Dr Pepper and Carroll Racing are Sending Grubb to California

Denver, NC – Kevin Grubb will be packing his bags and heading out west for the Auto Club 300 on April 26 to drive the #90 Diet Dr Pepper Dodge. Dr Pepper and Carroll Racing have decided to enter a second car at the California Speedway in addition to the #26 Dr Pepper Dodge that will be piloted by Lance Norick.

Kevin currently resides in 12th place of the Drivers’ Points Standings with only a 25-point gap from the Top-10. This is one of the best positions that either Dr Pepper Racing or Carroll Racing has been in for the Points Race at this point of the season. “Kevin has been doing a great job for us behind the wheel of the #26 Dr Pepper Dodge and we feel that we have to keep the momentum rolling and try to jump into that Top-10,” commented Cindi Clark, Dr Pepper Sr. Vice President-Marketing.

This is the second time that Carroll Racing and Dr Pepper have teamed up to field the Duo of Dr Pepper, a Dr Pepper car and a Diet Dr Pepper car. At Daytona in 2001, Carroll Racing and Dr Pepper teamed up with the father-son combo of Bobby Hamilton and Bobby Hamilton Jr. to drive the entries.

There are ten races this season where Kevin is not scheduled to pilot the #26 Dr Pepper Dodge, however efforts are still underway by Carroll Racing to secure him a ride for those races.
