Reed Sorenson and the No. 41 Target Dodge Team Facts:
Testing 1,2,3: Sorenson, along with his Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) teammates and practically every other NEXTEL Cup Series team tested at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Jan. 29 & 30.
Looking for a little luck in Vegas: Sorenson and crew are hoping for a little better luck this season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. In last year’s event, Sorenson cut a tire on lap 41 and made heavy contact with the wall. After repairs, Sorenson returned to the track many laps down to finish 40th. Prior to the wreck he was one of the fastest cars on the track, racing from his 36th-place starting position up to 22nd.
Points Report: Reed Sorenson and the Target team dropped from 12th to 30th position in the overall standings after being eliminated on lap seven in the last race at California Speedway. The team is only 33 points out of the top 20 and 78 out of the top 10.
Chassis: Crew chief Jimmy Elledge and the Target team have selected chassis #701 for this weekend’s NEXTEL Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This is a new car from the No. 40 Coors Light team’s stable, however, Sorenson did make a few laps in the car during the January testing session at the 1.5-mile speedway.
