David Stremme and the No. 40 Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit Dodge Team Facts:
First Time for Everything: Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit made its presence known in the NASCAR Busch Series this season with CGRFS drivers Reed Sorenson and Scott Pruett, but now it’s on to the big leagues for the debut in the NEXTEL Cup series. This weekend David Stremme will take to the track rocking a new paint scheme in the signature yellow Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit Dodge. Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit has been on board this season for nearly 20 NBS races with the No. 41 Dodge. The No. 41 Dodge captured one win at Gateway International Raceway, two top-5 finishes, four top 10 finishes and one pole.
