<p>Finishing Position:</strong> 4th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with the way you ended your 2009 season tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;What a way to end a year with this <a href="http://www.Strutmasters.com ">Strutmasters.com </a> Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra.  It&#8217;s just awesome to end a year on this note right here.  We looked to stay out and we didn&#8217;t have anything to lose.  We were gambling to see if we could get us another victory but I tried to get the tires as clean as I could and I spun them a little bit.  A rookie mistake on my part. I&#8217;ve got to thank Chad Kendrick (crew chief) and everybody on this team.  They do a great job.  From where we started at Daytona not knowing if we could make it past Martinsville.  Tom DeLoach (Red Horse Racing, team owner) gave me an awesome opportunity to be here.  <a href="http://www.trustmasters.com">Strustmasters.com,</a> Toyota, Toyota, Toyota &#8212; I can&#8217;t thank those guys enough.  I&#8217;m<br />
looking forward to next season.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How did your truck handle during the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was good for us.  Our <a href="http://www.Strutmasters.com">Strutmasters.com</a> Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra was good right off the lift gate.  We made a gamble there at the end to stay out thinking some people would stay out with us but everybody came in.  Chad Kendrick (crew chief) did a great job.  The whole team &#8212; considering where we started at in Daytona not knowing that I could make it past Martinsville.   I don&#8217;t know where we ended up in points but we had a good finish and got us a win this year.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-medium wp-image-29039" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/TimothyPeters.jpg"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/TimothyPeters-149x210.jpg" alt="Timothy Peters (Photo Credit: John Harrelson/Getty Images for NASCAR)" title="Timothy Peters (Photo Credit: John Harrelson/Getty Images for NASCAR)" width="149" height="210" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-29039" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:149px;">Timothy Peters (Photo Credit: John Harrelson/Getty Images for NASCAR)</div></div><strong>Why did those trucks beat you on that final restart?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;They had fresh tires.  Everybody came down pit road and we were just the lonely sole out there.  But all in all it was a<br />
good day.  I&#8217;m just ecstatic.  When we joined Red Horse Racing we were 19th in drivers points and I think we ended up<br />
around seventh.  It&#8217;s been an awesome year and I&#8217;m ready to go to Daytona.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What happened on the final restart?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;When you race with these guys you learn a lot and (Kevin) Harvick is the best of the best.  I cleaned my tires off but<br />
evidentially it wasn&#8217;t enough.  I made a rookie mistake and spun them too much, but he had new tires and was going to go<br />
by us in turn one anyway.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-16692" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bodine.jpg"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bodine.jpg" alt="Todd Bodine" title="Todd Bodine" width="183" height="200" class="alignright size-full wp-image-16692" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:183px;">Todd Bodine</div></div><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong> 5th</p>
<p><strong>What happened from your viewpoint on the &#8216;green-white-checkered&#8217; finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The truck series usually is pretty crazy with the green-white-checkered.  Before the caution came out we had the fastest<br />
truck on the track.  We were just so far back, we were running seventh, so we decided to come in, put two tires on and gain<br />
a little track position.  We pumped the right front tire up a little too high and it pushed too much in the last two laps.  We<br />
still gained two spots.  Copart and everybody, I really appreciate what they&#8217;ve done for us this year in getting us through the<br />
year with their sponsorship.  It&#8217;s typical Germain Racing &#8212; we just never give up.  We started the season with a win at<br />
Daytona with no sponsor on the truck and we made it through the season with the help of Copart, Ventrillo and Lumber<br />
Liquidators.  It was a tough year, but we got through.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What were you adjusting in your truck when you lifted the hood halfway through the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The first set of tires, we corded the inside pretty bad.  I think it was really the right call to come in and adjust it so we<br />
didn&#8217;t blow it out.  We didn&#8217;t need to finish in the back &#8211; we needed to keep the points up to finish fourth in points.  It really<br />
didn&#8217;t help it drive any better, but it definitely saved the tire and kept us in front of Johnny (Sauter) for fourth in points.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-5391" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-5-truck.jpg"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-5-truck.jpg" alt="No. 5 Exide Batteries Toyota Tundra" title="No. 5 Exide Batteries Toyota Tundra" width="240" height="160" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5391" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:240px;">No. 5 Exide Batteries Toyota Tundra</div></div><strong>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 Exide Batteries Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong> 6th</p>
<p><strong>What happened from your viewpoint on the &#8216;green-white-checkered&#8217; finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That was crazy and that cost us a spot right there.  I didn&#8217;t know if I was supposed to come on pit road or not.  Just had a<br />
lot of confusion going on with the radio right there.  We had about a fourth or fifth-place truck and we lost a couple spots<br />
right there at the end.  We&#8217;ve got a good race team and we&#8217;ve got a lot to build on.  I&#8217;m proud to be driving a Toyota Tundra<br />
and I can&#8217;t wait till Daytona.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-medium wp-image-3662" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-mike-skinner.jpg"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-mike-skinner-140x210.jpg" alt="Mike Skinner" title="Mike Skinner" width="140" height="210" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3662" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:140px;">Mike Skinner</div></div><strong>How was your season overall?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a great season and I really felt like I would have liked to have finished a little better last night.  I thought that we<br />
might have had a little better truck.  Eric (Phillips, crew chief) did a good job, the pit crew did a fantastic job &#8211; I don&#8217;t think<br />
the driver did that good of a job tonight.  I kept overdriving the corners and trying to get grip that just wasn&#8217;t there.  Tim<br />
Fedewa did a great job spotting, he kept trying to get me to slow down in the corner.  When I would slow down getting in<br />
the corner, I would run really good laps and we had a really good truck.  Got to work on the driver a little bit with these tires<br />
that are like this.  Goodyear does a great job and I know they&#8217;ll get us better stuff next year.&#8221;</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>

His last victory came at New Hampshire Motor Speedway where Busch last piloted the race truck.  </p>
<p>Busch has two previous NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts at the 2.66-mile superspeedway for Billy Ballew Motorsports with a best finish of third-place position posted in 2008.  He has six previous Nationwide Series starts and nine NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts including one win.</p>
<p>Billy Ballew Motorsports making their 300th-Series start this weekend has five previous starts at Talladega Superspeedway with Busch posting a best finish of third-place in 2008.</p>
<p>While the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season winds down to a close, Billy Ballew sits just 178-points out of the Owners Championship Points lead and hopes that with Busch in the truck for the final four the team will be able to make up the difference.  Ballew had his best NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Owners Points finish of third-place position in 2008.</p>
<p>“We’re pretty close in points going into these final four races,” Billy Ballew said.  “With Kyle (Busch) in the truck I’m pretty sure we’ll pull off some good finishes and hopefully get past the 33 to take the 2009 Owners Points Championship.  It would mean the world to me to be able to get that spot this year.  Hopefully, we’ll have some great runs and take home the trophy in November.”</p>
<p>Dallas Austin, the songwriter, record producer and musician will be an honorary pit crew member on the No. 51 Billy Ballew Motorsports team.  Some of his most notable clients include Michael Jackson, TLC, Boyz II Men, Pink, Monica, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Stacie Orrico, Another Bad Creation, Fishbone and Kim from the Real Housewives of Atlanta.  Dallas is also “Rowdy” with <a href="http://www.RowdyTV.com">RowdyTV.com</a> and The Rowdy Collection and is based in Ballew’s hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.</p>
<p>The Mountain Dew 250 (94 lap, 250.04 mile) NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race is slated to begin Saturday, October 31, 2009 at 3:00pm CT. </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>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>Busch in the Billy Ballew Motorsports entry posted back to back wins after the victory at Bristol Motor Speedway and Friday night’s dominating performance at the 1.5-mile speedway in Joliet, Illinois.  Busch’s victory in the Camping World Truck Series gives the 24-year old driver a win in each of NASCAR’s Top-Tier National Touring Series at the Joliet, Illinois racetrack.  </p>
<p>Busch placed the new Toyota Tundra chassis (#32), in the fourth-place position on the starting grid with a time of 31.469 seconds at a speed of 171.597 miles per hour for the 150-lap race under the lights at Chicagoland Speedway.</p>
<p>In “Rowdy” Busch style, he drove the Miccosukee Resort Tundra deep into turn one, running three-and four-wide hunting for the lead when the first caution flag flew on lap 3.  After the restart on lap 5, Busch battled for the lead, taking the point position on lap 11.</p>
<p>Busch reported that the truck was loose, asking for wedge and track bar adjustments on his first pit stop under caution on lap 33.  Busch restarted in the sixth-place position on lap 36 and used his momentum to take the lead just two laps later.</p>
<p>Busch maintained the lead, checking out on the field until a 42-lap green flag race run forced the teams to pit under green flag conditions.  Busch brought the Miccosukee Resort Camping World Tundra down pit road on lap 80 for fuel and adjustments and regained the lead on lap 91.  </p>
<p>Caution fell on the racetrack on lap 97 when the team brought the No. 51 Tundra back down pit lane for four tires on lap 97 where a slow stop caused the team to lose spots on the track.  Busch returned to pit road on lap 98 for fuel restarting in the seventh-place position for the restart on lap 101.   Busch drove three and four-wide around the racetrack headed for the front.  By lap 109 Busch advanced to the third place position.  Busch advanced to the second-place position as a series of cautions on the track occurred forcing him to be patient and wait for the opportunity to regain the lead from Todd Bodine (#30).  </p>
<p>Busch at the restart on lap 131 was able to find that opportunity to get past Bodine for the point position and was looking to drive away when the final caution flag of the night flew on lap 139.  Busch was set for a seven lap shoot-out when he led the field to the green flag restart on lap 143.  Bodine tried to find a way around Busch but “Rowdy” was unshakable taking the win in the inaugural NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Chicagoland Speedway.</p>
<p>“It was a really good night for us,” Busch said. “The Miccosukee Tundra was pretty good. We were real proud of the way that we brought a brand new truck here out of the box. We were dragging in practice a little bit. We had to work through a few things to get the truck off the race track. It still was hitting during the race &#8212; just brushing the race track a little bit. We’re going to take it home, work on it a little bit, polish it up and get it ready for the next one. Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and Billy (Ballew, team owner) and all these guys work so hard &#8212; they do a great job with not a lot. Real proud of the effort we had here &#8212; a fun night, overall. </p>
<p>The pit strategy worked to our advantage &#8212; I think with 20 laps into the race, or something like that &#8212; I thought it was early to get tires, but we decided to get them. Then we went a long run there. I think we went 80 laps or something green and it really paid to our side &#8212; I didn’t think it would, but it did. We had a strong truck. We just had to make sure we kept the right tires on it and kept the right adjustments in it and got the thing up towards the front there. So, real proud of the way the thing drove out front. It was a little loose in traffic, but fortunately we were able to make it through the traffic okay.</p>
<p>The pass on the restart I just had to make sure that I got a good restart when I got a good run on him (Todd Bodine) down on the bottom-side &#8212; I just had to stay there,” Busch said. “I just had to keep going. Even if he pinched me into turn three, I was going to have to keep my nose in there because that was the only position I had on him &#8212; I had to keep my position. He raced me great. (Todd) Bodine did a great job &#8212; helped Toyota get a win here. He was a fast truck, too &#8211;. Hopefully, we can do it again.”</p>
<p>The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads next to the Iowa Speedway for the inaugural running of the Lucas Oil 200 Saturday, September 5, 2009.  Brian Ickler will take the seat in the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Tundra for Busch at Iowa Speedway.</p>

<p>Kyle “Rowdy” Busch is back behind the wheel of the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Billy Ballew Motorsports Tundra coming off a dominant win at Bristol Motor Speedway in the Camping World Truck Series race August 19th. </p>
<p>Busch leads the team to Chicagoland Speedway with five previous NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts with one win from the pole, posted in 2008.  He has six Nationwide Series starts posting one win, three top-five and three top-10 finishes at the 1.5-mile D-shaped oval racetrack in Joliet, Illinois.</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-4123" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/03/24/kyle-busch-billy-ballew-motorsports-look-for-three-in-a-row/attachment/56811977/" rel="attachment wp-att-4123"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/kylebuschwinsfontana.jpg" alt="Kyle Busch " title="Kyle Busch " width="200" height="155" class="alignright size-full wp-image-4123" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:200px;">Kyle Busch </div></div>“The biggest thing I learned last year was the track didn’t change much,” Busch said in a post NSCS event at Chicagoland Speedway earlier this year.  “It just got cooler and gained grip.  The balance didn’t change a lot &#8212; that was pretty cool to see.  At Chicago, it didn’t change much and the track was well lit by the lights.  Everything went good there last year.”</p>
<p>Billy Ballew Motorsports will utilize Busch’s experience at Chicagoland Speedway to speed the learning curve for the team where they will also debut a brand new Tundra, chassis #32.  </p>
<p>To date Busch has raced in nine of the 15 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series events in 2009.  NASCAR Statistical Data shows Busch has an average start of 6.9 with an average finish of 5.0 (5th-place position).  He has led 611 laps, leading in all races but one event at Lowe’s Motor Speedway but finished second in the Billy Ballew Motorsports No. 51 Toyota Tundra.</p>
<p>The inaugural <a href="http://www.EnjoyIllinois.com">EnjoyIllinois.com</a> 225 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race is slated for 9:00pm ET Friday, August 28, 2009.  The teams will have two extended practice sessions on the 1.5-mile D-shaped tri-oval racetrack on Thursday with final practice, qualifying and the 150 lap, 225 mile race Friday, August 28, 2009.</p>

<p>Busch dominated the 2008 race leading 145 of 203 laps in the Billy Ballew Motorsports entry on the 0.533-mile high banked oval race track.</p>

<p>Billy Ballew Motorsports has nine previous starts at Bristol Motor Speedway with one win, three top-five and five top-10 finishes at the Thunder Valley short track.</p>
<p>Richie Wauters, who in his tenure as crew chief for Billy Ballew Motorsports has led the team to ten of the 12 posted victories, will return as the crew chief on the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Tundra for the remainder of the 2009 series season.</p>
<p>Wauters knows the how the steep 36° turns and 16°straightaways on the concrete Bristol Motor Speedway can play on the setup of the truck.</p>
<p>“Concrete is a rougher surface and is not heat sensitive,” Wauters continued.  “It doesn’t change from day to night.  The track gets black with the more rubber down on it making the truck tighter so we anticipate for that in our set up.  I don’t know if the softer right side tire should have an overall effect on the grip.  It may play into a different pit strategy of pitting twice if the tires wear out.

<p>Almirola last piloted the No. 15 truck at O’Reilly Raceway Park posting a third place finish for the independent team owner, Billy Ballew.  Almirola has one previous Camping World Truck Series start, three Nationwide Series and four NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts at the 0.533-mile high banked oval at Bristol Motor Speedway.</p>
<p>Almirola looks forward to returning to the short track in Bristol, Tennessee.</p>
<p>“If I had to rank tracks, Bristol is definitely in my top-three favorite tracks to race at on the NASCAR circuit,” Almirola stated.  “It is like being on one of those spinning rides at the carnival. You really have to focus on where you come on and off pit road to know where your pit stall is, because everything looks the same when you are going in a circle that fast. With it being a concrete surface, it has tons of grip. And it has more banking than any other track we go to, so add all those elements together and you have one fast race track.” </p>
<p>The high banked short track provides excellent racing excitement for both the drivers and fans but can be punishing on the body driving on the steep 36° turns and 16°straightaways.   </p>
<p>“I would compare racing at Bristol to doing the hardest and most intense workout plan your body can stand for three hours,” Almirola said.  “I give credit to drivers who pull a triple-race weekend at Bristol. Your body is wore out by the time you finish a race.</p>
<p>As far as set-up, handling is huge at Bristol, and you can’t count out track position. The team has a good track record there, with plenty of top-5 finishes and a win with Kyle Busch. So I’m looking forward to being ahead of the curve going into practice on Wednesday morning and bringing home a trophy for the No. 15 team.”</p>
<p>Billy Ballew Motorsports has nine previous starts at Bristol Motor Speedway with one win scored by Kyle Busch in 2008.  The independent team has posted three top-five and five top-10 finishes at the famed Tennessee short track.</p>
<p>Doug George will return as the crew chief on the No. 15 Toyota Tundra for the remainder of the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season.  George, the veteran driver turned crew chief, spent the first half of the season with the No. 51 Billy Ballew Motorsports team leading them to two victories in 2009. (Auto Club Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway)</p>
<p>Graceway Pharmaceuticals LLC which is based in Bristol, Tennessee will serve as the primary sponsor on the No. 15 NASCAR Camping World Truck as well as the No. 09 Billy Ballew Motorsports entry driven by Nate Monteith and will serve as the primary associate sponsor on the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Tundra driven by Kyle Busch.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>‘Monteith Returns for first time since 2007 to Pilot No. 09 Graceway Pharmaceuticals Tundra’</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Bristol, TN, (August 17, 2009)- </strong> Bristol, Tennessee based Graceway Pharmaceuticals LLC will team up with Billy Ballew Motorsports as the primary sponsor on the No. 09 and No. 15 Toyota Tundra’s for the running of the O&#8217;Reilly 200 presented by Valvoline NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway Wednesday, August 19, 2009.  Graceway Pharmaceuticals will also be the primary associate sponsor on the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Tundra driven by Kyle Busch.</p>
<p>“We’re very excited to have Graceway Pharmaceuticals onboard with all three teams,” Owner, Billy Ballew said.  “They are a great organization located right in Bristol and the way all these teams have been running this year we sure like to bring them to Victory Lane in their hometown.”</p>
<p>Native Bristol, Tennessee resident Nate Monteith will pilot the No. 09 Graceway Pharmaceuticals Tundra with Aric Almirola in the No. 15 entry at the 0.533 Mile high banked oval. </p>
<p>Monteith piloted a Billy Ballew Motorsports entry at Bristol Motor Speedway in 2007.  This will be Monteith’s second NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start.  He also has two prior NASCAR Nationwide Series starts (2001 Nazareth Speedway, O’Reilly Raceway Park).</p>
<p>Billy Ballew Motorsports has nine previous starts at Bristol Motor Speedway with one win scored by Kyle Busch in 2008.  The independent team has posted three top-five and five top-10 finishes at the famed Tennessee short track.</p>
<p>Monteith is the 2008 Late Model Champion at Lonesome Pine Raceway and is the current 2009 Late Model Division presented by Graceway Pharmaceuticals Point’s leader at the 3/8-mile asphalt track in Coeburn, VA.</p>
<p>“I raced in the UARA (United Auto Racing Association) Late Model race at Bristol earlier this spring,” Nate Monteith said.  “We had a top-five run going until we were involved in an on-track incident.  The race gave me some advantage of seat time and I feel I gained some experience there on the new configuration of the track.  I have to thank Graceway Pharmaceuticals and Billy Ballew Motorsports for the opportunity to run in my hometown of Bristol in the No. 09 Tundra.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Lebanon, TN (August 2, 2009)-</strong> Blake Feese in his first return to the Top-Tier NASCAR Touring Series since 2005 posted a12th-place finish at Nashville Superspeedway Saturday, August 1st in the No. 15 Phoenix Construction NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Billy Ballew Motorsports Toyota Tundra.</p>
<p>Feese found driving these race trucks was like riding a bike and from the first laps of practice on Friday the driver made outstanding gains.  He posted the No. 15 Billy Ballew Motorsports entry in the 18th-place position on the starting grid for the 150 lap race.</p>
<p>From the beginning of the event Feese advanced driving three wide for position picking up the 15th-place spot by lap 13.    Soon after Feese reported the truck was tight and came into the pits on the competition caution on lap 35 for tires and track bar adjustments.</p>
<p>Feese returned to the track for the restart on lap 41 in the 14th-place position and was working his way forward when on lap 52 when another truck got into the Phoenix Construction Tundra bringing out the caution.  Feese came to pit road for right side repairs on the Toyota Tundra and with diligent work by the pit crew led by Richie Wauters, Feese returned to the track in the 18th-place position.</p>
<p>Despite losing the right side splitter on the truck Feese persevered advancing to the 17th-place position running times comparable to the leader.  </p>
<p>Feese returned for pit road under caution on lap 86 for tires, fuel and further adjustments to free the race truck up but with the splitter missing on the front the teams hands were tied on the amount of options that would help the race truck.</p>
<p>Despite the challenges Feese showed his natural driving ability running two and three wide picking up positions on the race track.  Feese advanced to the 15th-place position when caution for precipitation came on lap 100.The race restarted on lap 105 with Feese in the 14th-place position.</p>
<p>Feese, continued not to give up, battled with teammate Travis Kvapil in the No. 51 Billy Ballew Motorsports NASCAR Camping World Truck for the 12th-place position running side by side all the way around the 1.33-mile superspeedway.  The two traded positions but with the damage from the earlier incident Feese was unable to hold the spot settling for a 12th-place finish at Nashville Superspeedway.</p>
<p>“Really, I want to make sure thank Donnie Graves and his partners along with Fader Higher Productions and NCompass and Billy Ballew and this whole team for the opportunity drive their equipment,” Blake Feese said. “Richie (Wauters) and I have a good chemistry and it didn’t take long for him and me to gain so much from the feedback on the truck.  We were really moving forward in the race and can’t help we got caught up by a lapped car. </p>
<p>It felt great to be racing again.  I thought we were in great shape until we were tagged by a lapped car getting into the wall.  The guys on this Billy Ballew Motorsports crew did an excellent job to fix the truck and keep us competitive.  To battle back missing a right front splitter to finish 12th all and all is a pretty successful night.  We were able to pass some trucks with a wounded truck and we were able to have a solid finish.  I learned a tremendous amount and I will take what I learned and hopefully have another opportunity to come back and utilize it and have a better run.” </p>
<p>The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series takes a break until Wednesday, August 18, 2009 where they will return at Bristol Motor Speedway.</p>

Kvapil, the 2003 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Champion made his return to the trucks and his first start for the independent team Billy Ballew Motorsports.  </p>
<p>Kvapil placed the No. 51 truck in the 11th-place position for the 150-lap race after struggling with a tight race truck in both practice and qualifying at the 1.33-mile race track in Lebanon, Tennessee.  </p>
<p>From the start of the race, the troubles continued.  Kvapil reported in that the truck was tight in and through the corners.  The Miccosukee Resort team brought Kvapil down pit road under the competition caution on lap 38 for tires, fuel and track bar adjustments.  Kvapil cycled out of the pits in the fifth-place position for the restart on lap 41 advancing to the fourth place position until the truck again became tight sending the former Series Champion to the six place position by lap 44.  </p>
<p>The team brought the driver back down pit road on lap 85 for four tires and additional adjustments to free up the Camping World Truck cycling out of the pits in the 14th-place position for the restart on lap 89.</p>
<p>The adjustments seemed to help Kvapil as he drove under trucks gaining two positions in three laps but it quickly faded with when he reported the truck was once again tight.  Kvapil was unable to keep the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Tundra on the bottom of the race track, the optimal place to run, but held onto the 11th-place position until the caution on lap 102 for precipitation in the area.  </p>
<p>The rain diminished and the race restarted on lap 105.  Kvapil continued to battle for positions on the track, running three-wide around the racetrack but again the truck became tight sending the team to its lowest position of the race, 16th-place.  Kvapil did not give up despite the handling issues and was able to advance to an 11th-place finish in the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort NASCAR Camping World truck.</p>
<p>“We were tight from the time we unloaded the truck but we thought we were close to where we needed to be after practice,” Travis Kvapil said.  ”The truck would take off on the restart and then go tight again after a few laps.  Doug (George, crew chief) and I talked about it and learned what we should have done but unfortunately we didn’t have it for the race.  Everyone on this Billy Ballew team did a great job all weekend trying to dial the truck in and I know it is frustrating to all of us.  Hopefully, the opportunity will present itself again and we9ll get another run in the trucks for Billy (Ballew)”.</p>
<p>The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is off until Wednesday, August 19, 2009 where Kyle “Rowdy” Busch will return to the No. 51 Tundra at Bristol Motor Speedway.</p>

<p>Ickler struggled in the first practice Friday afternoon but the Miccosukee team led by Doug George made the right changes getting the No. 51 back on track for the 200 lap, 150 mile race at the Memphis, TN race track.</p>
<p>In oppressive Memphis heat, Ickler took the green flag moving into the seventh place position for the 200-lap race reporting in on the first caution that the truck rotated well in the corners but he was having trouble getting back to the gas. </p>
<p>Ickler continued to battle in the top-10 when the caution came out on lap 52.  Ickler came down for four tires returning the following lap for fuel, track bar and wedge adjustments.  Ickler restarted in the 15th-place position on lap 57.  Caution again returned to the track on lap 63.    After the restart running in the 15th-place position Ickler came down low and got tapped by another competitor that was beneath him sending him into a spin bringing out the caution on lap 74.  Ickler received minimal damage coming down pit road for tires and fuel.</p>
<p>Despite the incident the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort team persevered finishing in the 12th-place position while posting some top scores in NASCAR’s Loop Statistics.  Ickler  was the top closer in the race, improving the most positions in the last 20 laps of the event, fourth in the number of green flag passes, sixth fastest on restarts and ran two of the fastest laps of the race. </p>
<p>The NASCAR Camping World takes a two week break after a five race stretch but will return to action at the Kentucky Speedway Saturday, July 18, 2009.</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>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>Finishing Position:</strong>  10th</p>
<p><strong>Can you talk about your race tonight?</strong></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><strong>Can you talk about your race tonight?</strong></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>

<p>Rain in the Milwaukee area canceled qualifying setting the 36-truck field up by 2009 Owner Points putting the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Toyota Tundra on the pole for the 200 lap, 200 mile race.</p>
<p>Ickler held the point position leading the lap one, but his race truck was too free loosing spots on the ¾-mile racetrack.  Ickler reported in that the truck was having a large rotation in the corners, feeling like the truck was sending him off the corner sideways.</p>
<p>The team brought Ickler down pit road on lap 37 for four fresh Goodyear tires, trackbar and wedge adjustments to help the free conditions.  Ickler restarted in the 11th-place position and reported that the longer the run the better the truck would become.</p>
<p>A long green flag run on the racetrack forced teams to come down pit road under the green for fuel.  Ickler reported he needed more “lateral grip” and came down pit road for service on lap 127 when caution came out trapping the young driver a lap down.</p>
<p>Ickler in the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Toyota Tundra continued to persevere, despite the ill-handling race truck, posting a 15th-place finish for the Billy Ballew Motorsports team.</p>
<p>“We struggled a little in practice but thought we had the truck pretty race ready,” Ickler said. “With the change to a day race we had to chase the truck.  We made some adjustments and were headed in the right direction until we got caught a lap down when we came in for fuel and the caution came out. We&#8217;ll go see what we can do in the Miccosukee Resort Tundra next week in Memphis.”</p>
<p>Billy Ballew maintains the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Owner Points Championship lead as the series heads to the Memphis Motorsports Park Saturday, June 27th. </p>
