Colin Braun ORP Truck Fast Facts
Tuesday July 22, 2008
Colin Braun – NCTS ADVANCE
Team: No. 6 Con-way Freight Ford F-150
Crew Chief: Mike Beam
Chassis: RK-55 Last outing: Milwaukee in June
– finished 31st after an accident
Braun, NCTS at O’Reilly Raceway Park:
Date Event S F Laps Led Status Money
No prior starts
Braun on racing at ORP:
“I’ve never raced at ORP before, but it looks like a cool track and
I know a lot of drivers say it’s a fun place to race. I’ll have
Bobby East as a teammate this weekend and he knows ORP as well as anyone
from all his USAC experience, so I’ll probably be asking him for
advice this weekend. We’re still working on putting all the elements
together for a strong run. We had some trouble in the pits at Kentucky
and the handling of the truck still wasn’t quite where it needs to be,
and of course I’m still learning too. I’ll be running the
Nationwide race as well on Saturday so it will be a full weekend of
racing for me.”
Crew chief Mike Beam on racing at ORP:
“We’re taking the same truck Colin ran at Milwaukee. The front end
got tore up there so we’ve done some work to it for ORP. My goal is
to get the handling close enough on these trucks that we don’t have to
do a lot of adjustments in the pits other than air pressure. We’ve
lost some time in the pits lately so we’re working on that and I know
this team will get better every week.”
Fast Facts:
-Braun continues to lead the Raybestos Rookie standings. He now has a
16-point lead over second-place driver Donny Lia.
-Braun is 15th in the overall driver point standings. He has one
top-five and four top-10 finishes this season.
-Braun will also compete in the Nationwide Series race at ORP on
Saturday. He will drive the No. 16 CitiFinancial Ford Fusion.
Do you want the chance to win a free Frontstretch T-Shirt, and are you really good at talking about NASCAR? Well, we have the perfect opportunity for you. Our staff will be giving away a free T-Shirt to the reader who makes the best post in our Frontstretch Forum between now and the end of the season. So, what makes a good post? It’s pretty hard to impress us, but here are some things we are looking for:
Does your post spark passionate reactions from other readers? Are you commenting on meaningful NASCAR-related events? Do your posts have substance? In other words, “Dale Jr. is the best driver ever” or “Danica Patrick is hot” will not cut it.
So go to the Frontstretch Forums, post early, post often, and post well! We’ll announce the winner following the final race of the season at Homestead.
