NOTES & QUOTES
Kluever is currently 16th in the Busch Series point standings. He has gained seven positions in the last six weeks.

This will be Kluever's first start at Chicagoland Speedway.
Kluever will also be making his NEXTEL Cup debut this weekend at Chicagoland.
The No. 06 Ford Fusion will have a special Post-it paint scheme this weekend.
Todd Kluever on Chicago:
"I'm really looking forward to the race at Chicago this weekend. It will be the first time I've raced there, but I've heard a lot of good things about the track from my teammates. We're taking the same car that finished ninth at Lowe's in May so we're excited about that and hope it runs as well as it did. We've also got the Post-it logos on our car this week which is something different for us.
"I'll also be attempting my first NEXTEL Cup start this weekend which is pretty cool. I tested at Kentucky a few weeks ago and our test went great so I'm hoping everything will go well. It's going to be a big weekend for me and it's close to home so there will be a lot of my friends and family there to support me."
Crew Chief Mike Kelley on racing at Chicagoland Speedway:
“Todd has never been to Chicagoland, but his experience on the other mile and a half tracks should make it easy for him to figure out. The car we are taking was great at Lowe’s in May so we expect it to run just as well this weekend.”
