Goess Heads to the Buckeye State for the Mansfield 150

Wednesday August 20, 2008

 

Denver, NC. (August 20, 2008) – Craig Goess and his Greenville-Toyota team travel to Mansfield, Ohio this weekend for the Mansfield 150. Goess, who stepped aside and let ESR teammate and ARCA RE/MAX Series driver Justin Lofton pilot the No. 2 Toyota at last weekend’s Lime Rock road course event, is anxious to get back behind the wheel at the 0.5-mile asphalt speedway.

“I’m really looking forward to getting back on track this weekend,” said Goess. “We have had a great run the last couple of races and are looking to capitalize on the momentum.”

Goess and the No. 2 Greenville-Toyota team enter this weekend with great momentum following his career best start and finish on a short-track this season, starting tenth and finishing ninth at Nashville’s Music City Motorplex and a top 15 at Adirondack International Speedway.

“The car that the team is bringing is my No. 2 Greenville-Toyota Toyota Camry from Nashville and Adirondack,” commented Goess. “It is a great car and the guys have really been able to get it dialed in for me at the track. I think we will be very competitive in it again.”

NASCAR Camping World Series East practice runs from 10:40 a.m. until 12:10 p.m. on Saturday, August 23, 2008. Qualifying follows on Saturday at 1:40 p.m. Drivers will meet with fans and sign autographs at 3:00 p.m. and the green flag for the 75-mile Mansfield 150 drops at 5:30 p.m. All times listed are EASTERN.
