Runnin’ Hot at Talladega: DirecTV “Hot Pass” will feature the No. 40 Wrigley’s Winterfresh team on Sunday, as David Stremme and crew race the high banks of Talladega Superspeedway. They will be one of five teams featured on “Hot Pass.” Subscribers can watch all of the action from the No. 40 car and pit area on DirecTV channel 797.
Winterfresh to Race on Sunday: Wrigley’s Winterfresh brand, which made its NASCAR Busch Series debut earlier this month at Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, Tenn., and was carried on board the No. 41 CGRFS Busch Dodge this past weekend at PIR in Avondale, Ariz., will be making its NASCAR NEXTEL Cup debut this upcoming Sunday on the No. 40 CGRFS Dodge.
Turning it around: After a disappointing finish in Phoenix, Stremme gets behind the wheel of the Wrigley’s Winterfresh car for the first time in NEXTEL NASCAR Cup competition. He has run the Wrigley’s Winterfresh-sponsored car twice this season, scoring a pole position (Nashville) and two 11th place results.
Busch Series Successes: David Stremme and the No. 41 Wrigley’s team scored another solid 11th-place finish last weekend at Phoenix International Raceway (PIR), which gave the team another nice lift up—six positions total—in the overall point standings. The Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) Busch team is now 25th in the overall rundown with a running tally of 821, just 121 points out of 10th place.
