So Many are Racing Close to Home: This weekend, the NASCAR Busch Series (NBS) will be racing in the backyard of many team members’ hometowns, including five members of the No. 41 Memorex team. Crew chief Brad Parrott is originally from Harrisburg; team engineer Ross Fletcher is originally from Lincolnton, rear tire carrier Evan Clark is originally from Mt. Pleasant; gas man Keith Montgomery is originally from Burlington; and pit supporter Jody Hall hails from Concord.

Get their autographs this week: Bryan Clauson, along with his fellow Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) drivers Juan Pablo Montoya, Reed Sorenson, David Stremme and Memos Rojas (Grand-Am), will be taking a couple hours out of their fast-pace schedules on Friday, October 12, to stop by the CGRFS Concord, N.C., race shop to meet fans and sign autographs. The two-hour driver autograph session is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. and will run through 1 p.m. ET. Reservations are required.

Standings Update: The No. 41 Memorex team is still 17h in the overall NBS owner ranks, with a current tally of 3,083. The team is 66 points away from the 15th spot and 210 points out of the top 10.

Chassis: Crew chief Brad Parrott and the No. 41 Memorex team are taking chassis #454 to Lowe’s Motor Speedway this weekend. The car has had two fair runs this year. First, at Richmond International Raceway in May, Juan Pablo Montoya and team started and finished their run in 11th place. Then, CGRFS development driver Kevin Hamlin and team overcame a tight-handling condition and a late-race tap at the Milwaukee Mile to pull off a 16th-place finish (started 22nd) in June.
