Braun on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“This will be my first race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway and I’m
excited to race there. I am going to get some laps on the track this
week at the Nationwide test so that will be great to kind of figure out
the track before I get in the truck on Friday. I’ve talked to some of
my Roush Fenway teammates about getting around Lowe’s and they’ve
been really helpful too.

“Everyone on this Con-way Freight team always wants to finish well,
but considering this is home for everyone on the team it would be great
to get another top-five finish. We’re leading the rookie points now
and I want to keep my lead, and move up in the overall driver points
with strong finishes every week.”

Crew chief Mike Beam on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“We’re taking the same truck we raced in Fontana, Atlanta and most
recently Kansas. After Kansas we put new quarterpanels on both sides
and a new nose since it had some damage. It had great numbers in the
wind tunnel, even better than before. We just need to run a smart race
Friday night and not beat ourselves.”

Colin Braun Fast Facts:
-Braun has no prior starts at Lowe’s, but he is participating in
Nationwide testing this week to gain some track time.
-With his third-place finish in Kansas, Braun took the lead in the
Raybestos Rookie standings. He now has a five-point lead.
-Braun is currently 16th in the overall point standings, but only 54
points out of 10th place.
