Stremme said: “We all went to Vegas and tested back in February and feel good about going there to race. So far in the Busch Series I’ve always managed to have good, solid runs out there and come close a few times to winning. We had a very fast car in those recent test sessions and we’re taking that car with us, so it’s shaping up to be a great weekend. The track is fast and who doesn’t love going to Las Vegas?”

Wolfe said: “David has run a few NASCAR Busch Series races in Vegas and has an average finish of 3rd place, so that’s something we’re definitely building upon. He runs exceptionally well there and this car we’re taking was very fast in testing and California, so we’re really pumped up as a team about racing. Las Vegas is a fun place to visit and race. We hope to give Supercuts/Family Dollar a big win out there”

NASCAR NOTE: In February NASCAR announced when the Busch Series returns to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March, they are required to use a smaller fuel cell, down from 22 gallon to 13 gallon. This will affect pit strategy.
