Driver Jason Leffler on Signing with Braun Racing for the 2006 Season:
“There was never really any question. I knew right away this is where I wanted to be. (Crew Chief) Todd Lohse and (Owner) Todd Braun put me in a car that has the ability to run up front and win every week, combine that with how well everyone gets along and how hard the guys back in the shop work, to me that’s what it is all about. As a racer you can’t ask for anything more. In the end, it was really an easy decision to make. My focus now is finishing this season strong, then setting our sights on the 2006 Championship.”
Ft. McDowell’s President Bear on the New Partnership with Braun Racing:
“This NASCAR racing series enjoys enormous popularity. In the past 25 years, attendance at stock car races has skyrocketed, making it the largest spectator sport in America. Television viewership has grown right along with race attendance, and we are proud to be among the series’ sponsors, with our sponsorship of Jason Leffler’s # 32 Braun Racing Chevrolet. The nation’s involvement with the NASCAR Busch series and Braun Racing will provide us with significant visibility with both race attendees and television viewers.”
