Fast Facts - Kansas
Fast Facts: -The Con-way Freight team will be racing chassis RK-45 in Kansas. It last ran at Atlanta where Braun finished 28th after a flat tire. He also earned his first top 10 with this truck at California. -Braun has no prior starts at Kansas, but he did make about 40 laps in an ARCA car during testing earlier this month. -Braun is currently 20th in the point standings, but only 91 points out of 10th place. -Braun is fourth in the Raybestos Rookie standings, but only four points out of first. -Braun captured his first career Nationwide pole last weekend at the road course in Mexico City. Colin Braun on racing at Kansas Speedway: "I haven't raced at Kansas yet, but I was able to run about 40 laps there during an ARCA test a few weeks ago. It's a really nice track and I think it will be a lot of fun to race there. We had a good run at our first 1.5-mile track, Atlanta, but our results don't show it. If we can keep air in all the tires this time we should have a pretty good finish. Mike (Beam) and the guys always give me fast trucks, and this one we're taking to Kansas was fast at California and Atlanta. I know there have been a lot of first-time winners at Kansas and I'd like to add my name to that list." Crew Chief Mike Beam on racing at Kansas Speedway: "This truck has been fast everywhere we've taken it so far this year. We got a top 10 with it in California, and could have had a great finish in Atlanta if we wouldn't have had to pit under green for a flat tire. I'm anxious to see what we can do with it in Kansas this weekend. Colin picks up new tracks pretty quickly so I expect at least another top-10 run if everything goes according to plan." |
