Oil 150.</p>
<p>Bell and the team worked on his Toyota Tundra in two practice sessions on Thursday and really felt they had a strong truck for the Friday night race. Despite the event falling on Friday the 13th, Bell planned to turn the “bad luck day” into good luck for his team. </p>
<p>He qualified 22nd for the Lucas Oil 150. When the green flag dropped just a few hours later, Bell was on a mission to get to the front. In the first two laps, he had moved from 22nd to the 19th spot. Bell reported that his truck was tight in the center of the corners so when the caution came out on lap seven, crew chief Rick Gay called his driver to pit road. Taking fuel and a wedge adjustment only, Bell restarted 29th. </p>
<p>Just two laps after the restart Bell had repeated his earlier progress; picking up the 23rd spot on lap 13. He continued to move through the field, reaching the 18th spot on lap 20. Bell reported that his Tundra felt much better in the center of the corners after that adjustment but was still tight off. Another caution came out on lap 34 and Bell hit pit road once again. Taking four fresh tires on lap 35, he returned the following lap for fuel and another wedge adjustment. Quick work on pit road put Bell in the 18th spot for the restart. </p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-16746" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bell.jpg"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bell.jpg" alt="T.J. Bell" title="T.J. Bell" width="133" height="200" class="alignright size-full wp-image-16746" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:133px;">T.J. Bell</div></div>Once the green flag was back in the air, it didn’t take him long to claim the 12th spot. Reporting that his Tundra was a little too free off of the corners but was turning really well, Bell maintained the 12th spot for 20 laps. On lap 64, he radioed the crew that his truck was starting to get tighter in the center and off of the corners and then seemed to snap loose. Fighting with the condition, Bell slipped back to the 17th position and eventually lost a lap to the leader on lap 89. The caution flag came out the very next lap and Bell received the “lucky dog” award and was put back on the lead lap. He hit pit road on lap 92 for four fresh tires and returned the following lap for fuel and another wedge adjustment. He restarted 17th.</p>
<p>Catching a break with the “lucky dog” award, Bell wanted to make the best of their good fortune. He was more determined than ever to pick up as many spots as he could in the final 50 laps of the race. Bell worked his way to the 15th position by lap 114 and told the crew his truck started off the run feeling pretty loose but was coming in. A caution came out on lap 121 and Gay told Bell to stay out. With only 24 laps to go, he restarted from the 14th spot.</p>
<p>Bell exercised aggressive patience as he worked on the trucks in front of him while simultaneously making sure no one got by him from behind. Bell worked his way to the 11th spot but got bumped from behind and shuffled out of the way by three trucks the very next lap. He was sitting 15th, frustrated but unwilling to give up. The caution came out on lap 145 and set the field up for a green/white/checkered finish. Bell took the restart from the 15th spot and in one lap, clawed his way to the 13th spot before the caution came out again ending the race. Bell earned a hard fought 13th place finish in the Lucas Oil 150 at Phoenix International Raceway.</p>
<p>The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads to Miami, Florida this weekend. The Ford 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway is scheduled for Friday, November 20th. It will be televised on SPEED Channel at 8:00p.m. EST.</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>

<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><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-16692" style="auto;"><a 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/" rel="attachment wp-att-16692"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bodine.jpg" alt="Todd Bodine, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra" title="Todd Bodine, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra" width="183" height="200" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-16692" /></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 / <a href="http://www.PurpleHeartCars.org">PurpleHeartCars.org</a> Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</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><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-16277" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/06/21/brian-scott-takes-home-third-at-the-milwaukee-mile/attachment/brian-scott/" rel="attachment wp-att-16277"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/brian-scott.jpg" alt="Brian Scott" title="Brian Scott" width="249" height="349" class="alignright size-full wp-image-16277" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:249px;">Brian Scott</div></div><strong>BRIAN SCOTT, No. 16 Albertsons Toyota Tundra, Xpress Motorsports</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>

<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><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><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-3640" style="auto;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3640" href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/nationwide/03/17/msrp-motorsports-and-driver-terry-cook-sponsored-by-cajun-industries-for-scotts-turf-builder-300-at-bristol-motor-speedway/attachment/2009-ncwts-terry-cook/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3640" title="Terry Cook" src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-terry-cook.jpg" alt="Terry Cook" width="160" height="240" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:160px;">Terry Cook</div></div><strong>TERRY COOK, No. 25 Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</strong></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><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>

(October 24, 2009)-</strong> TJ Bell and the #11 Red Horse Racing team were ready to get back to short track racing at Martinsville Speedway. An accident in the spring race left the team hungry for redemption but Mother Nature had different plans for the weekend. Rain showers washed out one practice session and left the team with only one full practice to work on the #11 machine. Bell qualified 21st and geared up for the 200-lap event. More rain on race day delayed the start of the Kroger 200 by almost two hours and washed out the track’s surface. When the green flag fell, Bell was struggling to make his way through traffic. During a restart, a truck in front of Bell abruptly stopped and the #11 hit its bumper. The damage crumpled in the hood of Bell’s Toyota and eventually caused the engine to overheat. Bell was out of the race on lap 87. </p>
<p>Inclement weather left the Red Horse Racing team with only one full practice session to get their Toyota Tundra ready for the race. Bell qualified 21st but felt like his truck would be good for the 200-lap event. </p>
<p>More rain showers on Saturday morning left Martinsville Speedway soaked. The race was delayed but took the green flag shortly before 3:00p.m. In the first hand full of laps, Bell slipped back to the 25th position and reported that his Tundra was loose center and off of the corners. </p>
<p>The first caution of the race came out on lap 32 and crew chief Rick Gay called his driver to pit road. Taking four fresh tires and an air pressure adjustment on lap 33, Bell returned the following lap for fuel and a track bar adjustment. He restarted 27th.</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-16746" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/06/24/tj-bell-has-his-sights-on-the-elvis-trophy/attachment/bell/" rel="attachment wp-att-16746"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bell.jpg" alt="TJ Bell" title="TJ Bell" width="133" height="200" class="alignright size-full wp-image-16746" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:133px;">TJ Bell</div></div>During the next run, Bell reported that the truck was handling much better. He had worked his way to the 25th spot when the caution came out again on lap 52. Opting to stay out, Bell geared up for the restart from the 23rd position.</p>
<p>On the restart, a truck in front of Bell stalled. Unable to duck out of the way, Bell hit the rear end of the slowed truck. The #11 sustained heavy hood damage but the race stayed under green flag conditions and Bell remained on the track. The #11 was still able to keep up its forward progression, capturing the 22nd spot on lap 66.  Bell continued to watch his gauges to make sure the engine was ok. </p>
<p>A caution came out on lap 72 and Gay called Bell to pit road to assess and repair the hood damage. The #11 hit pit road on laps 74 and 75 to give the crew a chance to look over the truck and make the necessary repairs. Bell restarted 21st. </p>
<p>Shortly after the restart, the engine of the #11 starting going sour. Bell reported that the gauges showed his Tundra was losing oil pressure. Gay called Bell to the garage to see if there was anything the team could do. They diagnosed that the engine overheated and was beyond repair. Bell’s day was done after only 87 laps. He was relegated to a 30th place finish in the Kroger 200. Teammate Timothy Peters earned his first career victory and the third win for the Red Horse Racing team.  </p>
<p>The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads to Talladega, Alabama. The Mountain Dew 250 at Talladega Superspeedway is scheduled for Saturday, October 31st. It will be televised on SPEED Channel at 4:00p.m. EDT.</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>

In four previous starts at the paperclip shaped short track, Bell earned one top-10 finish; a sixth place finish in the fall race of 2008. Bell’s last trip to Martinsville this past spring saw his best Martinsville start. After starting from the 15th position, Bell had good run going but a late race accident relegated him a 31st place finish. Bell is looking to redeem himself this trip and earn another great finish for his #11 Red Horse Racing team. </p>
<p>·        <strong>  #11 Team Revs Up As Season Winds Down… </strong> The #11 Red Horse Racing team seems to be getting better and better as the 2009 season comes to a close. In the previous eight races, Bell has finished in the top-15 seven times, including a seventh place finish at Iowa and an eighth place finish at Bristol. In those same eight races, Bell has earned six top-15 starts including a second place start at Iowa. Crew Chief Rick Gay and Bell feel like they have hit on something in recent weeks and look forward to flexing their muscle in the final five events of the season. </p>
<p>·      <strong>  Testing At Caraway…</strong> To prepare for the trip to Martinsville Speedway, Bell and the #11 team headed to Asheboro, North Carolina to test at Caraway Speedway. The short track offers a similar track configuration to Martinsville and served as good preparation for the Kroger 200. </p>

I feel really prepared for this race. The test helped us get where we need to be when we unload and we’ll use practice to get the #11 set-up for the tight turns of Martinsville. This is always a fun race full of lots of hard racing. The spring race didn’t end the way we wanted it to so hopefully we can run up front and stay out of trouble and get the finish we deserve this time.” </p>
<p><strong>Crew Chief Rick Gay on Martinsville Speedway:</strong> “I always look forward to racing at Martinsville. It seems to be a different kind of challenge lately due to the testing ban. We all go to different short tracks to test to simulate Martinsville and once we get to Martinsville we use every ounce of practice we can get. That’s how much it takes to get your truck perfect for the race. What this team has done to prepare is the best possible scenario and hopefully it will pay dividends on Saturday.”</p>
<p><strong>Equipment Information: </strong> The #11 Red Horse Racing team will compete with chassis # 93 in the Kroger 200 at Martinsville Speedway. This is the same chassis that Bell raced at California, Kentucky and Nashville where he finished fifth, 23rd and 10th respectively.   </p>
<p><strong>TJ Bell Seeks Sponsorship Partner:</strong> TJ Bell is still seeking sponsorship for his #11 Toyota Tundra. Red Horse Racing is currently running the #11 without primary sponsorship. For more information on sponsorship opportunities please contact Tom DeLoach at 704-662-0039.</p>

(September 26, 2009)-</strong> Nevada native, TJ Bell couldn’t wait to race on his home track in front of all his home state fans. Hoping that Lady Luck would be on his side, Bell prepared for a good weekend in Sin City. The #11 Red Horse Racing team used two practice sessions to get their Toyota Tundra handling well. Bell qualified 13th and when the Las Vegas 350 went green, he was determined to earn a good finish for this team. He fought a very loose race truck for much of the 146-lap event. After running in the top-10, Bell was so loose his #11 became difficult to drive. He eventually lost a lap to the leaders and fought hard to bring home a 12th place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.</p>
<p>The #11 Red Horse Racing team spent two practice sessions on Saturday morning preparing their Toyota Tundra for the Las Vegas 350 under the lights just miles from the Las Vegas Strip. Feeling good about the condition of his truck in practice, Bell put the #11 in the 13th starting spot.</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-16746" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/06/24/tj-bell-has-his-sights-on-the-elvis-trophy/attachment/bell/" rel="attachment wp-att-16746"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bell.jpg" alt="TJ Bell" title="TJ Bell" width="133" height="200" class="alignright size-full wp-image-16746" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:133px;">TJ Bell</div></div>When the green flag dropped, Bell wasted no time working on the competition. On lap 12 he radioed the crew that his truck was too loose to run the bottom groove of the race track. Staying in the high groove, Bell lost two positions and found himself in the 15th spot when the caution flag flew on lap 21. Crew chief, Rick Gay, called his driver to pit road for four fresh tires. Bell returned the following lap for fuel and a track bar adjustment to help the loose condition. He restarted 16th.</p>
<p>Just after the green flag flew, Bell reported a major problem. He told the crew that his #11 was too loose to drive. Gay told Bell the tires they had just put on the truck must have been a bad set. Forced to make the best of the situation, Gay brought Bell back to pit road when the caution came out again on lap 35. Bell picked up a substantial wedge adjustment. The crew also pulled tape off the nose of the truck and topped it off with fuel. Bell restarted 16th.</p>
<p>The adjustment helped improve the condition of the truck enough that Bell could pick up a few spots. He claimed the 14th position on lap 49. Bell once again came on the radio to tell the team that his truck was bouncing off the left front and then snapping loose. He said his Tundra seemed to be getting worse with each lap. Another caution flew on lap 49 and Bell headed to pit road for more help. The team made a shock adjustment and filled the #11 with fuel. Bell restarted 10th.</p>
<p>When green flag racing resumed, Bell was able to work his way to the eighth spot. He held onto his position in the top-10 for several laps but the longer he ran, the more difficult his truck was to drive. Bell slipped back to the 15th spot by lap 70. He told the crew that the front end of his #11 Tundra was bouncing off the track like a pogo stick. Bell continued to slip back in the field, fighting a very loose truck. He was passed by the leader on lap 93 and was running in the 19th position, one lap down.</p>
<p>As the race continued under green flag conditions, Bell was getting close to his fuel window and knew he would probably have to make a green flag stop. Other competitors peeled off the race track to make their fuel stops and Bell followed on lap 110. Taking fuel and a track bar adjustment only, the #11 merged back on the track in the 17th spot. </p>
<p>Bell worked his way to the 14th position but told the crew his truck felt even worse. A caution flag flew on lap 119 and Bell hit pit road again for fresh tires. Taking four fresh Goodyears on lap 120, he returned the following lap for another wedge adjustment. Bell restarted 13th. He spent the remaining 22 laps maintaining his track position and working to get every thing he could before the race ended. Bell picked up the 12th spot and held on to it until the checkered flag waved. He earned his second 12th place finish in a row and his eighth top-12 of the season.</p>
<p>The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will enjoy three weekends off before heading to Martinsville, Virginia. The Kroger 200 at Martinsville Speedway is scheduled for Saturday, October 24th. It will be televised on SPEED Channel at 1:00p.m. EDT.</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>
<p><strong>T.J. BELL, No. 11 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>

<p>September 26, 2009</p>
<p>·         Bell’s Homecoming… </strong>TJ Bell is returning to his home state this weekend. The Reno, Nevada native considers Las Vegas Motor Speedway his home track and says it would mean the world to him to earn his first career win so close to home. Hopefully Lady Luck will be with him on Saturday evening and help him make that dream a reality. </p>
<p>·      <strong>    Bell at Vegas…</strong> The Las Vegas 350 will mark TJ Bell’s fourth start at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. In three previous starts Bell has one top-10 finish that came last season when he started 13th and finished eighth. He also earned one top-10 start in 2007 when he started from the 10th position. </p>
<p>·        <strong> #11 Team Still Building… </strong> As the season begins to wind down, Bell and the #11 team are winding up their effort in the last seven events. Bell is determined to earn a trip to Victory Lane before the year is over and he believes Las Vegas is the perfect place to make it happen. The #11 Red Horse Racing team has been building momentum in recent weeks. In six of the last seven races Bell has earned a top-15 finish. The team is looking towards the end of the year to earn even more solid finishes and end the season on a high note.</p>
<p>·       <strong> Bell To Sky Dive In Sin City…</strong> Before the adrenaline of the race weekend kicks in, Bell will find a healthy dose of it several hundred feet in the air. He will be sky diving with SPEED Channel personality Ray Dunlap courtesy of Extreme Sky Diving Las Vegas. The thrill seekers will be sky diving on Friday morning in Jean, Nevada. After Bell catches his breathe, he will be participating in an autograph session at the Stratosphere Casino on Friday evening. The night before the big jump he will be bowling in a charity bowling tournament on Thursday evening at the South Point Casino. </p>

(September 19, 2009)- </strong> TJ Bell and the #11 Red Horse Racing team were looking forward to hitting the track at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Right from the start of practice, it looked to be a good weekend for the team. Bell qualified 25th and told the crew his Toyota Tundra would be great for the race. He was slowly but surely making progress during the race despite the difficult to pass style of New Hampshire Motor Speedway. </p>
<p>The team used pit strategy to gain even more ground and Bell worked his way to the fifth position by the half-way point. Fighting a tight-off condition, Bell ran consistent lap times but slipped back a few positions. With just 25 laps to go, Bell was running ninth but had to make a green flag pit stop for fuel along with the rest of the field. Everyone got shuffled up on the green flag stop and Bell found himself in the 14th spot. Unwilling to settle for that position, Bell went to work in the final 20 laps and was able to earn two more positions to bring home a 12th place finish in the Heluva Good 200.</p>
<p>The #11 Red Horse Racing team used two practice sessions on Friday afternoon to prepare their Toyota Tundra for Saturday’s 200-lap race. Bell was fifth quick in the first practice session but finished the final practice 19th. Bell qualified on Saturday morning and put the #11 in the 25th starting spot. He told the team not to worry; he said his truck was driving great but just didn’t have the speed in qualifying. </p>
<p>When the green flag dropped at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Bell was on a mission. He picked up four spots in just the first five laps. A caution came out on lap 37 and Bell told the crew the center of the corners were killing him. Crew chief Rick Gay called his driver to pit road on lap 37 for four fresh tires and an air pressure adjustment. Bell returned the following lap for fuel and a wedge adjustment. He picked up four positions on pit road and restarted 17th.</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-16746" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/06/24/tj-bell-has-his-sights-on-the-elvis-trophy/attachment/bell/" rel="attachment wp-att-16746"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bell.jpg" alt="T.J. Bell" title="T.J. Bell" width="133" height="200" class="alignright size-full wp-image-16746" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:133px;">T.J. Bell</div></div>Bell continued his forward progress despite how difficult it was to complete a pass. He worked his way to 15th by lap 56. Bell told the crew that he needed a little more of the previous adjustment the next time they hit pit road. He said the truck seemed to be bouncing all over the place. A caution flag flew on lap 91 and Bell got his chance to hit pit road on lap 93. Giving him only two right side tires, Gay used pit strategy to gain even more track position. Bell came back the following lap for fuel and another wedge adjustment. The gamble worked and Bell restarted fifth on lap 98.</p>
<p>Running consistent lap times, Bell was able to hold his own in the top-10. He slipped back to the ninth spot eventually but wasn’t willing to give up. Reporting that the truck was really tight when he was right behind another truck, Bell fought hard to keep the ninth position. </p>
<p>The race went green for almost 70 laps and Bell knew that he would have to hit pit road again for fuel before the end of the race. On lap 169 other competitors began making their green flag pit stops. As the leaders peeled off the track, Bell picked up positions, moving to sixth before he hit pit road himself on lap 173. Taking only a splash of gas, Bell merged back on the track in the 14th spot. Reporting the truck was still tight-off, Bell had to make the most of the situation. In the remaining 25 laps, he was determined to get back inside the top-10. A late race caution on lap 189 bunched all the trucks back up and Bell had a shot at getting those spots back. He got a good restart and went to work on the trucks in front of him. Bell was able to pick up two spots before time ran out. He finished the Heluva Good 200 in the 12th spot.  </p>
<p>The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads to Las Vegas, Nevada this weekend. The Las Vegas 350 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is scheduled for Saturday, September 26th. It will be televised on SPEED Channel at 9:30p.m. EDT.</p>

<p><strong>KYLE BUSCH, No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 1st</p>
<p><strong>How was your race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a great race today.  I&#8217;m real proud of the guys and Richie (Wauters, crew chief) for working so hard on these trucks.<br />
We come to these tracks and sort of struggle sometimes.  This is I think our third year together now and we seem to hit on<br />
something a little bit better not quite as good as the 33 (Ron Hornaday) or the 2 (Kevin Harvick) but there at the end we<br />
were out front when it mattered and had just the right amount of fuel in order to make it.  </p>
<p>So, real close on all of that but the<br />
Miccosukee Tundra was great.  We kept up with those guys today.  We did all that we could.  We pressured them, we led a<br />
lot of laps &#8211; the best we&#8217;ve ever run here.  I was going to be alright with a second or a third.  I think that&#8217;s the truck that we<br />
had but the way it played out you&#8217;ve just got let these things play out sometimes and today we did.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you worried about fuel at the end of the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, they told me we were going to be about five short and I was like, &#8216;You&#8217;ve got to be kidding me.  We just stopped<br />
and filled this thing.&#8217;  So, it barely made it.  It ran out coming into victory lane there.  Man, what an awesome Tundra this<br />
was today.  It was able to keep up with the Chevrolets at least.  I&#8217;m real proud of Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and all of<br />
these guys that work so hard on this Miccosukee Tundra to get it here.  Thank Graceway Pharmaceuticals, thank the fans,<br />
thank NOS Energy Drink and everybody that makes this program possible for us.  It&#8217;s cool, you know, you come to Loudon<br />
and you&#8217;ve got five race divisions or whatever it is in one weekend and they&#8217;ve still got another one left to go here tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Are you excited to have won here at Loudon in all three NASCAR divisions?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s cool, man.  That&#8217;s something special.  We look to do that everywhere we go but we&#8217;ve been fortunate enough to<br />
have good race trucks like we&#8217;ve had this year.  I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s wrong with the right front tire but it was vibrating and<br />
shaking the last 60 laps.  We barely made it there.  I was waiting to get run over there on that last restart.  I&#8217;m glad I was out<br />
front being the one that was being chased instead of being the guy that had to chase the others.  It was fun.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you able to run a lot of laps on the tires today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We sure did but with 60 to go my right front started vibrating and shaking.  I don&#8217;t know if it was the brakes or the tires or<br />
what but it never went away even under cautions so I take it it had to be the tires.  Unfortunately there we had to battle<br />
through that but we did.  A lot of good things came out of today and I&#8217;m real proud of these guys.  They had good pit stops<br />
today.  Our fuel mileage, we might need another mathematician if anybody out there wants to come out there and work for<br />
us we&#8217;ll certainly take a look.  We were too close to call today.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Is it more interesting when it&#8217;s a two on one battle?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, it was a battle there.  It was a battle from lap one coming out of turn 2 with (Mike) Skinner.  Really, it&#8217;s a hard<br />
fought race track.  It&#8217;s real hard to pass for these trucks for some reason &#8211; they get aero sensitive behind other trucks.  For<br />
me, that&#8217;s how (Ron) Hornaday got by me.  I got in traffic a little bit and slowed down.  He kept going.  He had a better<br />
turning car or something that just allowed him to get by me.  It was cool the way that it raced and the way that it played out<br />
and we&#8217;re glad that we were able to win.  We came down and had a quick pit stop and took four seconds of gas which we<br />
probably needed about four and a half to be a little bit safer but we made it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How thankful were you for the final caution?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I think we would&#8217;ve been close.  How many laps was the caution? Three?  It was a three-lap caution.  I was backing off<br />
and trying to save there during that green-flag run and I think I had about a second and a half gap or maybe a second gap<br />
back to those guys behind me.  It would&#8217;ve been hard for them to get by me anyways.  We saw that after the restart so I was<br />
trying to save as much as I could a little bit in order to make it.  </p>
<p>Fortunately, we didn&#8217;t have to find out.  We did have that<br />
caution and I kept saving underneath the caution.  Just shutting it off and trying to roll as much as I could.  We made it.  We<br />
made it and made enough to run a cool down lap, do a mini burnout because I didn&#8217;t know if I could do a burnout or not<br />
with the motor rule the way it is and then on the way driving into victory lane it ran out.  It was pretty close.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you surprised that Ron Hornaday and Kevin Harvick couldn&#8217;t gain on you more?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;In that last run, yeah.  I thought the 2 (Kevin Harvick) might have been better than the 33 (Ron Hornaday) and he might<br />
have got by and gone for the win.  But (Kevin) Harvick is protecting points so he finished behind the 33 (Ron Hornaday) I<br />
believe and protected those five points from (Ron) Hornaday dropping back or somebody else coming forward.  That&#8217;s what<br />
he&#8217;s here to do.  </p>
<p>He&#8217;s here to just run on the tailgate of the 33 and it left the door open for me to win the race.  I don&#8217;t care.<br />
We were upfront enough that we were able to do that and we were in that position that we could take advantage of that.  I&#8217;m<br />
glad I didn&#8217;t have to race (Kevin) Harvick because I felt like he had the better tires and the better truck.  He did what he<br />
needed to do to try to win himself and his team a championship.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>RICHIE WAUTERS, crew chief, No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>What are your thoughts on the win?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a great win.  It&#8217;s always nice to have Kyle (Busch) driving the truck of course.  He does a great job.  At the end<br />
there we took that four seconds of fuel and we&#8217;d been figuring all day on the fuel mileage and we&#8217;re two-tenths that we&#8217;re<br />
leaving to the safe side so we knew we had a little bit but we quite didn&#8217;t get in as much as we thought we did on the fuel<br />
stop so we were just hoping that we could pick everything up that was in the cell and luckily enough we were able to do<br />
that.  (Kevin) Harvick had a good truck all day and when he put tires on at the end there, at that last pit stop, he was pretty<br />
good.  Kyle (Busch) said he had a bad vibration so we thought we had a tire problem but it all worked out and he was able -<br />
one he got out back in the clean air &#8211; to stay out front.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>STACY COMPTON, No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance Toyota Tundra, Wyler Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  6th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with a top-10 finish today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, but a little disappointed that we did not get a top-five.  We got rooted a little bit by the 13 (Johnny Sauter) right there<br />
on the last lap.  That&#8217;s Johnny (Sauter) for you.  It&#8217;s a shame.  We had a good truck and great pit stops.  Marcus (Richmond<br />
II, crew chief) made good calls all day.  We&#8217;ll take it.  We just need to keep doing stuff like this and building on it.  We ran<br />
top-seven all day.  We got shuffled back one time when some guys did some pit strategy.  It was a good day for us.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>BRIAN SCOTT, No. 16 Toyota Tundra, Xpress Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  7th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with your run today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was tough.  It was hard.  We got some damage on the front that really affected the handling of our car on pit road and that<br />
put us behind.  We had to come in and repair the damage and gave away all of our track position.  We were in the back, tried<br />
everything we could to get it up and we just weren&#8217;t good enough with the front end damage.  All in all, I think we sacrificed a<br />
decent finish out of it and I guess we&#8217;ll bring our Tundra to Vegas and try to have a better run.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 Exide Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  8th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We missed the setup on this Exide truck.  I thought it was pretty good right there at the start, and all day yesterday in practice<br />
in race trim I thought it was pretty good.  I don&#8217;t really know exactly what happened &#8211; it just got tighter and tighter and<br />
tighter.  And we expected the race track to get tighter, we just missed the setup on it.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>MAX PAPIS, No. 9 GEICO Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  22nd</p>
<p><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:  </strong>24th</p>
<p><strong>What happened to take you out of the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t remember this ever happening to a Tundra for a long time.  A fuel pump quit.  The whole fuel pressure stopped<br />
running.  Very, very unusual but that&#8217;s the story of our season to this point.  If it wasn&#8217;t for bad luck we wouldn&#8217;t have any.<br />
I&#8217;m really disappointed for Lumber Liquidators.  </p>
<p>Coming back onboard and this is Tom Sullivan&#8217;s home area growing up in<br />
New England.  We wanted to give him a good run and we thought we could have our old magic back in that yellow truck.<br />
We were running great, just a few laps and we were up to ninth already.  The truck was really good.  It turned the center<br />
corner good, good forward bite and it was handling good.  We had a good truck, that&#8217;s the upside.  The downside is it&#8217;s<br />
sitting here.&#8221;</p>

<p>New Hampshire Motor Speedway</p>
<p>Heluva Good 200</p>
<p>September 19, 2009</p>
<p>·          Bell at Loudon…</strong> The Heluva Good 200 will mark TJ Bell’s fourth start at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. In three previous starts Bell has an average finish of 15th and completed all but one of the 600 laps possible. Last season at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Bell earned a 10th place finish after starting from the 24th position. </p>
<p>·       <strong>  Keeping the Momentum Going…</strong> Bell and the #11 team have turned their season around this summer. In the last five events, Bell has earned three top-10 finishes. He was poised for another top-10 last weekend at Gateway when a mid-race accident took him out of the race. This team is not looking backwards; they are heading to New Hampshire with the determination to bring home another top-10 finish.</p>
<p>·          <strong>A Love Of Sports Led Claveloux to the #11 Pit Crew…</strong> Dick Claveloux was a sports fanatic with an interest in NASCAR but didn’t really know how to break into the business. Playing sports his entire life in Dover, Delaware, Claveloux moved to NC looking for a change and quickly found one. He met his wife just three weeks later and she encouraged him to attend a pit crew school she had heard of. </p>
<p>Claveloux began attending Pit Crew U, owned by RHR Owners, Tom DeLoach and Jeff Hammond. He completed Pit Crew U and went on to the 5 Off 5 On program. Claveloux had never served on a pit crew before but had all the skills necessary to excel at it. He got his shot with Red Horse Racing as the rear tire carrier for the #11 team and hasn’t looked back since. Claveloux says he wouldn’t change his job for anything. He loves the team camaraderie and the constant athletic challenge.</p>

Bell</div></div><strong>TJ Bell on racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway</strong> “I am so ready for this race. We have been running really well lately. Last week we didn’t get the finish we deserved but we are capable of earning top-10’s every weekend and that is all we can ask. New Hampshire is a great track and I like running there. It’s really racy and you will see a lot of two-wide racing. It’s fun for the fans to watch and really fun for us in the driver’s seat.”</p>
<p><strong>Crew Chief Rick Gay on New Hampshire International Speedway</strong> “Last week is behind us and we are still building momentum for the end of the year. This team has been working really hard on trucks for the remaining races. We are using all the resources that TRD has given us and making the most of them. I’m excited to see how the rest of this season unfolds. Each week TJ gains more confidence so as the season is winding down our program is getting better and better.”</p>
<p><strong>Equipment Information</strong> The #11 Red Horse Racing team will compete with chassis # 65 in the Heluva Good 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. This is the same chassis that Bell raced at Michigan International Speedway where he started 29th and finished 18th.   </p>
<p><strong>TJ Bell Seeks Sponsorship Partner</strong> TJ Bell is still seeking sponsorship for his #.11 Toyota Tundra. Red Horse Racing is currently running the #11 without primary sponsorship. For more information on sponsorship opportunities please contact Tom DeLoach at 704-662-0039.</p>
