<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><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-medium wp-image-3663" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/03/23/david-starr-hopes-to-use-win-and-home-track-advantage-in-martinsville/attachment/2009-ncwts-david-starr/" rel="attachment wp-att-3663"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-david-starr-140x210.jpg" alt="David Starr" title="David Starr" width="140" height="210" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3663" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:140px;">David Starr</div></div><strong>DAVID STARR, No. 24 Zachry Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  9th</p>
<p><strong>Are you disappointed with your finish tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I am.  We keep working hard.  We didn&#8217;t have the best truck tonight.  Our Zachry Toyota Tundra was just okay.  We got it<br />
better towards that second practice yesterday.  Jason Miller, our crew chief, found something.  It just wasn&#8217;t where it needed<br />
to be.  We had some great pit stop strategy and with a lot of heart and hard work, we never gave up.  We came out with a<br />
decent finish.  Top-10s is a good thing, but we shoot for a lot better than that.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What do you think about both HT Motorsports Tundras being in the top 10?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s a good thing.  That&#8217;s what we shoot for, we want both trucks in the top five and top 10.  It was good to see us both<br />
right there close to each other.  We just needed to be a little bit further up the pecking charts.  Not bad for a seventh and<br />
ninth but we&#8217;re definitely working harder to get closer to that number one spot.  With the way our truck was handling and<br />
everything we had to fight against, it was almost like a win for us.  You never get enough until you win these races, so we&#8217;ll<br />
just keep striving and working hard to do that and that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to keep doing.&#8221;</p>

<p>“It’s substantially tighter.  I mean the farther back you go the worse it is.  It is what it is and  we’ll go to Homestead.  It’s frustrating.  I’m proud of everybody.”  </p>
<p><strong>ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO HOMESTEAD NEXT WEEK? </strong> </p>
<p>“I like it for various reasons.  It’s the last race of the year [smiles].  It’s a cool racetrack.  The banking there is a lot of fun.  If you’re not working on the bottom you can move around substantially.  The progressive banking or whatever they call it, the last time I ran there, it’s been a couple of years, but the last time I did I think I qualified in the top-15 or something like that in the Cup race and was running 12th and got wrecked.  It’s a really good place, I love it there.  We’ll just see what we got when we get there.”</p>
<p><strong>YOU HAVE A COMFORTABLE LEAD IN THE RAYBESTOS ROOKIE STANDINGS AND YOU HAVE AN EXCELLENT CHANCE TO FINISH TOP-FIVE IN POINTS.</strong>  </p>
<p>“That’s good.  That’d be huge for a team that was 22nd in points a year ago.”               </p>

<p>“The 16 just got into us at the end of the race.  I guess he doesn’t know how to use the brakes or something.  I’m just real proud of the guys.  They did an awesome job of giving me a truck.  We thought we weren’t any good but we ended up being pretty good.  We’ll just go get ‘em next weekend.  He just got inside of us.  I don’t want to say anything until I see the replay but I’ve had two people come up to me and say he ran over me.”  </p>
<p><strong>IT APPEARED THAT YOU MADE YOUR TRUCK BETTER THROUGHOUT THE RACE.</strong>  </p>
<p>“We just worked hard all weekend and that’s all you can do.  To get wrecked on the last lap stinks but that’s just how it goes sometimes.”  </p>

<p>We kept the fenders on it.  We’d have liked to have finished a little better but we can’t demand too much.  We threw this thing together and we’ll live to fight another day.  We lost a lot of positions the first pit stop.  I think if that wouldn’t have happened we would have never went a lap down and would have got a ten times better finish.  That’s the way it goes.  It’s racing.  The truck was pretty good.  I think I needed a little more front left downforce.  That was my biggest problem.  Like I said, I’m happy for the team and those guys worked hard.  We had a decent qualifying round and we’ll get better.”  </p>
<p><strong>DID YOU MAKE THE TRUCK BETTER DURING THE RACE?</strong>  </p>
<p>“When you compare how we unloaded to how we raced, ten times better.  I’m happy for them.  Like I said, we’ve got some work to do but we’ll start fresh next year with a whole bunch of new KHI equipment.  I’m pretty optimistic about that, very happy for that day to come.”  </p>
<p><strong>ARE YOU LEARNING MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO MAKE THE TRUCK BETTER DURING THE RACE? </strong> </p>
<p>“Yeah absolutely.  You know, just getting laps like last week and this weekend and being competitive, I’m learning a lot.  So when I get to come back to these places next year I’ll have already been here so I expect out of myself to be a lot better, yes.”  </p>

<p>“Just run out of room I guess.  It’s just hard racing.  TJ and I were running hard down the backstretch.  I haven’t talked to TJ yet but, I don’t know, just got run all the way down to the grass and tried to hold on to it and give him all the room I could and couldn’t give him room so run up the track, hit him and it sent me spinning.  </p>
<p>The MAXXFORCE truck was pretty good early on in the race and about halfway through the race the brakes started fading pretty bad and the truck had gotten really, really loose everywhere.  We tried to adjust on it a little bit and I think we made it worse. I was wishing we had some more tires in the pits with 20 to go.”  </p>
<p><strong>DID YOU MAKE THE TRUCK BETTER DURING THE RACE?</strong>  </p>
<p>“I think we made it worse.  The first pit stop we didn’t adjust on it at all.  It was pretty good at the beginning.  Then the second run was a little longer on the tires and a little more fuel burned off so it affected the way the truck was handling and we were trying to set up for the end of the race by making it better at the end of a long run and made it worse in the beginning of the run so just got us way behind, I guess trying to hard to catch back up from getting behind.  Just ran out of room, just hard racing.  We’ll go to Homestead and finish this deal up.”   </p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 1st</p>
<p><strong>How do you feel about how tonight&#8217;s race worked out?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s cool man.  What a Tundra tonight, man.   This Miccosukee / Graceway Pharmaceuticals Tundra was awesome and<br />
Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and these guys have really done their homework lately.  It&#8217;s an accomplishment to beat the 33<br />
(Ron Hornaday, Jr.) bunch here, that&#8217;s for sure.  We got it done today.  You know, it was a lot of fun.  The 88 (Matt<br />
Crafton) &#8212; man, I hate seeing the 88 finish second.  I really wish he could get a win.  I thank the fans for coming out<br />
tonight.  It was a great race.  Thank NOS Energy Drink and all these guys on this pit crew &#8212; Billy Ballew Motorsports.  I&#8217;m<br />
pretty proud accomplishment to be here &#8212; five in a row.  That&#8217;s pretty sweet.  Undefeated back with Richie (Wauters, crew<br />
chief) &#8212; that&#8217;s what&#8217;s even more fun.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What are your chances of winning all three races this weekend?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I hope I didn&#8217;t screw it up for tomorrow.  I&#8217;ve never won here in a truck, but I won the Nationwide races here in the past<br />
three times.  So, looking to try to get the Nationwide win tomorrow.  Dave (Rogers, crew chief) and all the guys on the<br />
M&#038;M&#8217;s Camry will be working hard tomorrow during &#8216;Happy Hour.&#8217;  Try to get us something capable enough of running<br />
up front on Sunday.  We&#8217;ll see what we can get.  It would be pretty awesome to get them all three done here at Texas.  I<br />
wanted to win a truck race here for a long time &#8212; so this is pretty cool.  As soon as I get a Cup win &#8212; another one we can<br />
notch off the list.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you have it when you needed it at the end?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, we did.  We made some good changes on this Miccousukee Tundra today and really brought the thing to life.  I&#8217;m<br />
really proud of Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and all these guys.  This is an awesome race truck.  This is the same one<br />
(truck) we won with at Chicago.  We&#8217;ve got a match to number 11 (chassis).  This is (number) 32 here, 11 was always our<br />
chassis that kicked butt, so now we found another one.  All these guys, they do a great job.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Are your trucks good every time you come to the track?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;For sure.  You know, I really look forward to working with these guys and Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and everybody<br />
that works so hard on this truck.  We&#8217;ve got a lot of guys that probably don&#8217;t make a whole lot of money, but they dig in<br />
real deep and they don&#8217;t quit.  They don&#8217;t go home at five &#8211; they stay late.  That&#8217;s what it takes in this sport.  The dedication<br />
and the people to make it happen.  These guys here, they&#8217;ve been dedicated.  They really work their butts off &#8212; it&#8217;s starting<br />
to prevail for them.  We&#8217;ve got five in a row now with myself and it&#8217;s a total of seven wins for Billy (Ballew, team owner).&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you run the truck pretty hard at the end and wear down the right front tire?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, I did.  I was trying to stay away from the 88 (Matt Crafton) catching me &#8212; I was trying to stay away from him.  He<br />
was running me down.  He had a great truck.  I hat seeing Matt (Crafton) finish second.  He needs a win in this deal and<br />
especially to me.  We&#8217;re pretty good friends.  I wish I could pull over and give it to him, but that wouldn&#8217;t be racing.  Again,<br />
I had to run hard and I ended up pushing the right front tire off for a little bit too much, probably.  It lasted just enough,<br />
man.  Those lapped trucks that I had to get by in the last 10, 12, 15 laps, whatever it was &#8211; really hurt our performance of<br />
the truck and so we were fairly able to hold off the 88 (Matt Crafton) &#8211; which is cool.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Are the Toyotas getting better gas mileage than the other trucks?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Chevrolet and Ford lobbied for Toyota to get a smaller plate and it helped our fuel mileage.  So, thanks guys.  That&#8217;s all<br />
the difference right there.  Those guys have a bigger spacer-plate, we have tapered spacers and they have a bigger one so it<br />
allows more air to pass through.  When you allow more air to pass through, it takes more fuel to keep the engine running<br />
right.  Those guys have worse fuel mileage than we do.  The Toyota Tundras though, the guys in the engine shop at Triad,<br />
they&#8217;ve been working real hard to get us more horsepower and at the same time use less fuel to get better fuel mileage.<br />
Every engine builder does that, but our guys have made some gains this year in that area.  All you can do is get it from the<br />
crew chief.  If you&#8217;re short, you may have to conserve, but if you&#8217;re good to go, then you just go.  The Toyotas seem to get<br />
about &#8212; in a full fuel run &#8212; we seem to get three to five laps more than those guys.  It&#8217;s not significant, but it&#8217;s enough<br />
where sometimes it can make the difference.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>RICHIE WAUTERS, crew chief, No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>What was your role in tonight&#8217;s win?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;When we started out tonight, we weren&#8217;t the best truck out there.  We had problems, we were a little bit tight and a little bit<br />
free at the same time.  We made a few adjustments and it helped it.  The last stop we made another adjustment and it was<br />
the best the truck was all night.  Of course, with Kyle (Busch) driving, he&#8217;s worth something there, too.  We&#8217;ve been<br />
working hard and the Toyota Tundra was the best it was all night long at the end.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 4th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a good run.  We were free in practice and we thought we had adjusted it and got it better.  It was just too free all<br />
through the race.  We kept adjusting it until it was as good as it was going to get.  Our Copart Tundra was just too free.  I got<br />
behind Ron (Hornaday, Jr) and  started racing him and got aero-tight and chassis-loose and it was a handful to hang onto.  To<br />
come home fourth, it&#8217;s not a win.  It&#8217;s not a third or second, it&#8217;s a little disappointing.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Are you disappointed with this finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We were just too free.  The way the rules package is, these Tundras they keep them from running with the other guys so we<br />
have to trim them out and really be free.  We stepped over the edge and had it too free.  Kyle (Busch) again hit it right on the<br />
money to get it right on without it being loose.  It was still a good run.  The Copart Tundra was fast.  I&#8217;m disappointed, we<br />
wanted to get another win at Texas, but fourth is good.  The way the middle part of the season was going, I think it we had<br />
five or six top-10s in a row, so I think we&#8217;re back in form.  We&#8217;re doing things right.  It&#8217;s about all you can do.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  7th</p>
<p><strong>How was your truck tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We had a really good Albertsons Toyota Tundra all night.  I had to fight track position at the drop of the green &#8212; didn&#8217;t<br />
have a perfect truck.  Jeff Hensley (crew chief) and everybody on the Xpress crew, they made the right adjustments and in<br />
the second run, man we were hauling.  We were fast.  I think, actually it wasn&#8217;t the second run because the first pit stop we<br />
took gas only.  After we got tires the next caution after that, we were flying.  I think we were fast as any truck out there.  We<br />
drove out to fourth.  We had a great four tire pit stop.  Came back in and pulled out of the gas and a lapped down truck<br />
pinned us in the pits and we gave away all the track position.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:  </strong> 9th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with another top 10 finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was another top-10.  Our Zachry Toyota Tundra was pretty awesome tonight.  The team did a great job because our truck<br />
wasn&#8217;t very good at the start of the race.  We fought a lot of issues until about three-quarters of the way through the race.<br />
Jason Miller, the crew chief, and all the guys on our Zachry team did an excellent job.  They finally got it fixed and we<br />
came alive right there at the end.  It was a little too late, but we were battling trying to catch up.  </p>
<p>We needed another caution to put us in the show.  From what we started with to how it ended up, we&#8217;re pretty proud and that says a lot about this racing team.  It takes the force that we never give up and when our back is up against the wall, we just keep digging.  It was pretty good.  Not what we wanted, but a top -10 finish and we&#8217;ll hold up our head high and leave knowing we gave it everything we got.  We just got beat by better trucks tonight and we&#8217;ll go win at Phoenix next week.&#8221;</p>

<p>Sauter collected his ninth top-10 in 21 career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series superspeedway starts.    </p>

<p>“We just lost the handling there a little bit but that’s really kind of where we were.  It was a good run.  I’m happy.  It’s nice to finally finish a race with nothing all wrecked up.  I had a blast this year with these guys.  I’ve got to thank KHI, obviously Monster Energy and glad to be second Raybestos Rookie today.  I’m happy to bring this thing home in one piece and get a solid run.  The guys that beat me, they’re no flak.”  </p>
<p><strong>DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOUR PLANS MIGHT BE FOR NEXT YEAR? </strong> </p>
<p>“Hopefully I’ll do a full year of trucks next year, be back in this series.  We’ll have some more stuff later on this week to let everyone know but my plan would be to run the whole series.  You’ve got to be in it every race.  That’s our goal, that’s the plan, and we’ll let everyone know.”       </p>
<p><strong>JAMES BUESCHER, No. 10 INTERNATIONAL MAXXFORCE DIESEL FORD: </strong> </p>
<p>“It started off good.  We raced up in the top-10 for the first maybe 20 laps.  It depends on the aerodynamic part of it so much for grip with all the dirty air.  I mean we were good in practice and qualified decent but with all the dirty air around us it just wouldn’t do<br />
anything and had no grip all night.  I fought a loose truck all day and didn’t finish real good.”  </p>
<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 ONE-EIGHTY TOYOTA:</strong>  </p>
<p>“We just didn’t have a truck this weekend.  I mean we couldn’t hold it wide open like everyone else could.  I don’t know what to say.  They did a good job during practice.  I thought we had a good truck but ended up being not true.  We were too tight all night and then we couldn’t get on the restarts.  We were too loose.  Couldn’t get it figured out.”    </p>

<p><strong>Post-Race Notes &amp; Quotes</strong></p>
<p><strong>Talladega Superspeedway &#8211; October 31, 2009</strong></p>
<p>- Kyle Busch was victorious in Saturday&#8217;s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) race at Talladega Superspeedway.  Busch led 10 of 98 laps at the 2.66-mile Alabama oval en route to victory lane.</p>
<p>- The win enabled Toyota to clinch its fourth consecutive NCWTS manufacturer&#8217;s title (2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009).</p>
<p>- Aric Almirola (second), Todd Bodine (third), Terry Cook (fourth) and David Starr (fifth) also recorded top-five results in Tundras, the first time since April 2006 (St. Louis) that Toyota has swept the top-five positions in an NCWTS event.</p>
<p>- Tundra drivers Stacy Compton (seventh), Timothy Peters (11th), Mike Skinner (19th), Max Papis (22nd), Brian Scott (23rd), Tayler Malsam (27th) and T.J. Bell (29th) were also in the field.</p>
<p>- Five Tundra drivers are among the top-10 in the unofficial NCWTS point standings &#8212; Skinner (third), Bodine (fourth), Scott (sixth), Peters (seventh) and Starr (ninth) &#8211; with three races remaining in the 2009 season.</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-28520" style="auto;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-28520" href="http://www.catchfence.com/?attachment_id=28520"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-28520" title="Kyle Busch wins the Mountain Dew 250 fueled by Fred’s at Talladega Superspeedway" src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/KB.jpg" alt="Kyle Busch wins the Mountain Dew 250 fueled by Fred’s at Talladega Superspeedway" width="200" height="133" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:200px;">Kyle Busch wins the Mountain Dew 250 fueled by Fred’s at Talladega Superspeedway</div></div><strong>KYLE BUSCH, No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</strong></p>
<p><strong>Finishing Position: </strong>1st</p>
<p><strong>How did the final lap of the race feel?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That just happened &#8211; unbelievable.  I owe everything to Aric Almirola today.  Sticking with me from that last pit stop to the end, I told him if he just stayed with me they wouldn&#8217;t be able to beat the 15 (Almirola) and 51 (Busch).  Awesome job to Aric (Almirola), he can take my half of the pay after today.  I don&#8217;t get paid anything.  I don&#8217;t know what Billy Ballew will work out with him.  What an awesome truck &#8211; this Miccosukee Tundra was great today.</p>
<p>The guys did an awesome job building it. You can only go as fast as what it&#8217;s built from the shop so obviously a lot of work went into this thing.  Toyota clinched the manufacturer&#8217;s championship &#8211; that&#8217;s awesome.  Thank NOS Energy Drink, thank the fans &#8211; it was a lot of fun today.  There was a few moments that maybe got a hairy and a little sketchy, but overall it worked out in the end for us so that&#8217;s awesome.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What were you able to say to Aric Almirola in the closing laps of the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I need a more private channel so not everybody hears it.  Basically, I had to tell him just the ways that I&#8217;ve been here in the past.  Last year I got beat.  The first year I was horrible.  We won&#8217;t go there, I think I was eighth or ninth, made a lot of mistakes.  Last year I saved a lot of that till the end of the race and didn&#8217;t quite get in the position that I needed to be in. Today, I had Aric (Almirola) behind me who really helped me and being able to just talk through him and telling him what to do &#8211; if we just stayed together.  The biggest patience in this race, I know it was 94 laps today, but there was 93 laps of patience and a one lap free for all that wins this thing.  Aric (Almirola) did an awesome job.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you worried that you were making your final move too late?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;No because I wasn&#8217;t yet to the 30 (Todd Bodine) &#8211; I wasn&#8217;t sure of what direction I needed to go, I wasn&#8217;t sure if he was going to block.  I sort of started up high slow to see if he would.  Aric (Almirola) was bumping me there so I didn&#8217;t want to be too jerky on the wheel and spin myself out on his truck.  I just pulled up nice and smooth and Todd (Bodine) held his line and we just went around the outside of him.  I was kind of surprised by that, but I guess he learned from my own mistake at Daytona, when you try to move up in front of a train that&#8217;s coming &#8211; you&#8217;re going to wreck.  We&#8217;ve seen that the last few times here, Carl (Edwards) tried to do the same thing with the 09 (Brad Keselowski) or whatever.  I guess when you&#8217;re the leader coming down towards the stretch you&#8217;re better off to just hold your line and take what you&#8217;re going to get.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How much did bump drafting play a role in today&#8217;s race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It definitely played a role because you never know how close you are to NASCAR&#8217;s line of going over of being too aggressive.  Earlier in the race the 30 (Todd Bodine) and the 25 (Terry Cook) were teamed up pushing each other down the backstretch and the 25 (Cook) got crossed up getting into turn three and they gave him a warning.  Then five laps later, he&#8217;s doing it again &#8211; all the way down the backstretch.  You can bump draft is fine, apparently, but push drafting is what the problem is.  I don&#8217;t know if there needs to be a new term laid out there, but I think I just did it.  The push draft is the problem and that happened a couple times today.</p>
<p>I never did it &#8211; I was bump drafting the five (Mike Skinner) when we were getting up towards the front.  I would always bump him, get off him, bump him, get off him &#8211; it would help the row along, but it wasn&#8217;t like two trucks get teamed up together and just push draft all the way around the track.  I don&#8217;t know where that line is.  I don&#8217;t know &#8211; you warn a guy once and he does it again and you don&#8217;t post him or don&#8217;t do anything about it then what&#8217;s the penalty.  Apparently everybody was supposed to be warned in the driver&#8217;s meeting, but I guess you can still get warnings out on the race track.  It&#8217;s a hard situation to understand, but Aric (Almirola) and I, we saved it for the last lap, from turn four on to the start-finish.  I think we played it out nicely.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What would you like to see NASCAR do about &#8216;push-drafting?&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;What I would like to see is if NASCAR issues the warning in the driver&#8217;s meeting tomorrow then that&#8217;s your warning.  If you do it and cross their line, their aggressive driving line they&#8217;ve got, if you go over that then I would like to see a drive through penalty &#8211; you get posted, black-flagged, drive through penalty.  Then you have to come down and do your penalty.  How long can you push a guy?  On the Cup side, Denny (Hamlin) has actually been practicing that in practice the past few years here. His time is two laps &#8211; he can push a guy for two complete, full laps and then he starts to get about 250 degrees on water temp, which is about too high.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What is the difference between a &#8216;bump-draft&#8217; and a &#8216;push-draft?&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t really want to push or bump draft through the corners, that&#8217;s the thing.  Here you can get away with doing it because there&#8217;s so much grip.  The push draft, when you get up on a guy and just start pushing him and you start picking his speed up, you actually start lifting him up off the race track and the back of the truck is just sort of sliding around.  It&#8217;s like a wheel barrel, you&#8217;re just up on the front two tires like you&#8217;re just steering it like that. The bump draft, if it&#8217;s gentle enough, if you&#8217;re not Juan Pablo Montoya and just plow a guy and if you just bump a guy, you can keep that row going.  It&#8217;s just little bumps, it doesn&#8217;t lift your tires off the ground, it doesn&#8217;t do anything and it gives that guy a sense.  When you bump them straight on, he might have to move the wheel a little bit, but he&#8217;s not chasing the back of his truck all around when he&#8217;s getting a push draft.  He just gets a bump, figures it out and he&#8217;s back on the ground.  It happens quick enough where everything settles out.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Finishing Position:</strong> 2nd</p>
<p><strong>How was your race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a good race, it was fun.  We had a good truck.  I&#8217;m real proud of Doug George (crew chief) and all the guys on this team.  Everybody at Billy Ballew Motorsports did a great job and worked really hard.  We had two awesome speedway trucks and it showed today.  There were not very many people that could hang with us (Kyle Busch) when we got together and we proved that a couple times throughout the race.  We tried not to show our cards too much in the beginning.  It paid off and it was a one-two finish for Billy Ballew &#8211; I just wanted to be one bad.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What did it mean when Kyle Busch drove down pit road to thank you?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It meant the world.  As hard as it is to win these races, he&#8217;s won a lot of them and he knows that it was a team effort today. Congratulations to Billy Ballew in his 300th start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and he got a one-two finish so that&#8217;s pretty awesome for him.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Was bump drafting getting out of hand for a truck race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;In the beginning of the race, Todd (Bodine) was behind me and I was behind the six (Colin Braun) and I never touched the six, Todd (Bodine) never touched me and we were just cruising around, just riding.  I was riding seriously half to three- quarters throttle just to make sure that I didn&#8217;t run into the back of the six (Braun).  30 laps into the race, all of the sudden I was getting slammed from the back.  It was for no reason really, we weren&#8217;t going anywhere. The guy in front of me wasn&#8217;t going to go any faster from me slamming into him.  A couple times I actually burned the brakes up, the brakes went all the way to the floor board just to keep from running over the people in front of me.  If we knocked our grill and our duct work in, then we had to come in to take tape off then we surely weren&#8217;t going to have a shot to win.  I think people were really aggressive and didn&#8217;t need to be.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Finishing Position: </strong> 3rd</p>
<p><strong>Are you disappointed with a third-place finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We got used to winning for sure.  We made the right move &#8211; we had a great truck and made the right move at the end and got the lead.  We just didn&#8217;t have a teammate.  Kyle (Busch) had his teammate right behind him.  I could have blocked him coming to the checkers, but I didn&#8217;t want to be like Carl Edwards and end up in the catch fence.  With Kyle (Busch), that&#8217;s what would have happened &#8211; he&#8217;s a racer and you can&#8217;t blame him for that.  It was a great day for Billy Ballew Motorsports with a one-two finish.  Our Germain Copart Tundra was fast, it was again the best truck and it drove fantastic.  We just ended up third.  There&#8217;s nothing you can do but be happy with it and we had a good day.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Was bump drafting getting out of hand for a truck race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;This is my one chance to speak so I&#8217;m going to speak a little bit here.  They need to do something with the Cup cars, the Nationwide cars and the trucks with the bump drafting &#8211; everybody knows it, everybody said it.  It&#8217;s getting out of control with the Cup cars with guys hitting each other in the corners, spinning each other out.  It&#8217;s a simple solution &#8211; brace the back bumpers up as hard as you can brace them.  You ought to see the back bumper in my truck &#8211; it&#8217;s like a Mack Truck bumper. The next thing you do is you take the bumper out of the front so if you hit somebody, you hit them with fiberglass.  I&#8217;m not going to hit somebody with fiberglass and mess my aerodynamics up so what&#8217;s that do?  It stops everybody from bump drafting, it&#8217;s a simple solution.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Finishing Position: </strong> 4th</p>
<p><strong>What happened to your truck early in the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We were losing horsepower so we had to come in and work on it and every we were taping the air box and got it double- nutted so then we were able to fix that.  Then we blew up the transmission with about 14 laps to go and it was spitting rear end grease out, smoking inside the truck.  We had just about everything go wrong that you could and still come out with a top-five finish.  This is a big day for Harris Trucking  &#8212; to have two trucks in the top-five &#8211; that&#8217;s a big weekend.  I wish I wouldn&#8217;t have had to come from the back because we had a horse.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Finishing Position: </strong> 5th</p>
<p><strong>What was your strategy in the closing laps?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We were trying to do the right thing, I was thinking of which way I should go and who I should go with.  Going from second to fifth is a little disappointing, but a top-five for HT Motorsports and Terry Cook did a heck of a job.  I should have jumped up to the high side, but you second-guess yourself and if I would have jumped up to the high side then they would have gone to the bottom.  Then I would have finished a little further back.  It was a great race &#8211; our Zachery Toyota Tundra was awesome.  All the guys did a heck of a job and I can&#8217;t thank them enough.&#8221;</p>

YOU WERE RUNNING TOGETHER IN THE OUTSIDE LINE.</strong>  </p>
<p>“I actually cost the 88 [Crafton] the race.  If I wouldn’t have pulled up in front of him he probably could have won it.  We just struggled from the word go to the end of the race.  It’s just frustrating.  I hate it but that’s the way it is.”  </p>
<p><strong>WHAT DID YOU SEE WHEN THE BIG WRECK HAPPENED IN TURN 3?  IT LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK.  </strong></p>
<p>“Skinner doing what he pretty much usually does.  Just racing, I mean, he’s trying to make it a hole and there wasn’t a hole and wrecked a bunch of good trucks and we got some damage out of it, too.”  </p>
<p><strong>DID THAT PRETTY MUCH END ANY HOPE OF GETTING INTO THE TOP-10?</strong>  </p>
<p>“Oh yeah, we had flat tires and damage and green-white-checker, everybody is tore up back there and there’s no way you’re going to get where you need to go.  Just glad to get the heck out of here.”   </p>

<p>“It was okay.  We just really couldn’t draft good at all.  We couldn’t do anything.  I got turned around at end there for people not paying attention.  I had already rolled out of the throttle and we had cleared the wreck just about and got right reared.  There’s not much you can do about it but didn’t tear the truck up.  We’ll go to Texas and see if we can finish out the year strong.”  </p>
<p><strong>HOW MUCH DID YOU LEARN TODAY THAT WILL HELP YOU WHEN YOU GET TO DAYTONA NEXT YEAR? </strong> </p>
<p>“I don’t think many people know what they’re doing [smiles].  Just didn’t really have a lot to draft with.  Jumped up the lead of the outside one time and it just killed the whole outside groove.  Could not lead, couldn’t suck up, couldn’t do anything with it.  Just kind of rode the whole 98 laps and finished where we could finish.  Not much we could do about it.”   </p>

<p>“Actually we got up front early, fell back and were back up front again.  What do you do?  I thought we were in a great position and I don’t know what happened.  I haven’t seen the replay or anything but it’s just a shame for the team.  They were working hard and we came back up and wanted that Raybestos Rookie of the Race and didn’t get it.  I’m happy with how good we were running.  We were in the top-10 at the end, couldn’t get through all the mess.  I think I got clipped from the side. There were guys going every which way.  I was like ‘Oh, I’m going to make it.’  Right when you say that it’s over but that’s the way it goes.”     </p>
<p><strong>J R FITZPATRICK, No. 29 EQUIPMENT EXPRESS CHEVROLET:  </strong></p>
<p>“It was fairly good.  We for sure had a top-10.  I made a couple mistakes but I was really trying to clear that 9 truck but overall a great day.  I love being with the 29 team and hopefully I can get one more race.  Like I said I think we could have had a top-10 there if I didn’t get involved in that last little wreck there but learned a lot, had a lot of fun and look forward to coming back.”  </p>
<p><strong>YOU SEEM TO BE PRETTY GOOD AT DRAFTING BECAUSE YOU STAYED IN THE LEAD DRAFT MOST OF THE DAY. </strong> </p>
<p>“I am not a hundred percent sure but I think this is the first time that the 29 team has had a truck at a superspeedway.  It’s good research, good development that’ll be made.  I think it needs to be better by itself, whether it’s power or body or whatever. We were a little down on that but everything else was great.  As soon as I got in the draft I got to work it a little bit and we got back up near the front.  It was a good run.”       </p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-3651" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/03/24/tayler-malsam-no-81-one-eighty-toyota-tundra-martinsville-speedway-preview/attachment/2009-ncwts-tayler-malsam/" rel="attachment wp-att-3651"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-tayler-malsam.jpg" alt="Tayler Malsam" title="Tayler Malsam" width="160" height="240" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3651" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:160px;">Tayler Malsam</div></div><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 ONE-EIGHTY TOYOTA:  </p>
<p>WHAT HAPPENED?</strong>  </p>
<p>“We were trying to check-up and got hit from behind I think.  We had an awesome One Eighty Tundra today.  The guys did an awesome job and we were just kind of hanging in there waiting for those last five laps but that’s how Talladega usually goes.”  </p>
<p><strong>FOR THE MOST PART THE RACE APPEARED TO BE CALM.</strong>  </p>
<p>“People were definitely being patient.  It was starting to get rowdy those last five laps there and next thing you know we’re in the wall.  What are you going to do?” </p>
<p><strong>CHRIS JONES, No. 41 MIKE BERG TRUCKING DODGE:  </p>
<p>YOU LED SOME LAPS TODAY.</strong>  </p>
<p>“It was real good in the draft. We got up there and led a few laps.  We stayed out the first caution just to stay up there and lead and fell back but was able to come back and work our way up through there slowly, just kind of biding our time.  We ended up losing the clutch.  The caution that came out right before we come in I pushed the clutch in to downshift it and there was nothing there.  It’s a shame.  We had a good truck.  I think we’d have had an easy top-10.”     </p>

<p>Post-Qualifying Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>Talladega Superspeedway &#8211; October 30, 2009</strong></p>
<p><strong>TERRY COOK, No. 25 Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  2nd</p>
<p><strong>How was your qualifying lap?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re very pleased with the Harris Trucking / Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra.  It was good.  On the chassis dyno and the wind<br />
tunnel, if they tell you anything, they tell you you&#8217;ve got a pretty truck.  We spent a lot of time with this truck, rubbing on it and<br />
made sure that it not only qualified good, but really, ultimately raced well.  So far, the qualifying part is coming true and<br />
hopefully it will race well tomorrow.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of the rule changes announced for 2010?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Thank you.  That is it, thank you.  It&#8217;s been a long time coming.  The rule changes, I think NASCAR did a great job in making sure<br />
the teams could feasibly get through the season so I applaud them for that.  The pit stop rules that we had where you fuel one time<br />
and then tires on the next, I think it just confused everybody, confused the drivers.  I think we opened ourselves up to getting<br />
somebody hurt, whether it be a track worker on the track or crew members on pit road.  Going back to the format and now we have<br />
figured out a way to where it&#8217;s going to be six people over the wall so that saves us the cost of one person, instead of the Cup or<br />
Nationwide that have seven, so that&#8217;s going to help a bunch.  </p>
<p>The new engine rule where we have to run a sealed motor every two races instead of every three is going to help a bunch.  Really excited about the outlook of the Truck Series going forward and as you mentioned, having been here for as many starts as I&#8217;ve had, I&#8217;ve seen the Truck Series go through a lot of changes and I applaud NASCAR for making this change.  </p>
<p>The double-file restarts, I first saw that in Phoenix in the Camping World West Series back in April and I thought it was just great side-by-side racing.  I was excited when it got introduced into the Nationwide and Cup series, but was disappointed that they didn&#8217;t do it in the Truck Series around Indianapolis race weekend.  Knowing that going forward we&#8217;re going to have double-file restarts, I&#8217;m excited about that as well.  I applaud all their changes.  Personally, I think it was a little overdue, I was looking for all these changes about mid-season this year, but glad to see they are taking the initiative to where we<br />
will have them next year.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>MAX PAPIS, No. 13 GEICO Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 3rd</p>
<p><strong>How much are you looking forward to tomorrow&#8217;s race with such a good qualifying run?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The GEICO Toyota was just great &#8212; it drove by itself.  We did a lot of work to make it a little faster and the guys in the shop,<br />
they&#8217;re just amazing.  It&#8217;s as much of a team effort as it can be.  When you come to a place like this I think you need to maximize<br />
the length of the bolt in the truck.  I guess they did it all and it&#8217;s proven to work.  It might have been facilitated a bit by starting in<br />
the back, but you need to put up the number and we did it so we&#8217;re happy.  This is a big thing for me, especially since it&#8217;s the second<br />
time for me at Talladega.  Just let me enjoy what it means to be in the top-five because it&#8217;s just huge.  I know it&#8217;s only qualifying,<br />
but I just like to enjoy every second of it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 15 Graceway Pharmaceuticals/AKawareness.com Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 5th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with your qualifying lap?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really pleased with that.  We go to these restrictor plate races all the time and we watch the 30 (Todd Bodine), as far as<br />
Toyotas go, outrun us.  He&#8217;s won the last four of them.  I think that&#8217;s pretty good for us, let alone just to be able to outrun him in<br />
qualifying.  Qualifying doesn&#8217;t mean a whole lot here.  We practiced real well, we got a good race truck, so I&#8217;m excited for<br />
tomorrow.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 6th</p>
<p><strong>How was your qualifying effort?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I got a lot of excuses.  I had a headwind down the front straightaway, and a flock of geese flew in front of me in front of the back<br />
and messed the air all up and slowed me way down.  It&#8217;s Talladega.  It doesn&#8217;t matter where you start.  It&#8217;s how good your truck<br />
drives, how good it drives in the draft.  This truck has won the last four speedway races and it drives awesome.  We actually even<br />
made it a little better this morning with a couple things.  I think the Copart Tundra is going to be just fine.  It&#8217;s great to have the<br />
pole, but that doesn&#8217;t get the big check and the big trophy.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Does your starting position at Talladega affect your strategy?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re way back, yeah, you have to look at it a little differently.  I don&#8217;t even know what I ran, but we&#8217;ll be close to 10th or<br />
something and that&#8217;s close enough to the front.  Just find a hole and just wait around for the end and see what you got.  Make some<br />
adjustments and go from there.  I&#8217;ve started like 28th here before and 10 laps was leading.  If you do the right things in the draft and<br />
you make the right moves, it&#8217;s not a big deal.  I&#8217;m not really worried about it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 One Eighty Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 8th</p>
<p><strong>How was your truck in practice?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was awesome.  This Randy Moss team did an awesome job giving me a good truck.  Same one as we brought to Daytona and<br />
we had a lot of fun with it.  It should be a good race.  Drafting here is so much different than Daytona.  It&#8217;s so much more smooth<br />
and it&#8217;s a lot more fun, that&#8217;s for sure.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How much fun is it to learn drafting techniques from the veterans?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I like it a lot, especially following Mike (Skinner) or (Ron) Hornaday and those guys, because I can follow them up through the<br />
track and see where their lines go and how they like to run.  It&#8217;s a lot of fun and I&#8217;m very fortunate to have Mike (Skinner) as a<br />
teammate, especially if we qualify near each other today.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>STACY COMPTON, No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance / Melling Engine Parts Toyota Tundra, Wyler Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 9th</p>
<p><strong>KYLE BUSCH, No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  10th</p>
<p><strong>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 PC Miler Navigator Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  11th</p>
<p><strong>How was your truck in qualifying?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s the first qualifying run that we&#8217;ve done and our PC Miler Navigator Toyota Tundra is driving very, very good today.  I think<br />
it&#8217;ll race pretty good.  I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re the cream of the crop, by any means, but if we catch the right draft there towards the end, I think we can finish well.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How sensitive are the trucks to who you&#8217;re drafting with?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not so much how sensitive the trucks are, it&#8217;s how you react to what the drivers are gonna do.  We were talking about that<br />
earlier.  Over in the Cup (Series) side, you&#8217;re drafting with certain people and you say, &#8216;He&#8217;s gonna do one of three or four things.&#8217;<br />
You can kind of narrow it down.  There&#8217;s been a couple of them I was riding around out there with today, there might be 10<br />
different things, or eight different things.  I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Wow, why did he do that?&#8217;  It&#8217;s just the experience level with those guys over<br />
there.  They&#8217;re a little bit more seasoned as far as drafting goes.  You gotta be a little bit aware.  You can&#8217;t take it for granted, what<br />
the guy in front of your or beside you is gonna do over here.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>RAYBESTOS® ROOKIE CONTENDER QUALIFYING QUOTES </p>
<p>FOR THE MOUNTAIN DEW 250 NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES RACE </p>
<p>AT TALLADEGA SUPERSPEEDWAY, OCTOBER 30, 2009, </strong></p>
<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 ONE-EIGHTY TOYOTA:</strong> </p>
<p>“That was a good lap.  Doug [Wolcott, crew chief] and the guys did an awesome job giving me another fast truck like they do every weekend.  Pretty much doesn’t really matter where you qualify here.  We’re just lucky to be up front and get more TV time [smiles].  We’ll have a fun race tomorrow and this track is way smoother than Daytona and should be a lot easier than Daytona.”  </p>
<p><strong>HOW BIG OF A FACTOR WAS THE WIND? </strong> </p>
<p>“I guess we just got a good gust there.  That’s what my guess is.  I mean everyone is about the same when you go around here so hopefully everyone gets a bad guest after that.”  </p>
<p><strong>YOU DIDN’T PICK UP A LOT ON THAT SECOND LAP.</strong>  </p>
<p>“We had a big headwind on the front straightaway.  There was a big wind on that second lap compared to the first one and that’s what killed us.  I think we could have picked up more if we had the same wind as the first lap but that’s just how it goes.”  </p>
<p><strong>DO YOU LIKE RESTRICTOR PLATE RACING? </strong> </p>
<p>“Yeah it’s a lot of fun.  I wish I could figure it out more and wish I had more experience so I could know what to do in the draft.  Like we did in Daytona we’re just going to stay in the bottom and hang on until those last 10 laps and then we’ll try to make a move and hopefully follow Skinner or Hornaday or Bodine up to the front because those guys know what they’re doing.”  </p>
<p><strong>DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE GETTING PEOPLE TO DRAFT WITH YOU?</strong>  </p>
<p>“I’m sure you will with those rookie stripes tomorrow.  I know today people got behind us but they’d also pull off. Hopefully they trust me enough and I’ve shown enough respect all year for them to stick with me at the end of the race but we’ll see what happens.  It’s all whoever pulls the last straw type deal wins tomorrow.  We saw at Daytona that if everyone went with Skinner and Colin and luckily we finished 10th.  Hopefully this weekend someone picks me and takes someone else out of the mix.  We’ll see how it goes.  It should be a fun race.”         </p>
<p><strong>JOHNNY SAUTER, No. 13 FUN SAND/RODNEY ATKINS/CURB RECORDS CHEVROLET:  ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THAT LAP? </strong> </p>
<p>“It doesn’t matter [smiles].  By lap two you’ll have forgotten completely where everybody started.  Just have to stay out of trouble.  That’s my biggest deal is just trying to stay out of trouble.  We’ll see what the day brings us.”  </p>
<p><strong>YOU HAVE A LOT OF SUPERSPEEDWAY EXPERIENCE.  DOES THAT MEAN PEOPLE ARE MORE WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU IN THE DRAFT?  </strong></p>
<p>“I don’t know, I doubt it.  I don’t think that really matters.  I think people know who’s got fast stuff and when you see somebody go blowing by you or whatever you tend to want to be with that truck.  You’ve got to have speed.  I’d like to think it works that way but I know I don’t care who’s driving what if I see them and they’re fast I’ll work with them.  Strength in numbers, baby.”  </p>
<p><strong>YOU RAN UP FRONT AT DAYTONA BACK IN FEBRUARY.  IS THIS THE SAME TRUCK?  </strong></p>
<p>“It’s the same truck we had at Daytona but unfortunately we wrecked it down there.  I definitely think we can get out there and mix it up a little bit.  Personally I don’t think we’re as fast as we want to be and we actually had pretty high expectations coming here but it’s all good.  That’s why they call is racing: competition.”     </p>
<p><strong>JAMES BUESCHER, No. 10 INTERNATIONAL MAXX FORCE DIESEL FORD:</strong>  </p>
<p>“We run a 53.80 in practice so I don’t know where we lost four and a half, five tenths at but we lost it somewhere.  We were consistent.  I think we ran a .24 and a.26 so you can get much more consistent than that.  I guess we’ve got to see how this thing will draft in the race.”  </p>
<p><strong>DID YOU WORK ON DRAFTING IN PRACTICE TODAY? </strong> </p>
<p>“We really did half and half.  We did three qualifying runs so I thought we’d qualify a lot better than this.  We’ll see where we end up and hopefully the MAXXFORCE Ford will race better than it qualified.”  </p>
<p><strong>DO YOU LIKE THIS TYPE OF RACING?</strong>  </p>
<p>“I do.  It’s a lot of fun, different animal.  It gets pretty intense.  I enjoy it.  It’s fun to get out there and draft and use the air to your advantage.  I’d like to put it in victory lane.  We’ll see how it goes tomorrow and hopefully we’ll wind up in victory lane.”   </p>
<p><strong>RICKY CARMICHAEL, No. 4 MONSTER ENERGY CHEVROLET: </strong> </p>
<p>“I was hoping for a high 53, a 53.9.  Dang it, we’re never going to beat Hornaday in qualifying [laughs].  I started one behind him at Daytona so to start behind him in whatever row we end up in would be awesome.  I’m happy.  The truck drives great and I can’t wait.  I want to be Raybestos Rookie of the Race.”  </p>
<p><strong>AT LEAST YOU HAVE SOME SEAT TIME IN THIS TYPE OF RACING. </strong> </p>
<p>“This one, the handling you don’t have to worry about like at Daytona.  I like plate racing.  I think it’s fun.”  </p>
<p><strong>WILL ANYONE DRAFT WITH YOU?  </strong></p>
<p>“Me?  Heck no I’m a rookie.  No one is going to draft with me and the position I’m in probably everybody thinks everything is given to me so they for sure are not going to follow me.  I’m not scared to go with somebody.  I’ll just be a push.  If I can’t win I want my teammate Ron Hornaday to win.”     </p>
<p><strong>CHRIS JONES, No. 41 MIKE BERG TRUCKING DODGE: </strong> </p>
<p>“We tried a lot in practice on qualifying runs and run better in practice than we did here in qualifying but that’s all right.  Once you get out there in the draft it really doesn’t matter.  It’s all who you hook up with.  It’ll be good experience for me.  It’s my first time here so we’ll try to learn a lot and get out there and follow some good guys and try to learn as much as I can.”  </p>
<p><strong>HOW MUCH DRAFTING EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE?</strong>  </p>
<p>“This is my first time at Talladega.  I’ve run Michigan and you get a little bit there but at a track like this drafting is real big here.”  </p>
<p><strong>HAS ANYONE GIVEN YOU ADVICE ABOUT THE RACE? </strong> </p>
<p>“A little bit, just trying to stay out of trouble and just be patient.  That’s the main thing that I’ve heard all weekend is just be patient, use your head and don’t go out there beating on a lot of people.  Hopefully it’ll be good experience for Daytona and hopefully we’ll make it there in February.”  </p>
<p><strong>COMMENT ON QUALIFYING SO CLOSE TO DARKNESS.  </strong> </p>
<p>“It wasn’t too bad.  You could still see where you were going.” </p>
<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM WAS THE TOP RAYBESTOS ROOKIE IN TODASY’S QUALIFYING SESSION AT TALLADEGA.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TOYOTA NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS)</p>
<p>Post-Race Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>Martinsville Speedway &#8211; October 24, 2009</strong></p>
<p>- Tundra driver Timothy Peters, who resides in Danville, Va., earned his first career NASCAR Camping World Truck<br />
Series (NCWTS) win in Saturday afternoon&#8217;s race at Martinsville Speedway.</p>
<p>- Peters led the final 84 (of 200) laps to earn the 12th victory for Toyota in 2009 and the 63rd since joining series<br />
competition in 2004.</p>
<p>- Along with Peters, five Tundra drivers also earned top-10 finishes at half-mile Virginia short track, including Todd<br />
Bodine (second), Denny Hamlin (sixth), David Starr (eighth) and Terry Cook (10th).</p>
<p>- Toyota drivers Aric Almirola (12th), Stacy Compton (14th), Max Papis (21st), Mike Skinner (23rd), Brian Scott (24th),<br />
Tayler Malsam (28th), T.J. Bell (30th) and Peyton Sellers (31st) were also in the field.</p>
<p>- Five Tundra drivers are among the top-10 in the unofficial point standings &#8212; Skinner (third), Bodine (fourth), Scott (fifth),<br />
Peters (seventh) and Starr (ninth) &#8211; with four races remaining in the 2009 season.</p>
<p><strong>TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:  </strong> 1st</p>
<p><strong>How does it feel to get your first truck series victory at your home track?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Words can&#8217;t describe what I&#8217;m going through right now.  These two guys up here &#8212; Tom DeLoach (team owner) for<br />
believing in me and giving me an opportunity.  Chad Kendrick (crew chief) for sticking with me when neither one of us knew<br />
what would happen in our future.  Chip Lofton with <a href="http://www.Strutmasters.com">Strutmasters.com</a>.  Mike Smith (track public relations) and Clay Campbell (track president) &#8212; I can&#8217;t say enough about these guys for the show that they put on not only for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series here at Martinsville Speedway but the Balley&#8217;s 300 also, a Late Model stock race.  It&#8217;s been bitter sweet &#8212; a long time coming.  This was is for my dad.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you worried that you would run out of fuel?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I was a little worried about that in the beginning.  What a great call Chad (Kendrick) made at the beginning to come down pit<br />
road to get tires.  We were just so loose on forward bite on the beginning of the run in this <a href="http://www.Strutmasters.com">Strutmasters.com</a>, Red Horse<br />
Racing Toyota Tundra.  I can&#8217;t thank these guys enough.  Everybody involved with us.  The No. 1 was number one today.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What were you thinking the last few laps?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The last 10 laps, I was saying my prayers.  &#8216;C&#8217;mon Lord, let&#8217;s go 10 laps.&#8217;  Thank the Lord above.  This right here is<br />
awesome to win at Martinsville for my Dad, who I lost in (2001).  I have a lot of memories right here.  I&#8217;m speechless.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you feel anything special this morning that made you think you could win?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s nothing out of the ordinary other than I wanted to race today really bad because I knew in race trim we had a real good<br />
truck.  We were just a little too free in qualifying and didn&#8217;t get the starting position that we like, but again, the beginning of<br />
the race, we were just a little too free as far as our drive off.  We came down pit road somewhat out of sequence.  Chad made<br />
great calls.  Nothing is any different.  I got up and put my clothes on the same way I do every day.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What did it mean to have veteran drivers congratulate you in victory lane?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I had Todd (Bodine) and Ron (Hornaday) come up.  I thought I was going to have a heart attack from that cold Gatorade he<br />
dumped on me.  Terry Cook, Stacy Compton, all the guys that have had success in this sport, especially Todd and Ron with<br />
their championships &#8212; it&#8217;s an awesome feeling.  Tom (DeLoach) talked about the last time that he had been victory lane was<br />
&#8217;06, and the last time I was in victory lane was &#8217;05 and it was here.  It feels great to be in victory lane.  Four years is a long<br />
time, especially when you come off Saturday night short tracks and you&#8217;re used to winning week in and week out.  We knew<br />
we had to get the respect of these guys because they&#8217;re professionals.  Hopefully they see that with us.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>CHAD KENDRICK, crew chief, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>What were your thoughts in the final laps of the race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Since Vegas this race right here &#8211; I have a calendar in my office and this race was marked.  So as soon as Vegas as over<br />
our thought concentration and everything went into this race.  We went and tested and tested and went to the seven-post and<br />
we put a lot of effort.  We also put a lot of effort into the fuel because we were here in the spring and was running fifth with<br />
eight to go and ran out.  So we sat down and we looked at it and looked at it and in practice we probably spent just as much<br />
time on the fuel mileage stuff as we did getting the truck prepared to win.  </p>
<p>When the race started the truck was actually a lot<br />
freer than I anticipated it being and it was almost to the point where I could visually see that he (Timothy Peters) didn&#8217;t<br />
have a truck to win at the front of the race and he was telling me that he didn&#8217;t have a truck to win at the front of the race.<br />
When that caution fell we had planned from the set of the race that we were going to do one stop and we knew we could go<br />
all the way so when that caution came out it kind of came out exactly where we kind of planned.  </p>
<p>Came down pit road, took<br />
the four tires, came back for fuel and made some big swings at it and was just hoping it was going to be enough.  When he<br />
fired off back racing he was running his fastest time like every tenth lap.  I knew we had a good truck.  At this point it was<br />
just a little tight off but it was free rolling the center better than any truck here and I could see that so I told Timothy<br />
(Peters), &#8216;If you take your time and get to the lead I really feel confident we could win this thing.&#8217;  He did the rest.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TOM DeLOACH, team owner, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>How happy are you for your race team?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m thrilled with these guys.  It was a real pleasure for me to get to know Timothy (Peters), get to see the passion and the<br />
drive in this guy.  Many of you don&#8217;t know &#8212; Timothy comes down to our shop every day.  He is there in the shop every<br />
day working on his truck and T.J.&#8217;s (Bell) truck.  You don&#8217;t see that in drivers today.  You tell me any other driver that is<br />
going into any shop and participating with the guys building those trucks.  It doesn&#8217;t exist and that&#8217;s what is so special about<br />
this guy.  He can get out there, he can get up on the wheel, he can race hard but he&#8217;s one of the team.  </p>
<p>And you keep saying there&#8217;s no I in team, well there&#8217;s a little bit of me in team and Timothy (Peters) is the me in that team.  He gets out there and he gets it done.  He works together with these guys.  He and Chad (Kendrick) have a special relationship.  Sometimes you hear them fussing at each other and you think it&#8217;s two brothers about to get in a fight but that&#8217;s just the way it is.  They<br />
communicate that way and it works and you see the relationship and it&#8217;s just really pleasing to me to see this thing kind of<br />
come to fruition at a track like this.  We were here in 2006 with David Starr.  It was a thrilling time then and I&#8217;ve got to tell<br />
you, there&#8217;s something about a win &#8212; you go three years because you&#8217;re looking for that next win &#8211; and when I ran into this<br />
guy I knew we&#8217;d get a win.  The question was when not where.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 2nd</p>
<p><strong>How was your race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was pretty good.  We struggled a little bit in practice.  Of course the first practice was shortened. (Mike Hillman) Jr. (crew<br />
chief) made some really good calls and made some good calls there at the second practice and we adjusted during the race and<br />
got pretty good.  Got a little track position, saved some fuel.  The Lumber Liquidators Tundra was decent.  I tell you, though,<br />
for Timmy (Peters).  He&#8217;s such a good racer and such a good kid.  It&#8217;s about time he gets to victory lane.  One other thing I<br />
want to say is that the pink helmet I had for breast cancer awareness month pay attention to EBay because it&#8217;s going to go on<br />
there after Talladega.  We&#8217;re trying to raise money for a great cause.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How did your truck handle during the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We had a great Tundra.  This Lumber Liquidators Tundra was really good.  We struggled a little the first practice.  We got<br />
the thing to turn through the middle of the corner.  That&#8217;s what you&#8217;ve got to have at Martinsville.  Be able to turn and get<br />
good forward bite and we were.  At the end of the race we got a little tight in the middle.  I had to use it up a little more than I<br />
wanted to coming through traffic.  When Ron (Hornaday) and (Mike) Skinner and those guys got behind me I knew I had to<br />
go then.  I couldn&#8217;t wait and I burned it up a little bit.  It was a great day.  A top-five here from what we we&#8217;ve had this year,<br />
we&#8217;ll take it and go with it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you feel like you had a race-winning truck today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really tickled to see Timmy (Peters) win.  He&#8217;s such a good kid.  He&#8217;s a great racer. I had a good Lumber Liquidators<br />
Tundra.  I had to use it up a little more than I wanted coming back through the pack.  I was doing pretty good taking my time.<br />
Ron (Hornaday) and Mike (Skinner) and those guys got up behind me and then I had to go and I had to use it up and beat the<br />
right-front up a little more than I wanted to.  We got to the end barely.  I think another 10 laps and Colin (Braun) probably<br />
would&#8217;ve got us but we had a good run.  The guys worked hard.  We weren&#8217;t that good in the first practice but we made some<br />
great changes for the second one and we dialed it in fairly good.  We didn&#8217;t know what we had.  We made a couple changes<br />
for the race.  It was a pretty good day all in all.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What was the difference today compared to finishes at Martinsville in the past?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Better luck.  We ran really well in the spring.  I think we were running second and got a flat tire, had to go to the back, came<br />
all the way to fourth with the green-white checker and got spun out going into three on the last lap and crashed.  We&#8217;ve had a<br />
lot of bad luck here but we&#8217;ve run really well too.  We just came up a little short again.  You&#8217;re right.  The family legacy here,<br />
I&#8217;ve got to get a grandfather clock before I&#8217;m done that&#8217;s for sure to be the only three brothers to ever win here.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>DENNY HAMLIN, No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  6th</p>
<p><strong>DAVID STARR, No. 24 Zachry Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 8th</p>
<p><strong>TERRY COOK, No. 25 Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 10th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The Harris Trucking Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra was pretty good all day.  This is probably one of the better trucks<br />
we&#8217;ve ever had here at Martinsville.  Worked track position early but then we realized the competition was coming and it<br />
was time to get tires.  And probably waited just a tick too long to get tires and lost some track position.  We had a problem<br />
with the brakes at the beginning.  We were just trying to be a little aggressive with our brake package and overheated the<br />
brakes early which coincidentally late in the race made the brakes work night quite as good.  This is probably one of the<br />
better trucks that we&#8217;ve ever had here and this team has been in a little bit of a slump for the past five or six weeks so we<br />
wanted to come out here with a solid top-10 finish, we got it and it&#8217;s on to Talladega.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 15 Graceway Pharmaceuticals / AKawareness.com Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 12th</p>
<p><strong>STACY COMPTON, No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance / Melling Engine Parts Toyota Tundra, Wyler Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 14th</p>
<p><strong>MAX PAPIS, No. 13 GEICO Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TOYOTA NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS)</p>
<p>Post-Qualifying Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>Martinsville Speedway &#8211; October 23, 2009</p>
<p>NOTE:  Mike Skinner recorded his 50th career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) pole Friday afternoon at<br />
Martinsville Speedway.  He will make his 200th NCWTS start Saturday at the half-mile speedway.</p>
<p>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 PC Miler Navigator Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 1st</p>
<p><strong>What does it mean to have your 200th Truck Series start at Martinsville?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I ran my very first Sprint Cup race here at Martinsville.  I won a big Late Model race up here.  I have a lot of great<br />
memories up here.  It&#8217;s kind of cool that it worked out that our 200th start will end up at Martinsville.  I love this place.  It&#8217;s<br />
definitely a top-five race track that I love to race on.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Do you think this truck is capable of winning Saturday&#8217;s race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I think the truck is good.  Us and (Kevin) Harvick, and four or five other guys that are really, really good.  If we have a<br />
good pit stop and nothing crazy happens to us, I think we have a chance.  I think we have a good chance to win.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you happy with your qualifying run?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I really felt like I did not get the truck in the corner as good as I had done earlier and I really didn&#8217;t expect it to hold up but it<br />
did.  The truck is really, really awesome.  It&#8217;s really awesome in race trim.  It&#8217;s the Iowa truck that we ran at Iowa.  PC Miler<br />
Navigator is on board with us again this weekend and it&#8217;s kind of a milestone for us.  The 200th start deal is really no big<br />
deal.  We left the series in 1997 and never came back until 2004.  We ran a race here and there.  I don&#8217;t regret going and<br />
running in the Sprint Cup Series all of those years.  I had a lot of fun and had some success but I sure loving these trucks and I<br />
love running this Toyota truck.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>DENNY HAMLIN, No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 4th</p>
<p><strong>BRIAN SCOTT, No. 16 Albertsons Toyota Tundra, Xpress Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  5th</p>
<p><strong>How was your qualifying lap?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s rough going first, and I&#8217;m on a streak here.  In the spring, I had to qualify first as well.  It&#8217;s definitely not an advantage to<br />
have to go that early, but I felt like we put together a pretty decent run considering.  Jeff Hensley and the guys really did an<br />
awesome job and I hope I can get a win for Toyota and get them closer to clinching that manufacturer&#8217;s championship.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>STACY COMPTON, No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance/Melling Engine Parts Toyota Tundra, Wyler Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 6th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with your qualifying effort?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I was pleased with it.  This SafeAuto/Melling Toyota was good in practice.  The best it drove.  When I ran a lap, I asked<br />
how it was and I didn&#8217;t know what to expect.  The truck has been good since we got here.  This place has always been so<br />
good to us.  It&#8217;s sort of a home town race for me.  This one means a lot to come up here and run good.  I&#8217;m pretty excited<br />
about the race.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  8th</p>
<p><strong>How is your truck and how do you think weather might affect the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re okay.  We&#8217;re not stellar by any means, just okay.  It is what it is.  We got what we got.  If we have to race after the<br />
Cup cars, the track is going to be really rubbered up and slick.  The best balanced truck will be at the front.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 One Eighty Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 10th</p>
<p><strong>TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 11th</p>
<p><strong>How was your truck in practice and qualifying?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;In race trim, we have a really good Strutmasters.com Toyota.  In qualifying trim, we thought we had it there but we missed<br />
it.  It&#8217;s frustrating because obviously track position means the world here.  We&#8217;ll take what we got and hopefully at the<br />
checkered flag tomorrow, we&#8217;ll be number one.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What does this race mean to you growing up so close to Martinsville?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;This race means the world to me, just because it&#8217;s 20 minutes from home and I have had a lot of success up here.  I&#8217;m just<br />
frustrated a little bit because we should&#8217;ve been better than that.  I knew we were better than that.  But, they don&#8217;t pay<br />
anything to start, it&#8217;s where you finish.  We&#8217;ll be okay tomorrow.&#8221;</p>

<p>JAMES BUESCHER, No. 10 INTERNATIONAL MAXX FORCE DIESEL FORD:</strong>  “We were 11th in final practice but still thought we needed to get better and we got worse.  Didn’t go the right way, whatever we did.  We’ll see how it races.”  </p>
<p><strong>YOU HAD A RESPECTABLE RUN HERE IN THE SPRING. </strong> </p>
<p>“We ran okay here in the spring.  Still weren’t happy with that.  I guess I’m pretty hard in myself.  Hopefully it starts raining [smiles].”  </p>
<p><strong>IS THE TRUCK TIGHT OR LOOSE? </strong> </p>
<p>“What part of the track are you talking about? [laughs].  It’s all over the place.  It’s loose in then it gets tight then it’s loose in the center then it gets tight and then it’s loose off.  It kind of bounces back and forth all the way through the corner, just basically no grip.  Hopefully it gets better.”     </p>
<p><strong>JOHNNY SAUTER IN THE No. 13 FUN SAND/RODNEY ATKINS/CURB RECORDS CHEVROLET WAS THE TOP RAYBESTOS ROOKIE QUALIFIER AT MARTINSVILLE.</strong></p>
<p>- Sauter will start ninth in Saturday’s race at Martinsville.</p>
<p>- Sauter has qualified ninth or better in each of the last FIVE CONSECUTIVE races.</p>
<p>- Tayler Malsam earned the 10th-place starting position, giving the Raybestos Rookie class two starts among the top-10.</p>
<p><strong>SAUTER: </strong> “Extremely disappointed.  The thing handled really good, just didn’t have any forward traction.  I felt like we were a lot better than that.  That’s the way it is and we’ll go from here.”  </p>
<p><strong>DID THE TRACK CHANGE FROM PRACTICE TO QUALIFYING?</strong>  </p>
<p>“I’m sure it did.  It cooled off from what we practiced the last time.  When the sun comes out I bet ya the track temp goes up 15, 20 degrees.  That’s probably part of it.  Maybe we made bad adjustments, I’m not sure.”  </p>
<p><strong>HOW IS THE TRUCK IN RACE TRIM?  “</strong> I’d feel a lot better about it if I was starting in the top-five. It’ll be good.  This place here is patience, making sure that you make the right pit strategy.  Pit strategy here is what determines who wins this race.”</p>
<p><strong>SAUTER PRESS CONFERENCE  </p>
<p>COMMENT ON YOUR QUALIFYING RUN.</strong>  </p>
<p>“Actually I’m disappointed with our qualifying effort.  We just didn’t anticipate the racetrack cooling off or whatever and for whatever reason we lost forward traction.  Nonetheless we feel like we’ve got one of the top-five trucks here just going off lap tracker and things like that.  I definitely think the 5, Skinner and the 4 of Harvick are the two best trucks.  We’ve got decent track position we’ve just got to work on it and make sure we make the right calls tomorrow in the pits and get good track position and hopefully we’ll around at the end.”   </p>
<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 ONE-EIGHTY TOYOTA:  YOU GAINED TWO TENTHS OF A SECOND IN QUALIFYING FROM WHAT YOU RAN IN PRACTICE.</strong>  </p>
<p>“We didn’t do any qualifying mock-ups in practice so I think we’ll be good in race trim and I’ve got a good truck behind me.  We’ll just go on from there.”  </p>
<p><strong>TRACK POSITION HERE IS CRITICAL. </strong> </p>
<p>“Yeah, definitely, but I think we’ll be fine.  We raced here in the spring so I know a little bit about what goes down.  It’ll be a fun race that’s for sure.”  </p>
<p><strong>IS IT DIFFICULT TO PASS SOMEBODY WITHOUT KNOCKING THEM OUT OF THE WAY HERE?  </strong></p>
<p>“Yeah definitely especially when someone gets on your nerves, they don’t have patience.  It’ll be fun, it’ll be an exciting race for the fans and I’m looking forward to it.”      </p>

<p>Pre-Race Notes and Quotes</p>
<p>Martinsville Speedway</p>
<p>Kroger 200</p>
<p>October 24, 2009</p>
<p>MALSAM AT MARTINSVILLE:</strong> Tayler Malsam will be making his 23rd start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) when the green flag drops for the Kroger 200 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway Saturday afternoon. Malsam has made one start on the .526-mile concrete oval. He finished 14th after starting 18th in his No. 81 Randy Moss Motorsports Toyota Tundra earlier this season.</p>
<p><strong>MALSAM’S RIDE:</strong> Crew Chief Doug Wolcott and the No. 81 team are utilizing chassis RMM-107 for this weekend’s event. Though this is not the same truck that the team ran in the Martinsville Speedway event earlier this season, Malsam is accustomed to this ride, having been behind the wheel of this particular truck on four previous occasions, including the event at Gateway International Raceway where he earned the first top-five finish of his NCWTS career.</p>
<p><strong>PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT:</strong> Both Malsam and his teammate Mike Skinner tested their Toyota Tundras at Little Rock Speedway located in Rockingham, North Carolina on Monday, October 12th in preparation for this weekend’s event. Though the session was cut short by rain, the team was able to make several practice runs in the morning at the half-mile track.</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-thumbnail wp-image-3651" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/03/24/tayler-malsam-no-81-one-eighty-toyota-tundra-martinsville-speedway-preview/attachment/2009-ncwts-tayler-malsam/" rel="attachment wp-att-3651"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-tayler-malsam-150x150.jpg" alt="Tayler Malsam" title="Tayler Malsam" width="150" height="150" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-3651" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:150px;">Tayler Malsam</div></div><strong>MALSAM’S THOUGHTS ON MARTINSVILLE: </strong> “I’m looking forward to getting to Martinsville if for no other reason than to be returning to a track that we’ve already raced at this year. This will be the first time we’ve done that and I think that will really give our One Eighty Racing team a boost. I know that heading to a track that I’ve already run a truck at will take some of the pressure off of me when we get there. </p>
<p>There will not be as many unknowns and Doug (Wolcott – crew chief) will go in there already knowing what I like to feel from the truck and what we need to do to run well and get the most out of the weekend. It will give us the chance to spend more time working on qualifying and race setups in practice and less time just giving me a chance to become accustomed to the track. We are really hoping for big things in Martinsville. Our last few races have been a little disappointing all the way around, so we’re hopeful that Martinsville will give us a chance to finish the season off as strong as it started.”</p>
<p><strong>BRING YOUR SHARPIE:</strong> On behalf of Toyota, Tayler Malsam will be signing autographs for fans in the midway area of the track grounds at the Toyota PitPass display on Saturday, October 24 from 10-10:30 a.m. Many of his fellow Toyota drivers will also take part in the event.</p>
<p><strong>THE SEASON’S STATS:</strong> The No. 81 team has posted one top-five and 10 top-10 finishes in 20 events this season.  Malsam posted his best career finish at Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Ill., when he took the checkered flag in the fifth spot.  He currently holds down the 11th position in the driver points battle, sitting 26 markers outside the top 10.</p>
<p><strong>WATCH AND LISTEN:</strong>  Race coverage will be televised on SPEED and heard live on select affiliates of MRN Radio and Sirius-XM NASCAR Radio Channel 128, beginning at 1 p.m. (ET).</p>
<p><strong>POINT AND CLICK:</strong> Fans can continue to vote for their favorite driver for the Most Popular Driver Award through the end of October. The results of the online balloting will be announced at the NCWTS awards banquet at the end of the season. Visit <a href="http://www.nascar.com">www.nascar.com</a> for more details and to cast your vote for Tayler.</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>- 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>Finishing Position: </strong> 16th</p>
<p><strong>TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 17 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 19th</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><strong>THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS TEAM HAS REALLY PICKED UP IN THE LAST SIX RACES OR SO. </strong> “It has.  A lot of variables have played into the success becoming better.  I feel like we’ve worked on our stuff a little bit, gotten it a lot better.  Found some things that I liked, which has made it better.  A new crew chief has made it better.  Just a lot of things, a lot of ingredients to make us run better and quite frankly I see us getting better and better every week and hopefully we can continue to do that the rest of the season.”  </p>
<p><strong>COMMENT ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH TEAMMATE MATT CRAFTON. </strong> “We’ve leaned on those guys pretty hard, especially over the last two months.  We brought in Joe Shear and he’s leaned on Bud [Haefele, Crafton’s crew chief] and those guys pretty hard.  I think it’s made a huge impact and obviously it’s helped our program.  We’ve got a little bit of work to do.  I’ve said it all along, I might be a Raybestos Rookie in the truck series but we should be able to win races and I’ll be disappointed if we don’t.”  </p>
<p><strong>YOU FINISHED SECOND LAST WEEK AT GATEWAY.  WERE YOU PROUD OF THAT OR FRUSTRATED THAT YOU DID NOT WIN? </strong> </p>
<p>“There’s always a way around somebody, especially when you got your nose in there.  I think the precedent had been pretty much set if you did that what was going to happen so it wasn’t worth risking it.  I was disappointed in myself.  I mean I felt like I should have but that’s the Monday morning quarterback.  You sit there and go I should’ve done that.  Nonetheless it’s second-place and it’s the best finish that the 13 truck has had.  I got us up in the top-10 in points.  There’s a lot of positives but you know as a driver you always want more.  I’m here today and we’re top-10 in practice and you’re just not happy.  You just want more.”  </p>

<p>“I think it means a lot of the guys, obviously.  I’ve never won a rookie of the year in any form of NASCAR.  Like I’ve said all along I’ve had mixed emotions about being eligible but rules are rules and we are eligible so we might as well run for it.  If we could do that it’s just another feather in your cap.”  </p>
<p><strong>HOW DIFFERENT IS THE TRUCK HERE AT NEW HAMPSHIRE THAN THE CUP CAR OR NATIONWIDE CAR?</strong></p>
<p>“The Nationwide cars I haven’t ran here in quite a while, probably three, four years.  The Cup car obviously with the horsepower it’s just a different type of driving all together.  You’ve got more power, you’re going faster down the straightaways and you see ‘em use a lot more brake.  The trucks are more momentum type based so it’s a little bit different but just knowing the racetrack is a good feeling.”                </p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-5423" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/03/31/tayler-malsam-survives-first-martinsville-race-with-a-14th-place-finish/attachment/2009-ncwts-81-truck/" rel="attachment wp-att-5423"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-81-truck.jpg" alt="No. 81 One Eighty TOYOTA Tundra" title="No. 81 One Eighty TOYOTA Tundra" width="240" height="160" class="alignright size-full wp-image-5423" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:240px;">No. 81 One Eighty TOYOTA Tundra</div></div><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 ONE EIGHTY TOYOTA:  YOU AND JOHNNY SAUTER ARE HAVING A CLOSE BATTLE FOR RAYBESTOS ROOKIE OF THE YEAR.  YOU HAVEN’T MADE UP MUCH GROUND ON SAUTER.</strong>  </p>
<p>“It’s definitely hard to see that we’re not leading the Raybestos Rookie points because this team does such a good job.  I think we’ll beat ‘em.  We had two bad weeks there and he’ll have his bad weeks upcoming.  It’ll come down to the wire definitely.  I think we’ve got a better team than they do and I think we’ve got better trucks and we’ll be fine.”  </p>
<p><strong>HOW BIG WOULD IT BE TO EDGE OUT SAUTER AND WIN RAYBESTOS ROOKIE OF THE YEAR? </strong> </p>
<p>“Oh it’s huge, I mean, just knowing that we can beat a guy like Sauter who has been to all these places a million times and we’ve never been here before.  It’d be a big confidence booster going into next year for sure.”  </p>
<p><strong>WHAT IS THE BIGGEST THING THAT YOU’VE LEARNED SO FAR THIS SEASON? </strong> </p>
<p>“Take every track like a new one and then the whole aero package.  There’s just so many things I’ve learned.  It just all comes in second nature.  A big thing is patience.  Like last week, we stayed in there, hang in there and we had a top-five out of it and everyone wrecks out because they don’t have patience.  Still a lot of things to be learned and Doug [Wolcott, crew chief] and the team have done a very good job of helping me learn a lot of them.”  </p>

<p>“I figure when you’re on the track you don’t need to let your emotions show, just race.  When you get off the track you can go find the guy in the parking lot or something but I mean out there you’ve got people’s lives on the line and you’ve got to be careful.  I mean you’ve got a lot of money out there and everyone’s watching so you might as well have fun and drive hard and not do stupid things like what happened last weekend.  That’s how it should be and everyone should just deal with their emotions outside of the track.  We’ll see what happens this weekend.”  </p>
<p><strong>ARE YOU HAPPY WITH YOUR PERFORMANCE THIS YEAR?</strong>  </p>
<p>“Yeah definitely.  We’ve had like ten 10 top-10s in 18 races and that’s pretty good.  Skinner is doing awesome and he’s doing awesome helping me.  I think we’re having a really good year.  It’s challenging and more fun to be in a battle with Johnny.  It gives myself more motivation to do better.”  </p>
<p><strong>WHAT IS THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE MIKE SKINNER HAS GIVEN TO YOU?</strong>  </p>
<p>“Oh, he’s given me a lot.  He’s helped me out everywhere on lines to run and how this track is going to help this truck and everything.  He’s just been a big help.”  </p>
<p><strong>COMMENT ON RACING HERE AT NEW HAMPSHIRE.  </strong></p>
<p>“This place is tough.  It’s not as tough as last weekend but it’s a lot of fun because you can run more than one lane which is my type of racetrack.  We’ve got a really good truck I think and we’ll se what happens.”   </p>
