David Stremme and the No. 40 St. Jude Dodge Team Facts:
No Place Like St. Jude: Coors Light, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and CGRFS are teaming up this weekend as the No. 40 Coors Light Dodge driven by David Stremme will be wrapped with a special St. Jude paint scheme for this weekend’s Pep Boys Auto 500. The purpose of the paint scheme is to increase awareness of the hospital and its work as well as to support Coors Light’s yearly pumpkin-themed “Halloween Pinups” fundraiser. Coors Light will make a $10,000 base donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital on race weekend, with an incremental donation for every lap Stremme completes in the race. Since 1997, Chip Ganassi Racing Teams, Inc. has raised more than $440,000 for St. Jude Hospital and Target House by donating $5,000 for each victory, $1,000 for each pole position and $25 for each lap led.
Chassis: Crew chief Steve Lane and the Coors Light team have selected chassis #710 for the Pep Boys Auto 500 this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The team ran this car at the two-day Charlotte Test in early May when Stremme was second on the time sheets the first day and first overall on the second day of testing and again at California Speedway in September.
When to Watch: The green flag is set to wave this Sunday, October 28th at 1 p.m. E.T. The Pep Boys Auto 500 will broadcast live from Atlanta Motor Speedway in Atlanta, Ga., on ABC, MRN radio, and Sirius Satellite Radio channel 128.
