<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>Finishing Position: </strong> 12th</p>
<p><strong>DAVID STARR, No. 24 Autism Speaks / Zachry Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  15th</p>

<p>New Hampshire Motor Speedway &#8211; September 19, 2009</strong></p>
<p>- Kyle Busch won in his third consecutive NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) race &#8212; and fifth of the 2009<br />

<p>- It marks the first time since joining series competition in 2004 that a Tundra has won five consecutive races.  Busch won<br />
three races (Bristol, Chicagoland and New Hampshire) and Mike Skinner won a pair (Iowa and Gateway).</p>
<p>- Stacy Compton (sixth), Brian Scott (seventh) and Mike Skinner (eighth) also posted top-10 finishes for Toyota on<br />
Saturday at the one-mile New England oval.</p>
<p>- Tundra drivers T.J. Bell (12th), David Starr (13th), Terry Cook (16th), Timothy Peters (19th), Tayler Malsam (20th), Aric<br />
Almirola (21st), Max Papis (22nd) and Todd Bodine (24th) were also in the field.</p>
<p>- It is the 11th victory of 2009 for Toyota and 62nd since joining series competition in 2004.</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>T.J. BELL, No. 11 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  12th</p>
<p><strong>DAVID STARR, No. 24 Zachry Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 13th</p>
<p><strong>TERRY COOK, No. 25 Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>

<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 One Eighty Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 20th</p>
<p><strong>ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 15 Graceway Pharmaceuticals Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 21st</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>Finishing Position:</strong>  1st</p>
<p><strong>How good does it feel to win tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;This one only took us a couple of hours, the last one took three days.  I&#8217;ll tell you, this Tundra, Jon Dysinger (engine<br />
builder) and those guys up there at Triad, they do such a fantastic job.  This team, David Dollar (co-owner, Randy Moss<br />
Motorsports), Randy Moss (co-owner, Randy Moss Motorsports) you better call me!  It was just awesome.  Toyota of Des<br />
Moines, Exide Batteries, PC Miler Navigator folks are up here tonight and they were nice enough to help out Tayler<br />
(Malsam) on his truck.  Man, that was awesome.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Was your truck as dominate as it looked tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I tell you, all I did tonight was ride on a thoroughbred.  I think I hurt Eric&#8217;s (Phillips, crew chief) feelings a little bit<br />
yesterday because we took an old backup truck that our teammate gave us that Jeff Hensley and I actually built a couple of<br />
years ago and it was faster than this truck and I was struggling to not keep that truck out and race it.  And Eric (Phillips,<br />
crew chief) said, &#8216;Just work with me.  </p>
<p>Just give me a chance and I&#8217;ll fix this thing and get it going.&#8217;  He went in there and he<br />
started building shocks and he really, really won this race.  The driver screwed up on pit road but the crew chief did a<br />
fantastic job with the truck.  Man, it drove good.  All of the adjustments and everything was just really, really good.  We<br />
struggled on pit road this year a lot and tonight they were flawless.  The only flaw they had was the driver and we overcame<br />
it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How important was your win tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Every win is important.  Probably one of the proudest moments in my whole racing career other than the first ever points<br />
race at Phoenix where we had to pass Terry Labonte sideways on the last corner to win, the Bristol trophy stands out -<br />
that&#8217;s huge.  I&#8217;ve got a trophy at Daytona that&#8217;s huge, but we&#8217;ve been very, very blessed in our career to get the first of<br />
things.  We won the first championship, we won the first points race and tonight we won the first race at Iowa.  </p>
<p>We&#8217;ve just been very, very blessed with being able to do that.  I&#8217;m all for adding some more new tracks.  This is pretty cool.  Really,<br />
I&#8217;m all for coming back to Iowa two or three times.  I just love this place.  We came up here and tested a couple years ago<br />
before they banned the testing policy and we were just really, really fast.  We took that truck to Kentucky and didn&#8217;t really<br />
do anything to it and won the race.  So I knew when we came back to Iowa this style of track suits my driving style.<br />
Obviously it suits Eric (Phillips, crew chief).  He did a fantastic job setting the truck up.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you out of gas at the end of the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Well, the motor died coming off of (turn) four there.  I don&#8217;t know if it was a pick up thing or vapor lock or what it did.  It<br />
just quit and it quit off of (turn) two and then it quit off of (turn) four.  The pressure went all the way down.  I think it might<br />
have boiled some fuel or something.  I just nursed her along there and this thing was so fast through the corner it didn&#8217;t<br />
matter what it was doing on the straightaway.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How did you feel on the final restart?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I was really, really nervous.  I started the race in the same place all night and I figured the competition would be thinking,<br />
&#8216;Well, he&#8217;s going to change it up.  He&#8217;s going to do something different.&#8217;  So I started it in the same place.  Sometimes the<br />
biggest surprise is no surprise.  We got a really good restart and we came off of (turn) two over there and got back around<br />
there and I came off of four and the thing ran out of gas and I looked at the gauge and the fuel pressure was at zero and the<br />
thing picked back up.  I shook it around a little bit.  </p>
<p>I yelled at Eric (Phillips, crew chief) and said, &#8216;I think we&#8217;re out of gas,<br />
we&#8217;re out of gas!&#8217; He&#8217;s like, &#8216;Well just keep going.  What do you want me to do about it?&#8217;  It picked back up and she made<br />
it back around and had enough left for a burnout.  So it obviously wasn&#8217;t out of gas.  Maybe it vapor locked or got hot or<br />
something.  Maybe my nerves got some air in it, I&#8217;m not sure.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>ERIC PHILLIPS, crew chief, No. 5 Toyota of Des Moines Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>What did you think of Mike Skinner&#8217;s win tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I knew we had a good truck yesterday.  Like Mike (Skinner) said, he liked that other truck but we&#8217;ve run this truck a lot.<br />
It&#8217;s been really good to us.  It seems to be really good in race mode and I told him to just stick with me and we&#8217;d work on it.<br />
And we did make it a lot better.  All of my guys did a good job.  I knew we had a good truck last night.  I&#8217;ve been about half<br />
sick today, it seems like it&#8217;s been so long with the race starting at nine.  I&#8217;m just really proud of all of the guys on this<br />
Tundra and Mike (Skinner) and everybody working on this thing all weekend.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-18657" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/07/14/aric-almirola-returns-to-kentucky-speedway/attachment/aa/" rel="attachment wp-att-18657"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/AA.jpg" alt="Aric Almirola" title="Aric Almirola" width="150" height="200" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-18657" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:150px;">Aric Almirola</div></div><strong>ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 15 Graceway Pharmaceuticals Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  2nd</p>
<p><strong>Can you talk about your run tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a weird night.  We weren&#8217;t very good either in practice yesterday and my guys worked really, really hard.  They<br />
were dirty from head to toe, covered in grease and everything else yesterday.  We changed everything but the driver and just<br />
couldn&#8217;t find any speed.  We went pretty much back to how we unloaded and fired off today and we were really good.  Not<br />
really sure what we were fighting there yesterday but our Graceway Pharmaceuticals Toyota was real good today.  We<br />
struggled a little bit in the pits tonight but thankfully enough this tire was hard enough that we could take two tires there at<br />
the end and we held on for second.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How does it feel to earn your career best finish in this series?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It feels good.  I&#8217;ve run in the truck series quite a bit and to not get any better finishes than this is obviously a little<br />
disappointing.  To be able to come home second, and that is a career best, I&#8217;m proud of that.  I&#8217;m proud of all my guys and<br />
I&#8217;m proud of Billy Ballew Motorsports.  It seems like we&#8217;ve run really well.  We&#8217;ve run top-five I think six or seven of the<br />
last eight or nine races that we&#8217;ve run.  </p>
<p>We&#8217;re always up front.  We&#8217;re always running good.  It&#8217;s a lot of fun and I enjoy<br />
racing when you can race like that.  I want to thank Billy Ballew a lot for the opportunity that he&#8217;s given me.  Man, we&#8217;re<br />
just so close and if we keep running like this and if we keep putting ourselves in contention to win races and we can see the<br />
front eventually it will happen.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How were your pit stops tonight?</strong><br />
&#8220;Our first stop was pretty bad and we just lost so much track position.  I knew we had to get it back.  I told Doug (George,<br />
crew chief) we had to get it back somehow, someway so we took two tires.  That was a great call on Doug&#8217;s (George, crew<br />
chief) part to get us back up there.  I just want to thank Graceway Pharmaceuticals for coming back onboard this weekend.<br />
Billy Ballew (team owner) is just trying everything he can to get this race truck to the race track every single weekend and<br />
Graceway Pharmaceuticals stepped up big for us.  I just want to thank them and thank these fans.  What an awesome race<br />
track and the fans here are just awesome and so enthusiastic.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you think you had a shot to pass Mike Skinner on the final restart?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;No.  Obviously the thought crosses your mind.  You don&#8217;t ever give up on yourself or your race team.  So anytime you&#8217;re<br />
running second with five to go you&#8217;d think that you&#8217;d like to have a shot to win the race, but man (Mike) Skinner was<br />
unbelievable tonight.  His truck was really good.  It turned really good.  He had good forward bite and our truck just wasn&#8217;t<br />
good enough to do that.  If we made it turn good, it would turn too good.  And if we snugged it up it wouldn&#8217;t turn good<br />
enough.  We really were on a razorblade tonight as far as trying to get our truck to handle the way we wanted it to.  It would<br />
just go from loose to tight and we could never get a happy medium.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:  </strong> 11th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;After the way we started off the weekend, we&#8217;ll take eleventh.  We made a lot of gains from where we were during<br />
practice yesterday and I actually thought we have a good shot at a top-ten finish here.  But we just got really tight whenever<br />
we were in traffic.  I couldn&#8217;t get up behind anyone and get a run on him because we lost the nose and pushed up the track.<br />
It was really bad in turns three and four.  But it was a good points night for us, we gained points on just about everyone<br />
we&#8217;re battling in the standings.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>What happened to take you out of the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I went down into turn one that lap and felt contact in the left rear quarter panel.  I tried to catch it but it shot up the track.  We<br />
made some pretty good contact with the wall and tore the truck up.  I&#8217;m okay, just a little upset.  We&#8217;re trying to get up and<br />
finish in the top five in the points and the past two weeks have hurt.  We&#8217;re disappointed but we aren&#8217;t going to give up.<br />
We&#8217;re going to regroup and head to St. Louis and try to win that race and turn our momentum around.&#8221;</p>

<p>Chicagoland Speedway</p>
<p>Enjoy Illinois.com 225</p>
<p>August 28, 2009</strong></p>
<p>·          <strong>Peters New To Chicagoland… </strong>The EnjoyIllinois 225 will mark the first race at Chicagoland Speedway for both the Camping World Truck Series and Timothy Peters. Peters has tested at the Illinois 1.5-mile several times, turning hundreds of laps on the truck in recent years. Although a short track racer at heart, Peters is strong on the intermediate tracks as well. He has earned six top-15 finishes, including four top-10’s in only nine intermediate track races this season.  </p>
<p>·          <strong>Keeping the Momentum Going… </strong> Peters and his #17 Strutmasters.com team have been turning heads since joining Red Horse Racing. In just seven races, they have earned five top-10 finishes, including back to back top-10 finishes in the past two events. Last weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway, Peters overcame a flat tire and subsequent unscheduled pit stop late in the race to come back and finish 10th. The race before that, he tied his career best finish of fourth at Nashville Superspeedway and earned his first career pole. Peters is still chasing that first trip to Victory Lane but feels confident it’s not too far away.</p>
<p>·        <strong>  Birthday Boy…</strong> Timothy Peters will celebrate his 29th birthday on August 29th, just one day after the Chicagoland Race. He would love to kick-off the Birthday weekend with a trip to Victory Lane. RHR teammate TJ Bell also celebrates his birthday this week. Bell turns 29 just four days before Peters.</p>
<p>·       <strong>   Mechanic Adds Color to the #17 Team…</strong> Mark Schmuck serves as mechanic and comic relief for the #17 Strutmasters.com team. Always full of energy and a witty comment to keep everyone laughing, Schmuck has made NASCAR his home for the past decade. Taking a risk and moving to Mooresville, NC from Virginia Beach, Virginia in 1999, Schmuck was hired by driver Mike McLaughlin to work on his Nationwide Series car. </p>
<p>The team was Innovative Motorsports and Schmuck worked side by side with Rick Gay, who is now the #11 crew chief at RHR. In his NASCAR career, Schmuck has worked in all three top NASCAR series including teams such as Atkins Motorsports and  DEI. He joined RHR in 2009 as a Jackman but also serves as a mechanic on the road and a fabricator at the shop. Schmuck is looking forward to the trip to Chicago for one special reason&#8212;Chicago Style Pizza. </p>
<p><strong>Strutmasters.com On Board…</strong> Strutmasters was born in owner Chip Lofton&#8217;s converted dairy barn in 1999. It provides consumers an affordable alternative to expensive and problematic air ride suspension systems found on luxury vehicles. The company ships suspension conversion kits to thousands of auto repair shops, parts stores and dealers across North America. Retail customers can order by visiting the <a href="http://www.Strutmasters.com">Strutmasters.com</a> website. </p>

<p>“I’m really looking forward to Chicagoland. I have tested there several times in the past and really like the race track. It’s so much like Kansas and that’s a track I really like. We are taking my favorite truck to Chicago and I’m really excited about that. This is our truck from Michigan, Kentucky and Nashville and we finished in the top-10 all three times with it. I’m looking forward to another good race and being there at the end racing for a win.” </p>
<p><strong>Crew Chief Chad Kendrick on Chicagoland Speedway </strong></p>
<p>“Timothy has been really good on the mile and a half tracks this year. We tested Chicago together last year and ran more than 100 laps so I know he feels comfortable on the track. That will really go along way on Friday towards getting us where we need to be. We have so much momentum right now and we need to get another top-10, hopefully a top-five finish, and keep that going.”</p>
<p>Equipment Information: Timothy Peters will compete with chassis # 138 in the EnjoyIllinois 225 at Chicagoland Speedway. This is the same chassis he raced at Michigan, Kentucky, and Nashville where he finished eighth, fourth and fourth respectively.</p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 1st</p>
<p><strong>What makes you so strong at Bristol Motor Speedway?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I love this place.  It&#8217;s fun for all of us drivers.  It&#8217;s a fun place to race and for some reason I have really taken to the new<br />
surface.  I love the old surface, I love the new one.  I really have to thank Miccosukee, Toyota, NOS Energy Drink, the fans<br />
- great fans for coming out on a Wednesday night.  Luckily, we have a day off tomorrow.  The fans don&#8217;t &#8211; they have to go<br />
over to Bristol Speed Street and have some fun over there.  Thank Gillette, Marquis Jets and everybody else that makes this<br />
program possible.  Billy Ballew for putting Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and I back together.  We knew we were going to<br />
come here with a fast truck &#8211; we&#8217;ve been fast every time we&#8217;ve been here.  It was exciting to be able to capitalize like that<br />
tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How will this win help you in the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races at Bristol this weekend?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It just gets the momentum going and tells you that you can do it.  You finish second, fifth, 10th, whatever &#8211; third in<br />
Nationwide and truck series races and you can&#8217;t win on the Cup side.  It&#8217;s like, man, it&#8217;s a downer, it&#8217;s a downer and you<br />
don&#8217;t feel very good about yourself.  I&#8217;m my self&#8217;s biggest critic.  This definitely helps out and gets me back in the right<br />
mindset and gets me back in the right frame.  </p>
<p>I love coming to Bristol anyway in the fall.  I always run well here.  I&#8217;m<br />
looking forward to the Nationwide race &#8211; we should have won five in a row on that side, but we&#8217;ve had pit issues or<br />
miscues by myself or whatever.  We&#8217;ll get back on it.  I want to say congrats to Matt Crafton &#8211; even though he finished<br />
second to me and (Ron) Hornaday was third it really didn&#8217;t gain him any points.  He&#8217;s trying to get up there and get those<br />
guys &#8211; we&#8217;re trying to get the owner&#8217;s deal, but unfortunately one-two-three in points were one-two-three tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you confident that you had enough fuel to make it on only the one pit stop?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We did this last year and we made it so I wasn&#8217;t really concerned.  Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and these guys do a good<br />
job at that and the Toyota guys get awesome fuel mileage for us.  We&#8217;ve seen Dennis Setzer make it 200 laps at Mansfield<br />
one time and this place is bigger than that &#8211; carries a lot more speed and a lot more throttle.  We were just able to conserve<br />
what we needed and obviously there was enough for a burnout and everything.  Hopefully, the fans enjoyed that and we&#8217;ll<br />
be able to take this on and hopefully go out the rest of the year and win a few more.  Hopefully we can sweep this<br />
weekend.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How special is your chemistry with this race team?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I love Billy (Ballew, owner) to death and all these guys.  Doug (George, 15 crew chief) and all the guys on the 15 (Aric<br />
Almirola) truck this weekend, all the guys that were with me earlier this year on the 51.  It&#8217;s just amazing &#8211; the guys at the<br />
shop do a great job working on these things and building them and making them what we need them to be.  Unfortunately,<br />
the 15 (Almirola) didn&#8217;t have the night they were looking for, but we certainly did and we&#8217;re proud of that.  </p>
<p>Of course, the 88 (Matt Crafton) and the 33 (Ron Hornaday) were battling for point and they finished right behind us.  Matt (Crafton), he didn&#8217;t gain any ground on the 33 (Hornaday) so unfortunately for those guys, they have to go another week.  Hopefully we can too and we can get a couple more wins.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How was your race overall tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a good night for us.  I&#8217;m really proud of the whole Miccosukee Toyota team, they did a great job.  It&#8217;s hard to come<br />
out here every week and race with minimal guys, but we try to do it and we do the best we can.  Real proud of all the guys<br />
that we had today &#8211; I worked them to death in practice.  I didn&#8217;t really think we had a great truck.  It was close, it was about<br />
the same as what we had last year &#8211; just a few minor differences so we just tried to improve on that a little bit.  Throughout<br />
the race there in the first little bit, we started coming forward &#8211; we started using the top and kind of snookered guys.  We<br />
were the first ones up there and the first ones to make it work.  </p>
<p>I got up to the lead and then pitted &#8211; we had to pass a couple more guys that didn&#8217;t pit &#8211; the 17 (Timothy Peters), the 16 (Brian Scott) and the 23 (Jason White) &#8211; he was a battle and that was fun.  Jason White, he&#8217;s a close friend of Denny&#8217;s (Hamlin) and a friend of mine and he was having a moment there so it was a battle for sure.  He was tough and he had a good truck.  I&#8217;m proud of those guys too &#8211; they had a good truck.  Jason (White) did a good job with what he had to do.  Unfortunately, there he had to pit and he wasn&#8217;t on quite the right pit strategy, but from there we made it work.  I thought (Matt) Crafton was coming, but he couldn&#8217;t get me on the long run. Our truck was good and it just kept ticking and kept going.  I&#8217;m just real proud of how well it ran tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p>From a point&#8217;s perspective, how does tonight&#8217;s race compare to what the Nationwide and Cup races will be like for you?<br />
&#8220;You&#8217;re 90 percent right over here, there&#8217;s still another 10 percent that we are trying to chase in points to get the owner&#8217;s<br />
deal.  We can take risks a lot more here than we can anywhere else.  Nationwide stuff &#8211; we&#8217;ve got a good point lead, but<br />
you&#8217;re never comfortable.  You just have to keep ticking and keep plugging away.  </p>
<p>We&#8217;ve been fast every time we&#8217;ve been<br />
here the past few times in the Nationwide car &#8211; we just haven&#8217;t put it all together.  We need a good, solid night on Friday<br />
night to put it all together to try to win this thing.  We can be fast and we have the cars capable of winning, we just haven&#8217;t<br />
been able to produce the result.  On Saturday night we&#8217;ve been really good here in the Cup cars too.  Again, we&#8217;ll just try to<br />
work on the car to the best we can to make it good.  I&#8217;ve never really qualified well here in that car so if we qualify in the<br />
back and then work our way up towards the front &#8211; hopefully our car will be good on the long run &#8211; that&#8217;s what we need.<br />
Then we can capitalize on a strong run here &#8211; we need a top-five.  If we finish in the top-five these next three races then<br />
we&#8217;ll make the &#8216;Chase.&#8217;  If we can do that then we&#8217;ll be okay.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How does this win help you heading into the next three Cup races?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I think the win does help because it just sets the tone for the weekend.  It kind of gives myself a little momentum rolling<br />
back into this deal.  I&#8217;ve been frustrated lately thinking it&#8217;s been me that haven&#8217;t been able to win races and when you can<br />
get a vehicle that&#8217;s capable of winning and you win with it &#8211; it shows that you still have it and you can still do it.  I had a<br />
late model race after Indy that I won &#8211; I had a good car.  I had a late model race just this past week that I was running up<br />
front and we broke and then tonight we won.  </p>
<p>the past few weeks have been good &#8211; we&#8217;ve been getting better on the Cup<br />
side.  I feel like we have the opportunity to win these next three.  Atlanta might be a little bit tough because the competition<br />
has really caught up to us here as of late.  Last year we finished first and fifth there and this spring we ran 19th, three laps<br />
down.  It definitely changed a lot this spring and we need to get back to a little bit more of something that we did last year<br />
and try to finish fifth.  Just take a fifth and get out there and go to Richmond where we, for some reason, knock on wood,<br />
seem to run well there so I love going there.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 5th</p>
<p><strong>How much fun was it to race against Ryan Newman in the closing laps?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That was a lot of fun to be able to race a Cup veteran like that and race him hard.  For him to show me respect and for me<br />
to rough him up a little bit and still have good respect between us.  It was a good night for our Albertson&#8217;s Tundra.  A fun<br />
night here at Bristol &#8211; it&#8217;s fun racing under the lights and it&#8217;s fun racing hard like that.  I&#8217;ll do that everyday of the week.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you able to use the second groove during the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The second groove was really good early and I was really good on it early, but then it just went away from me.  It just<br />
disappeared &#8211; we didn&#8217;t have enough front grip to keep it turning.  It took away a lot of the ability to pass and run fast, but<br />
still a good night.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>How was your race truck tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was pretty good.  I don&#8217;t know if we had a bad set of tires in practice or what, but we started the race way, way too loose.<br />
I was just hanging on for dear life.  These guys worked really, really hard in the pits and they made a lot of changes.  We<br />
came down pit road a lot and gave up a lot of track position, but they got the truck driving a lot better and it turned out to be<br />
a decent night for us.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>How was your race truck today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Our Zachry Toyota Tundra was pretty awesome today.  When our backs are up against the walls, we just keep fighting and<br />
keep digging.  We weren&#8217;t very good during practice and in second practice we weren&#8217;t very good, but we just stayed on<br />
our game plan.  Everybody just worked hard and we never gave up.  We battled back from adversity and got a decent finish<br />
of seventh.  When the race started I felt like we were anywhere from a 15th to a 20th-place truck.  </p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter where you start &#8211; it&#8217;s how you finish.  We fought all the way to the end.  It just shows you the character of this racing team and the attitude, the morale &#8211; they just never give up.  Everybody just keeps a smile on their race and they keep digging even when we have our backs up against the wall.  I can&#8217;t say enough about this race team.  We didn&#8217;t get what we wanted &#8211; we wanted to win, but we got a decent finish to keep us in the championship points so we&#8217;ll take it.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>How was your race truck tonight?</strong><br />
&#8220;It was really good &#8211; our Toyota Tundra was awesome.  I just wish I could have communicated with the guys a little bit better.<br />
It&#8217;s hard to give them hand signals for loose-in and tight-off so I had to pick one and we tightened it up a little bit.  It kind of<br />
hurt us, but all in all for the circumstances and way this year has gone I am really happy with Red Horse Racing Tundra<br />
tonight.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>What happened that caused your early accident?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We missed the set-up pretty good and it was really loose.  I tried to conserve a little bit and save the tires.  The leaders<br />
started coming so I had to get going.  The guys in front of me were racing pretty hard.  I finally got under Tayler Malsam<br />
and we were so loose &#8211; he pinched me down and sucked me around.  Believe it or not &#8211; you get sucked around at Bristol.<br />
But I got loose and I got into him &#8211; it was my fault.  It wasn&#8217;t anything that Tayler (Malsam) did wrong at all.  We just<br />
missed the set-up.&#8221;</p>

<p>Post-Race Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>Nashville Superspeedway &#8211; August 1, 2009</strong></p>
<p>- Brian Scott (second) was the highest-finishing Toyota driver in Saturday night&#8217;s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series<br />
(NCWTS) Toyota Tundra 200 at Nashville Superspeedway.</p>
<p>- Timothy Peters started on the pole and led the first 33 laps.  He finished fourth.</p>
<p>- Other Tundra drivers in the top-20 were Tayler Malsam (ninth), T.J. Bell (10th), Travis Kvapil (11th), Blake Feese (12th),<br />
Todd Bodine (13th), Mike Skinner (14th), Stacy Compton (15th), David Starr (18th) and Terry Cook (19th).</p>
<p>- Peters captured the pole position for tonight&#8217;s race &#8212; the 64th pole for Toyota since entering the NCWTS at the start of<br />
the 2004 season.</p>
<p><strong>BRIAN SCOTT, No. 16 Albertsons Toyota Tundra, Xpress Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 2nd</p>
<p><strong>Is there any consolation finishing second to Ron Hornaday, Jr. &#8212; who has won five straight races?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s the man in the truck series.  I congratulate Ron (Hornaday, Jr.) on five in a row &#8212; that&#8217;s an awesome accomplishment.<br />
I hope some day to accomplish something like that in my career.  Our Albertson&#8217;s Toyota Tundra was just great.  I wish I<br />
could have taken a Toyota to victory lane tonight for Toyota and for everybody here.  The fans &#8212; I have to thank all of them<br />
for sitting through the rain storm.  We took a run at it.  We just weren&#8217;t good enough.  I&#8217;m real proud of my guys.  I&#8217;m<br />
really happy about second &#8212; that was a good run.  Everybody wants that Les Paul guitar by Sam Bass &#8212; it&#8217;s the coolest<br />
trophy out there.  Tonight wasn&#8217;t our night to get it and Ron (Hornaday, Jr.) &#8212; he&#8217;s a legend, he&#8217;s the man.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you have anything for Ron Hornaday, Jr. on the last restart?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We had a restart there and I didn&#8217;t know if he was okay on fuel or what.  But, as soon as we took the green and went into<br />
the corner I was just tighter and figured out we had a right front tire going down.  We didn&#8217;t have the front end grip and the<br />
turning like we needed to, to take a shot at him (Ron Hornaday, Jr.).  I tried and he was just awfully good.  But, second for<br />
our Albertson&#8217;s Toyota Tundra is pretty good tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What was your thinking taking two tires on the last pit stop?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;On the competition caution (lap 35) we took four tires and almost everybody else took two &#8212; we just wanted to look at<br />
everything.  We didn&#8217;t think that left side tires were wearing as much as right sides.  So, on the next stop that allowed us to<br />
go for just two right sides and keep our left sides.  That got our track position back that we surrendered so badly on the first<br />
stop.  It gave us a chance to make a run at the win, we were just a little too tight to do it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 17 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  4th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was pretty wild.  That&#8217;s what you get in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.  Our Strutmasters.com Tundra<br />
really ran good.  We sat on the pole.  Clean air was just so important and we just got stuck back there.  We just got too tight.<br />
All in all it was a great night.  I have to thank Chip Lofton at Strutmasters and Tom DeLoach at Red Horse Racing &#8211;<br />
they&#8217;ve given me an awesome opportunity and we&#8217;re now going to Bristol.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 One Eighty Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  9th</p>
<p><strong>T.J. BELL, No. 11 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  10th</p>
<p><strong>TRAVIS KVAPIL, No. 51 Miccosukee Resort &#038; Casino Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:  </strong>11th</p>
<p><strong>BLAKE FEESE, No. 15 Billy Ballew Motorsports Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 12th</p>
<p><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Ventrilo Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 13th</p>
<p><strong>What happened at the end of the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;If the tires didn&#8217;t give out (near the end of the race) we would have had a fourth-place finish with the Ventrilo Tundra.  If I<br />
got close to Timothy (Peters), the truck just pushed really bad.  We were definitely a top-five Toyota if we hadn&#8217;t had to pit at<br />
the end.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 PC Miler Navigator Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  14th</p>
<p><strong>Can you get back into the championship points race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Well, if we run like we&#8217;ve been running &#8212; of course we can.  Right now, the KHI stuff with (Ron) Hornaday, Jr. &#8212; they are in<br />
their own zip code.  I&#8217;ve said it again, these guys (at Randy Moss Motorsports) have done a lot with a fourth of the amount of<br />
money it takes to do this right.  I&#8217;m very proud of these guys.  We missed it this week.  We missed it right off the trailer.  We<br />
never ran good in practice.  </p>
<p>We put up some decent laps.  What happens is you get to thinking you&#8217;re not as bad as you really<br />
are.  But, I knew we were bad and we never got it fixed.  Everybody at Randy Moss Motorsports worked their tails off.  The<br />
pit stops were actually halfway decent tonight.  I want to make sure to thank PC Miler Navigator and Exide &#8212; and everybody<br />
that works with us &#8212; keep the faith.&#8221;</p>

I’ve had a lot of good runs there but haven’t always had the finishes to show for it. Something about the track really suits my driving style. I can’t put my finger on it but I always love racing there. We are so excited about how well our races have been going in the past five events and we are looking forward to having even more success in Nashville.”</p>
<p><strong>Crew Chief Chad Kendrick on Nashville Superspeedway:</strong> “I’m looking forward to getting back to Nashville. Timothy and I ran there together last year and we were good in practice but got too tight in the race. I have since figured out why that happened and am excited about getting back there and having a second chance at it. Timothy loves that track and I would love to help him get his first win there.”</p>
<p><strong>Equipment Information: </strong> Timothy Peters will compete with chassis # 138 in the Toyota Tundra 200 at Nashville Superspeedway. This is the same chassis he drove in Kentucky and Michigan where he finished fourth and eighth respectively.</p>

<p>&#8220;I could&#8217;ve hit him &#8212; I ain&#8217;t made like that.  Ronnie (Hornaday) is a friend of mine.  He might&#8217;ve done it to me but it&#8217;s all<br />
right.  When I shave in the morning I&#8217;ll like who I see.  I had a great Tundra with EXIDE Batteries.  Start positive, stay<br />
positive.  I don&#8217;t want to give a negative energy because we finished second.  I don&#8217;t like to finish second any more than<br />
anybody else does but it was a good night.  It was a good points night.  We led a couple laps and I just can&#8217;t thank EXIDE<br />
Batteries, Toyota and all of my sponsors.  We&#8217;ve just had a great relationship for many, many years with a lot of people.  We<br />
still have a lot of fire under our belly.  We&#8217;re not throwing in the towel.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Do you have a lot of momentum with back-to-back runner-up finishes?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Eric Phillips (crew chief) is doing one heck of a job.  This team is way underfunded for &#8212; we&#8217;re very grateful for the sponsors<br />
that we have &#8212; but we&#8217;re running on six cylinders.  When we get them other two cylinders and get up to eight cylinders like<br />
everybody else we&#8217;re going to be okay.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you experiencing any problems with your Tundra?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve had brake problems with this Tundra in every short track race and tonight was no exception.  We just slowed down<br />
and we got passed.  When I broke my rhythm I burnt the right front off the truck and we just couldn&#8217;t get out of the way at that<br />
point in time.  </p>
<p>Eric Phillips (crew chief) once again did a fantastic job calling the race.  Tim Fedewa (spotter) came and<br />
spotted for us tonight and he did a great job.  We just got beat &#8212; what can I say?  Our Tundra was awesome.  We had some<br />
brake problems and right there at the end the caution kept coming out.  If the thing stays green with those four fresh Goodyear<br />
tires it wouldn&#8217;t even have been a contest but every time we&#8217;d catch them, the caution would come out and they&#8217;d cool their<br />
tires back down.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did it affect you at all when the white flag came out a lap early?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That was weird.  I&#8217;d like to do it over.  I&#8217;d like to have it over.  I think what hurt us more than anything was all of the<br />
cautions at the end because we had the four fresh tires and we were coming a half-a-second a lap and then the caution would<br />
come out and then we were only two-tenths.  Then when we caught Ron (Hornaday) I would&#8217;ve had to move him to beat him<br />
and I just wasn&#8217;t going to do that.  If that respect don&#8217;t come back somewhere then I&#8217;ll stretch somebody&#8217;s neck at another<br />
time.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  3rd</p>
<p><strong>Can you talk about your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We had a great truck.  We started the race 17th tonight and drove up to sixth and the first caution came out and we were,<br />
&#8216;Pit?  Don&#8217;t Pit?  Pit?  Don&#8217;t Pit?&#8217;  So we stayed out and I thought we were fine.  We rode around in sixth there for a while and<br />
I don&#8217;t know if we had a right-front (tire) going down or what but all of a sudden we couldn&#8217;t go.  We went from being right<br />
with the leaders to not even being able to run in the same ballpark as them.  </p>
<p>Once we put new tires on it, it was right back to<br />
the same truck it was.  I ran right there with the leaders and was fortunate enough to get a caution and get the &#8216;lucky dog&#8217; and<br />
we come back in and got four more tires and man, it was just like night and day difference.  You could tell everybody who<br />
didn&#8217;t have tires.  That was fun.  It was a lot of fun to race on.  It&#8217;s a lot of fun when Goodyear brings a tire like that where the<br />
tire really falls off and tires mean a lot.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with your finish after going a lap down early in the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I think we had a right-front tire going down there at the beginning of the race.  We got really, really tight and lost a lap and I<br />
was so disappointed but I knew we had a good enough truck to not give up.  We came in and got tires and I could keep up with<br />
the leaders there when we were a lap down and we got the &#8216;lucky dog&#8217; and we came in and got four tires and man, tires were<br />
huge tonight.  I&#8217;m really proud of Richie Wauters (crew chief) and everybody on this Billy Ballew Motorsports truck tonight.<br />
They give me awesome trucks every week and it&#8217;s a lot of fun to race.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Do you think your truck could&#8217;ve made it to the front if you had a few more laps?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I think so.  We were definitely fast enough to win.  We just needed some more laps.  That caution right there at the end really<br />
hurt us.  I was a little bit better than (Dennis) Setzer and he was on the same tires that we were and I was on better tires than<br />
(Ron) Hornaday and (Mike) Skinner.  Congrats to (Ron) Hornaday.  Four in a row, that&#8217;s incredible.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;It was definitely tight out there.  We were tight all day, but the Randy Moss Motorsports team did a great job.  I had a lot<br />
of fun, but it was tight, short track racing.  Our truck switched through the night.  Sometimes we were better through turns<br />
one and two and sometimes we were better through (turns) three and four.  It just depended on what tires we had or what<br />
Doug (Wolcott, crew chief) changed on the truck.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you try to change lines to find more speed?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, we tried everything.  I ran against the wall all the way around and then ran against the grass all the way around.<br />
This is such a tight place and you always try to get the most of your truck.  It was a good race, and we&#8217;re happy to get a top-<br />
10 at ORP.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  8th</p>
<p><strong>What did your truck need tonight to contend with the race leaders?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The team has done a great job and every week we come to these short tracks, we&#8217;re really fast.  We just can&#8217;t get the truck<br />
to stay under us long enough.  We were one of the fastest trucks in practice and qualified third.  We ran up front for a while,<br />
but as soon as the tires get some heat in them, it starts giving up a little bit.  This should be our strong suit and I think it is &#8211;<br />
we just need to figure out how to make the trucks last a little bit longer.  It was a pretty good weekend for us.  All things<br />
considered, every week this team keeps growing and getting better.  We&#8217;re sitting there in the top-three and top-five in<br />
practice and getting good qualifying runs.  We&#8217;re getting there.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 9th</p>
<p><strong>Can you talk about your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I really have to hand it to all the guys on this Zachry Toyota and HT Motorsports.  We had an awesome Toyota Tundra<br />
tonight &#8212; we just got a little unlucky.  We stayed out during one of the cautions, and the guys that came in for tires really<br />
had the advantage once those cautions came late.  </p>
<p>They were really able to drive up through there and we couldn&#8217;t hold<br />
them off.  I&#8217;m happy that we got another top-10 finish for this team, I just hate it that we didn&#8217;t finish where I think we<br />
could&#8217;ve, but that&#8217;s how it goes here in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.  We got beat fair and square, so we&#8217;ll<br />
work hard this week and get them at Nashville.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>What happened in the incident with Colin Braun?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The deal with Colin (Braun), he was outside me.  But, there&#8217;s a certain point where you have to know, &#8216;I&#8217;m not far enough<br />
outside this guy to stay out here, because exactly what happened will happen.  He doesn&#8217;t have a lot of experience and he&#8217;s<br />
passing a guy for second and he was going for it.  Unfortunately, you just have to know when you&#8217;re up far enough to take the<br />
position and he wasn&#8217;t.  All he had to do was keep working me and he probably would&#8217;ve passed me.  It&#8217;s a racing deal.  I&#8217;m<br />
not going to be mad about it.  I&#8217;m not going to take a swing at him.  He&#8217;s a good kid.  He&#8217;s a really good driver and I consider<br />
him a friend.  It&#8217;s just racing, don&#8217;t worry about it.&#8221;</p>

<p>Post-Race Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>Kentucky Speedway &#8211; July 18, 2009</strong></p>
<p>- Mike Skinner (second) was the highest-finishing Toyota driver in Saturday&#8217;s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series<br />
(NCWTS) at Kentucky Speedway.</p>
<p>- Tundra drivers Timothy Peters (fourth), Aric Almirola (fifth), Brian Scott (sixth) and David Starr (ninth) also posted top-<br />
10 finishes on Saturday.</p>
<p>- Toyota drivers Stacy Compton (12th), Tayler Malsam (13th), Terry Cook (15th), Todd Bodine (16th), Brian Ickler (21st)<br />
and T.J. Bell (23rd) were also in the field.</p>
<p>- Six Tundra drivers currently are in the top-10 in the NCWTS unofficial driver point standings, including Skinner (third),<br />
Bodine (fourth), Scott (fifth), Starr (sixth), Malsam (seventh) and Cook (eighth).</p>
<p><strong>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 Exide Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 2nd</p>
<p><strong>How was that finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t wish bad luck on anybody but we didn&#8217;t have a second-place truck.  We had a good truck &#8211; one more lap and we<br />
might have had a first-place truck.  I really hate it for Tayler (Malsam), the 81 truck ran up front all night and that young man<br />
did a heck of a job.  I hate it for Todd (Bodine) that he had an oil leak or something there.  We finished second, we have to try<br />
to stay in the game.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did where you start tonight&#8217;s race have an effect on your finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Ronnie (Hornaday) did a good job.  I think one more lap and we might have had him, might have been able to challenge him<br />
a little bit right there.  Man I hate for Tayler Malsam, he had a good truck tonight.  Both the Randy Moss Motorsports trucks<br />
did a good job.  We got stuck back there from qualifying and it kind of messed us up.  I want to thank the fans, I want to thank<br />
Exide &#8211; everybody just came along.  I want to thank Toyota.  Triad put a good body on this truck.  I just hate it &#8211; doggone it,<br />
we were close.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How do you grade your team so far in 2009?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;For the budget that we&#8217;ve had and the amount of people that we&#8217;ve had with the resources &#8211; Toyota does an awesome job and<br />
these Triad engines &#8211; man they&#8217;re just awesome.  Eric Phillips (crew chief) and David Dollar (co-owner), they have done a<br />
heck of a lot with a little bit.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 17 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 4th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a good night for us.  Our Strutmasters Red Horse Toyota Tundra was awesome all night long.  We had a couple<br />
issues on the race track and got a little fender damage but all-in-all it was a good night.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What happened to your truck in the final laps?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I thought we were a goner but that was luck, it wasn&#8217;t talent &#8211; that was luck.  I don&#8217;t know if the 81 (Tayler Malsam)<br />
spotter didn&#8217;t tell him that I was there or not but he got into our right front corner and it did a little fender damage to it and<br />
then when we got behind the 88 (Matt Crafton), I think we were better than him but just got aero-tight.  We salvaged a good<br />
run.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 15 Red Top Auto Auction Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 5th</p>
<p><strong>Did those late race restarts take you out of contention for the win?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We were both good, we both took two tires on that pit stop.  We knew that clean air would be important and when we took<br />
off on that restart and we were leading that clean air was really important.  We were driving away and the caution came out<br />
there and the caution after caution, after caution really hurt us.  We only had two tires and everybody around us had four.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>BRIAN SCOTT, No. 16 Albertsons Toyota Tundra, Xpress Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  6th</p>
<p><strong>What was tonight&#8217;s race like for you?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We were really good at the start.  We had an awesome truck &#8212; we must have just hit a piece of debris or something and cut<br />
a tire.  It really put us behind and damaged our truck &#8212; it knocked our toe all to hell.  The guys did an awesome job on pit<br />
road to get us back in the game and get positioning.  Ultimately we leave here with as best a finish &#8211; I think we could have<br />
finished fifth but probably no more.  It&#8217;s a tough day.  We have to get luck on our side, that&#8217;s about the only place we could<br />
improve right now.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>DAVID STARR, No. 24 Harris Trucking/Zachry Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 9th</p>
<p><strong>STACY COMPTON, No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance Toyota Tundra, Wyler Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 12th</p>
<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 One-Eighty Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 13th</p>
<p><strong>TERRY COOK, No. 25 Harris Trucking/Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  15th</p>
<p><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 16th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The Copart Tundra was a good truck.  We did everything right and that thing was hauling the mail.  It&#8217;s been 15 or 20 years<br />
since I&#8217;ve seen a rear-end gear break, except for Martinsville that&#8217;s hard on them.  You just don&#8217;t break rear-end gears so it<br />
was actually a part failure that took away our chance to win at Kentucky.  </p>
<p>We had a good truck &#8212; we did everything we were<br />
supposed to do.  We were in a position to win and I really think there at the end we were going to beat (Ron) Hornaday.  I got<br />
a run on him right when the gear broke and I never could complete the run.  We definitely would&#8217;ve had a shot at putting the<br />
Copart Tundra in victory lane (if not for the part failure).&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were the restarts wild tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;At the end of the race guys are racing hard, jumping around, and to go fast you&#8217;ve got to be loose &#8211; that&#8217;s just racing here at<br />
Kentucky.  I thought those guys had done a good job all night so I wasn&#8217;t worried about them at all. Tayler (Malsam) has<br />
really come along as a driver and Aric&#8217;s (Almirola) not a rookie by any means &#8211; it&#8217;s a shame what happened to the 51 (Brian<br />
Ickler) but it was a good race.  I think the fans got their money&#8217;s worth.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>BRIAN ICKLER, No. 51 Red Top Auto Auction Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 21st</p>
<p><strong>What happened to take you out of the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The 15 (Aric Almirola) spun his tires and it definitely wasn&#8217;t his fault &#8211; he&#8217;s my teammate.  It got to be so rough on the<br />
outside that he spun his tires and helped the 81 (Tayler Malsam) and I went low to avoid them.  I backed out of the throttle.<br />
Didn&#8217;t really pass him, they said I did, gave it back and they still penalized us and put us in the back.  </p>
<p>I was trying to get to<br />
the front in a hurry but take our time.  Two trucks wrecked off of (turn) two and I came down and t-boned one of them.  It&#8217;s<br />
just one of those things.  I think NASCAR knows they were wrong but what are you going to do, we&#8217;re at their mercy and<br />
we&#8217;ll go get them next time.  We tore up a really good truck tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>T.J. BELL, No. 11 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>

<p>Post-Race Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>Memphis Motorsports Park &#8211; June 20, 2009</strong></p>
<p>- Brian Scott (second) was the highest-finishing Toyota driver in Saturday&#8217;s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series<br />
(NCWTS) at Memphis Motorsports Park.  It is his second straight top-three finish &#8212; third at Milwaukee (June 20) &#8212; after<br />
suffering a broken right wrist at Michigan (June 13).</p>
<p>- Scott led 20 laps in the No. 16 Albertsons Tundra for Xpress Motorsports.</p>
<p>- Tundra drivers David Starr (third), Aric Almirola (fourth), Mike Skinner (sixth), Timothy Peters (seventh) and Todd<br />
Bodine (10th) also posted top-10 finishes on Saturday.</p>
<p>- Toyota drivers Brian Ickler (12th), Terry Cook (13th), Tayler Malsam (16th), Stacy Compton (17th), T.J. Bell (18th) and<br />
Brent Sherman (22nd) were also in the field.</p>

<p>Finishing Position:  </strong>2nd</p>
<p>What does this run show about your team?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I think we showed that if we don&#8217;t have bad luck or get caught up in an accident, we&#8217;re a top-five truck week in, week out.<br />
My hat&#8217;s off to our guys.  Everybody on our Xpress Motorsports Albertson&#8217;s Toyota Tundra &#8212; they put in really hard work<br />
and a good effort in the shop.  That ultimately translates to how we showed up at a race.  We unload well and we run well.<br />
That&#8217; just their preparation… All the guys, they just work tirelessly.  </p>
<p>Jeff Hensley is the best crew chief when you get to a<br />
race track.  He calls a great race and he can see it through to the end.  He knows our fuel mileage. He knows our pit<br />
strategy.  He has it figured out.  I&#8217;m just lucky enough to go out there and drive.  If I don&#8217;t screw up and we don&#8217;t have any<br />
bad luck, we can contend for a win every week and definitely a top-five.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-medium 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-149x210.jpg" alt="Brian Scott" title="Brian Scott" width="149" height="210" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-16277" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:149px;">Brian Scott</div></div><strong>Do you think the lapped trucks allowed Ron Hornaday to catch and pass you?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The lapped down trucks plagued us the whole last part of the race.  When we had the lead, I had no idea where they were<br />
going when I got to them.  The lack of thinking ahead on that part.  We got messed up on the 90 (Brent Sherman).  I might<br />
have been able to stay in front of (Ron) Hornaday a little bit longer.  I don&#8217;t know if we could&#8217;ve beat him.  He was awfully<br />
good. I can&#8217;t adjust the brake adjuster in our trucks with my broken wrist.  </p>
<p>It just started getting tight.  We were low on fuel<br />
so our nose-weight percentage kept picking up.  I just needed to keep dialing rear brake as the run went on and wasn&#8217;t able<br />
to do it.  Ultimately, we just overused our front tires.  We were sliding in the center of the corner and loose off because I<br />
was trying to make time back up and stay in front of David (Starr).  It&#8217;s unfortunate, but you can never be upset with<br />
second.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Was your broken wrist an issue on the final restart?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I got a good jump on the restart and got to his (Ron Hornaday) bumper and drove in the corner right there with him.<br />
Unfortunately, I drove in a little harder and it wouldn&#8217;t stick quite as well as his because I slid my front.  Once I lost the<br />
bottom, I was like, &#8216;Maybe I can get to the gas and get to his outside quarter-panel here and make a shot at him.&#8217;  He got off<br />
the corner really well and there was nothing I could do.  </p>
<p>I was just lucky to settle back in second and not lose second to<br />
David (Starr).  That was all I was thinking about.  I knew he could at times run faster than me and at times I could run faster<br />
than him.  I was just hoping to run faster than him that last little bit.  I think somebody got side-by-side with him, and that<br />
helped me out.  I was just able to hold on for second.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you distracted by the heat?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;You definitely know it&#8217;s hot the whole time out there.  You&#8217;re sweating, you&#8217;re doing everything you can, drinking water.<br />
It&#8217;s not just hot for drivers.  The pit crews, they&#8217;re in full uniform.  The Sunoco guys, the track help, the cleanup guys, the<br />
fans.  I can&#8217;t believe all the fans that endured the heat to watch us race.  </p>
<p>That was really cool to see.  At times you look up<br />
under caution and just before the race started and you&#8217;re like, &#8216;Wow, there&#8217;s a lot of people sitting in the 110-degree heat on<br />
steel bleachers or aluminum bleachers.&#8217;  They&#8217;re hot too.  It was hot for everybody, not just us.  I think everybody did an<br />
awesome job just staying hydrated and dealing with it.  You try to block it out, but there&#8217;s only so much you can do.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-5411" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/06/02/david-starr-local-travel-coordinator-for-texas-area-hometown-advantage/attachment/2009-ncwts-24-truck/" rel="attachment wp-att-5411"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-24-truck.jpg" alt="No. 24 Zachry Toyota Tundra" title="No. 24 Zachry Toyota Tundra" width="240" height="160" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5411" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:240px;">No. 24 Zachry Toyota Tundra</div></div><strong>DAVID STARR, No. 24 Zachry Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 3rd</p>
<p><strong>How encouraging is this finish for your team?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Our Toyota Tundra, all the people at TRD (Toyota Racing Development), they&#8217;re engineering staff and being able to use<br />
their pull-down machines and engineering stuff they give us &#8212; it&#8217;s incredible.  It&#8217;s just a testament to Toyota.  I have to say,<br />
Jim Harris and this HT Motorsports team, week in and week out we have a fast Toyota Tundra.  This seems like we can&#8217;t<br />
catch a break.  Last week we had a bad break at Milwaukee.  We had a great truck.  The weeks before then, they just didn&#8217;t<br />
fall our way.  We had a great truck.  We had to pull a spring rubber out of the left rear because our truck wouldn&#8217;t rotate that<br />
good.  It was a little tight in the center.  That took a little bit of time &#8212; we lost about 12 spots on pit road.  We got back on<br />
the race track and passed six or seven people.  The (engine) temperature was 260 degrees… The caution came back out and<br />
we had to come back in and take tape off it.  </p>
<p>We had to go back to the back again.  We got back on the race track and didn&#8217;t<br />
pass them as fast as the next time.  The caution came back out and my crew chief said we had to pit for fuel.  I said, &#8216;Are<br />
you sure?&#8217; I was tired of going to the back.  We came in.  I kind of questioned my crew chief there and I apologized to him<br />
right before we pitted.  I was just frustrated because we had to keep going to the back.  It ended up being a really great call<br />
because we had a great truck.  It was fun racing with Brian (Scott).  I think we were both trying to save some fuel.  I would<br />
get close to him and try to get a little bit more and I&#8217;d end up messing up.  </p>
<p>It was a great race.  We had a good race going on<br />
when I could get to him.  (Ron) Hornaday was just the class of the field.  Congratulations to him.  It was a great day for<br />
everybody.  You can&#8217;t thank the fans enough.  I looked up in the stands and saw how many people were here and I was<br />
really proud to be part of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series because it was pretty hot today.  We did our job, we<br />
worked hard, but I think they&#8217;re the ones that need to get all the credit because they did a great job and we appreciate their<br />
support.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I tried to get a good restart.  I didn&#8217;t have enough of my front end underneath Brian (Scott).  It&#8217;s tough trucks, tough<br />
drivers and a tough series.  It&#8217;s tough on the race driver racing side-by-side, beating and banging, trading a little paint.<br />
When you go in there and blatantly knock you out of the way, they&#8217;ll definitely pay you back down the road.  When you do<br />
something like that, you might take yourself out too.  We race hard, that&#8217;s what this series is about, but when you blatantly<br />
take someone out, I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s what this series is about.  </p>
<p>I just didn&#8217;t have enough to get my nose up in there.  I<br />
could&#8217;ve stayed in there and taken him out, but what&#8217;s the point?  We&#8217;re good friends and we drive for the same<br />
manufacturer and I might&#8217;ve taken myself out.  That ain&#8217;t racing.  If I couldn&#8217;t pass him hard or clean, I wasn&#8217;t going to get<br />
the pass done.  He was a little bit better than me anyways.  Like (Brian Scott) said, I got in there a little hot.  You try to get a<br />
little extra, and when you do that, you put yourself in a spot to lose a spot.  Just trying to drive as hard as I could and get all<br />
I could without taking somebody out.  It was a hard-fought race, but a clean race.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-3519" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/sprintcup/03/17/martin-truex-jr-aric-almirola-juan-pablo-montoya-2009-food-city-500-nscs-race-previews/attachment/2009nscsaricalmirola/" rel="attachment wp-att-3519"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009nscsaricalmirola.jpeg" alt="Aric Almirola " title="Aric Almirola " width="100" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3519" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:100px;">Aric Almirola </div></div><strong>ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 15 Phoenix Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  4th</p>
<p><strong>Have you ever raced in such hot conditions?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yes.  The first time I ever came here to Memphis, it was just as hot.  At least  it was under the lights, but it was just as hot.<br />
It makes a lot better when you have a really good truck to drive.  I thank Billy Ballew (team owner) for the opportunity.  It<br />
has been a lot of fun to race this truck here with these truck guys.  They race hard every lap.  It&#8217;s been a lot of fun and I<br />
can&#8217;t wait to do some more.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Do you think you had something for the leaders at the end?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We did the set of tires before that, but for whatever reason &#8212; I don&#8217;t know why &#8212; but this last set of tires was really up on<br />
top of the racetrack and I had no grip at all.  We missed our final adjustment there a little bit, but all in all, it was a great run.<br />
I&#8217;m really proud of the guys.  We got snookered a little bit on strategy.  I didn&#8217;t realize we didn&#8217;t have to come back for gas.<br />
To come home fourth, though, was pretty good.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Do you think you had a race-winning truck tonight?</strong><br />
&#8220;We had a top-four, top-five Exide Batteries Toyota, but we were just racing there at the end and lost some ground. It&#8217;s<br />
frustrating when we are on a different field to the rest of those guys that run up front every week. But overall our day wasn&#8217;t<br />
bad. We were able to bring home a sixth-place finish and Eric (Phillips, crew chief) and all my guys on this Randy Moss<br />
Motorsports team did a great job all day. We will take this and head to the next one in Kentucky.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;The pit stops were just incredible tonight. The Copart Tundra crew picked up spots, even after I got held up by slower trucks<br />
coming down pit road to get into the pits. They really did a great job keeping the Copart Tundra in a good position tonight.<br />
Our truck was definitely better at the end. Our first adjustments we made, we definitely went the wrong way. We changed it<br />
back and went the other way and it was better. Brakes were an issue the whole race &#8211; between vibrating and having too much<br />
rear brake. I couldn&#8217;t put more front brake bias into the truck because it made the vibration worse &#8211; it was kind of a &#8216;catch 22&#8242;<br />
setup. We missed the setup a little but it was better than we&#8217;ve been here so we can&#8217;t complain.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Our One Eighty Toyota Tundra was good for most of the day. We had brake problems during qualifying which put us to the<br />
back for the start of the race. Doug (Wolcott, crew chief) and all of these guys worked really hard this weekend and it sucks<br />
when you have something go wrong there in the final 10 laps of the race. But we will put this one behind us and move<br />
forward.&#8221;</p>
