Lofton Ready for Kentucky Debut
Thursday May 8, 2008
DENVER, N.C. (May 8, 2008) – Justin Lofton and the Lofton Cattle team head to Kentucky Speedway this weekend for the Drive Smart! Buckle Up 150. Looking to rebound from a disappointing run at Rockingham, the Lofton Cattle team is anxious to return to a mile and a half speedway where the Eddie Sharp Racing organization has had plenty of success.
“The No. 20 Lofton Cattle Dodge should be really strong this weekend,” said Lofton. “I think we have had enough bad luck since the season started. We are due for a turn-around. Our qualifying effort at Rockingham was definitely the quality of runs that is expected out of this team. Now, we just need to get the finishes to complete the package.”
This weekend marks the first event that the team will be running a car for the second time this season. Applying some “lessons learned”, the Lofton Cattle team is ready to “Buckle Up” and run up front at Kentucky Speedway. This is Lofton’s first career start at the 1.5-mile paved tri-oval.
ARCA RE/MAX Series practice runs from 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 10, 2008. SIM Factory Pole Qualifying will follow at 3:30 p.m. Driver Introductions begin Saturday evening at 7:40 p.m. and the green flag for the Drive Smart! Buckle Up 150 at Kentucky Speedway drops at 8:00 p.m. All times listed are EASTERN.

JUSTIN LOFTON QUICK FACTS:
2008 ARCA RE/MAX Series Stats:
Best Start: third at Rockingham Speedway, May 2008
Best Finish: 12th at Kansas Speedway, April 2008
Notes of Interest:
Eddie Sharp Racing is bringing car #614 to the Kentucky Speedway. This Dodge Charger was last seen on-track at Kansas Speedway, where Lofton earned his best ARCA RE/MAX finish thus far.
This weekend marks the first time that the team has ‘repeated’ with a car. They are looking forward to applying previous experience with this car to better the start and finish.
First career start at Kentucky Speedway. Lofton made 1.5-mile track debut at Kansas Speedway in April 2008 where Lofton qualified 10th and finished 12th.
