History at Memphis: Michael Ritch and the #55 Kleenex crew visited Memphis last year for the inaugural running of the Sam’s Town 250. The team qualified for the 250-lap event in 25th position. Ritch and the Kleenex crew worked their way to 9th position with 30 laps to go, but were caught in an accident which relegated the team to the 37th finishing position.
The Machine: The #55 Kleenex crew will bring DW-3 to Memphis this weekend. DW-3 has seen action at Milwaukee and Nazareth this year. At Milwaukee Ritch brought the car across the line unscathed in the 16th position, but was an innocent victim with this car in an incident at Nazareth which brought the team’s run to an early finish in the 43rd spot. Michael Ritch on Memphis Motorsports Park: “We're anxious to go to Memphis. This track is really my kind of track. It is pretty short and very flat, which is the kind of track I enjoy most. We have a shot at doing really well here. Last year we came here and qualified 25th and moved up all day. We were running in 9th position with about 30 laps to go when we got caught up in an accident. If we can stay out of trouble we can have a good run this weekend. We're looking to have a good qualifying run to set up a strong run in the race for this Kleenex team." Michael’s Career at Memphis Races Started Finish Money Won 1 25 37 $11,650
