The team will continue to operate as Braun Racing for the remainder of the 2010 season.

Sorenson on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:

“Texas Motor Speedway is a wide track with multiple grooves that allows you to move your car around to find where it works the best. The biggest thing at Texas is to still be there at the end of the race. It’s a fast track and the racing is bumper-to-bumper, so staying out of trouble is the key. You can be sure that the racing will get dicey in the final laps as everyone who stayed clean all race, tries to get the win.”

Sorenson on returning to Texas with the Dollar General team:

“As we’re winding down the season, I think as a team, we are working well together. Our communication is good and our pit crew is consistent. I’m looking forward to heading back to Texas with these guys. We had a solid Nationwide Series car there in April and we’re bringing that same one back this weekend. We’ve had a lot of success with this particular car. It has become ‘old reliable’ in our stable of Dollar General Toyotas so hopefully we can put it into Victory Lane this weekend before these cars become obsolete next year as we start racing the ‘New Car’ full-time.”

Nationwide Series Driver Points Position – 17th (after 32 of 35 races)

No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing News and Notes Heading Into Texas:

The Driver…Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who leads the Raybestos Rookie of the Year standings by five points, will make his second NASCAR Nationwide Series start Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday. In April, Stenhouse started 5th and finished 29th.

The Organization…Roush Fenway Racing has four wins, 20 top fives and 34 top 10s in 57 Nationwide Series starts at TMS. Stenhouse joins teammates Carl Edwards, Paul Menard, Trevor Bayne and Colin Braun in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge on Saturday afternoon.

The Machine…Stenhouse’s Ford Fusion will carry the familiar red, blue and silver colors of CitiFinancial again this weekend. CitiFinancial is the primary sponsor for 24 races in 2010 with Stenhouse. The team will use chassis #RK-378 at Texas. Stenhouse raced this chassis three times in 2010, most recently in October at Kansas Speedway where he started 18th and finished 6th.

On Air…The O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge can be seen live on Saturday, Nov. 6, 2010 on ESPN with coverage beginning at 1:00 p.m. EDT. The event can also be heard live on PRN affiliates beginning at 1:00 p.m. EDT.

Now Appearing…Stenhouse will be at the CitiFinancial Branch on 2430 S. Interstate 35 E #182 Denton, TX 76205 on Thursday, Nov. 4, 2010 from 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. local time. This appearance is open to the public.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:

“I can’t wait to get to Texas this weekend. The last time we were there, we had a fast car. We qualified in the top five and had a solid run going until we were a victim of someone else’s mistake. Texas is super fast and I am confident we’ll have a great car for the race. We are taking the same car we finished sixth in a few weeks ago at Kansas Speedway, so it’s a proven piece. We have been running well lately and the fact that I have experience on the track, makes this entire CitiFinancial team excited about the weekend.”

Crew Chief Mike Kelley on racing at Texas Motor Speedway:

“The Texas Motor Speedway is fast. We haven’t been able to pull off a win there as a company in a couple of years so we’re due. We’ve really worked hard lately on a new program for the mile and a half tracks. We had a fast car back in the spring at Texas and we’re looking forward to see what happens this weekend. Like I said, it’s a fast race track and it will lend itself to Ricky’s driving style. We showed we were fast at Charlotte and Atlanta over the last couple of months so Texas is going to be fun.”

Erik Darnell – NNS ADVANCE
Team:        No. 16 3M/ACE Brand Ford Fusion
Race:        O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge
Crew Chief:        Chad Norris
Chassis:        RK- 354
       
FAST FACTS: DARNELL MAKES FIRST SERIES START AT TEXAS – While it’s hard to
believe, as his series career has spanned three seasons, Erik Darnell
will make his first NASCAR Nationwide Series start this weekend at Texas
Motor Speedway.  Darnell has previously scored one top-10 finish in six
Camping World Truck Series starts at the 1.5-mile speedway. 

LAST START FOR 2010 – This weekend is Darnell’s final start of 2010
with the No.16 team.  In his two previous starts (Richmond II, Dover II)
Darnell’s best finish was a 14th-place effort at Dover International
Speedway in September.  Colin Braun will be back behind the wheel of the
No. 16 Con-way Freight Ford for the final two events of the 2010 season.

SPEEDWAY STATS – In 19 career Nationwide Series starts, all of
Darnell’s top-five and top-10 finishes have come at tracks
measuring between one and two miles in length.  This is good news
heading into the 1.5-mile Texas Motor Speedway where Darnell owns six
Truck Series starts with one top-10 finish,

ROUSH FENWAY RACING AT TEXAS – In 90 starts at Texas Motor Speedway,
Roush Fenway Racing has notched seven wins, 25 top-fives, 40 top-10s,
and 1816 laps led.  The wins were tallied by Matt Kenseth (3), Greg
Biffle, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards and Mark Martin. 

TEXAS CHASSIS SELECTION – Crew chief Chad Norris has selected RK-354
for this weekend’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge at Texas Motor
Speedway.  This is the same car Darnell drove to a 14th-place finish at
Dover International Speedway in September. 

Darnell, on racing in Texas:
“Texas is a track that I had some decent runs at in the Truck Series,
but unfortunately, the finishes didn’t always reflect that.  I’m
hopeful we can put together a complete race here in my first Nationwide
Series start at Texas.  I’m excited to have 3M on board again in my
final start this season.  I know Chad [Norris] and the guys have been
working hard getting our car ready, so I’m looking forward to a great
weekend.”

Crew chief Chad Norris, on racing in Texas with Darnell:
“Erik has had some pretty good results at Texas in the past in the
Camping World Truck Series.  We look forward to continuing that success
this weekend in his first Nationwide Series start at the track. We have
worked really hard on the car, as well as getting the pit crew geared up
for this weekend. We expect great things for Erik and hope for a solid
finish for 3M.”

CHINA GROVE, N.C. (Nov. 1, 2010) – Robert Richardson, Jr. likes many things about racing at Texas Motor Speedway including the fast speeds, the layout of the track and his overall fondness for competiting on the 1.5-mile oval.

But, most of all, it’s probably the fact he only has to travel 20 miles from doorstep to cockpit to compete in the No. 23 North Texas Pipe Chevrolet.

As a graduate of nearby McKinney (Tex.) High School, the team’s former starting quarterback now resides a short distance away in Denton where horse farms are prevalent. For this Texas native, being around any kind of horsepower suits him just fine. But this weekend, he’ll trade one for 100s when he saddles in for the race weekend.

Fast Facts: Richardson will be making his 68th NASCAR Nationwide Series career at his home track of TMS. During that span, his best finish took place at the short track of O’Reilly Raceway Park earlier this year of 15th. This will be his 22nd start in 2010, the most he’s made in any of his three prior seasons, where he’s accumulated an average finish of 27.5 this year.

Track Facts: Through his previous six starts at TMS, Richardson has completed 994 of 1,200 laps (82.8%) laps contested. That would have been better if not for an electrical problem in one race and engine problem in the other for his two DNF’s. His best start was Spring ’08 when he qualified 29th and his best finish was 23rd, which he earned in this year’s April event.

Car Facts: Steve Plattenberger and team will roll out chassis No. 30 to take on the fast Texas track. This car was last used at Kansas Speedway last month, Chicagoland Speedway in July, Charlotte Motor Speedway in May and Texas Motor Speedway in April. The team finished 23rd at both CMS and TMS with this car.

Decklid Donation: Through a charity fundraiser for Communities in Schools, R3 Motorsports donated their decklid space for the Texas race to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Included in the package was a Meet and Greet with the team and driver, photos on the starting grid and four garage passes. Turner Construction was the highest bidder and will have a “Turner – Building the Future” decal on the car.

Where is Robert?: Richardson will be busy on Thursday as he takes part in two different charity events. The first will take place at Ross Perot Jr’s house for a Celebrity Clay Shooting contest. Being the avid hunter he is; Richardson is hoping to put his aiming prowess to work at this function. Later that evening, he’ll be a featured guest at Sam Hornish, Jr’s Celebrity Bowling Tournament at the Main Event in Grapevine, Texas to benefit the Speedway Children’s Charity.

Did you know: The fall race at TMS has never been won from the pole. However, Kyle Busch holds the mark as the only driver to ever win a TMS race from the pole (Spring 09) and been the farthest back at 31st to go to Victory Lane (Spring ’08).

Busy day on Friday: Two practice sessions will be held on Friday morning with qualifying done later in the day. Race action is on Saturday at 12:55 ET on ESPN2, PRN Radio and Sirius/XM Radio Ch. 128.

Robert Richardson, Jr. quotes

What makes this track more special than the others: “First off, I’m not going to have to catch a plane and rental car to get to this race. When you travel as much as we do to do what we do, it’s nice to be able to get in your own car and drive to the track, then drive back to your house.

“The other thing that makes it special is number of friends and family that will be around this weekend. When we go to places like California, nobody knows me from Adam – which is fine. But, it’s nice to race in front of your hometown crowd on your home track like Texas.”

What about the track and its layout: “They say all the 1.5 mile tracks are the same, or cookie cutters. I can definitely tell you each of them is different in their own way. Texas has the banking (24 degrees) that allows you to run the high speeds to get around here better. You have to be real good into Turns 1 and 3 if you want to be good out of Turns 2 and 4. If you’re not, you’re spending the rest of the lap trying to make up for what you lost on entry.

“I like this car (chassis No. 30) we’re using this weekend and hope to be as good, if not better, than we have in the past. I’m ready for a good weekend of racing at Texas Motor Speedway. We only have two to go after this and we’d like to close out the season on some high notes.”

LOOKING TO EVEN THE SCORE WITH A HIGH FIVE: With Kyle Busch winning the the rain-delayed Nationwide Series race earlier this season at Texas Motor Speedway, he moved ahead of two-time Nationwide Series champion Kevin Harvick as the all-time leader with five Nationwide Series wins at the track. Now, Harvick looks to even the score and win his fifth Nationwide Series race in the Lone Star State.

Piloting the No. 33 Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) Jimmy John’s Chevrolet, Harvick will be making his 13th career start in the series at the 1.5-mile track. In his 12 previous starts at the track, Harvick has earned four wins, five top-five and nine top-10 finishes. His average starting position is 8.0 with an average finish of 9.3. Harvick has led 527 laps and completed 98.8 percent of laps attempted (2295 of 2322 laps). In addiiton, Harvick has one pole and has started inside the top seven for 10 races with one start of 23rd and most recently, a 16th-place starting position.

On the Sprint Cup Series side, where Harvick and his No. 29 Richard Childress Racing (RCR) No. 29 team are in the hunt for the 2010 Series championship, Harvick has 15 starts, three top-five and seven top-10 finishes.

Flipping to the Truck Series, Harvick has three starts with one top-five and one top-10 finish.

LAP LEADER: This week Harvick will drive chassis No. 061, a chassis that has been on track for three races earlier this season and in all three, Harvick has led laps. At Chicagoland Speedway when the chassis made its race debut, Harvick won the pole and went on to lead nine laps. He followed by leading 52 laps at Atlanta Motor Speedway and leading 86 laps at Auto Club Speedway. Chassis 061 has led a total of 147 laps with finishes of seventh (Chicagoland), fourth (Atlanta) and third (Auto Club).

BEFORE THE RACE: QUOTES WITH DRIVER KEVIN HARVICK:

What is it like to race at Texas Motor Speedway? “Texas Motor Speedway is a fast race track. Besides Dover, it’s possibly the biggest sensation of speed other than a qualifying lap at Atlanta Motor Speedway. When it comes to the track itself, the transitions up off the corners at Texas are a lot different than tracks like Charlotte. The banking comes out of the corners and it really flattens out as you exit the corners. It is really hard to get a hold of turn two. A lot of times you are tight up off turn two or you’re pushing the front-end really bad. It is a fine line to get your car to work around the entire track.”

You’ve been very successful in the Nationwide Series at Texas Motor Speedway, why is this? “Texas is a track that I’ve found success at from the get go. My first start there in the Nationwide car we had a top-10 finish and since then managed to pick up four wins. I always look forward to going back to Texas and competing for a win.”

CHASSIS HISTORY: This weekend the No. 33 Jimmy John’s team will unload chassis No. 061 for KHI team co-owner Harvick at Texas Motor Speedway. Most recently this chassis was on track at Auto Club Speedway where Harvick started the race from the second position and led the most of laps of the field (86 laps) before coming up a few positions short with a third-place finish. Prior to Auto Club Speedway, this chassis was on track at Atlanta Motor Speedway where Harvick started the race eighth and led 52 laps before finishing fourth. This chassis made its race debut at Chicagoland Speedway where Harvick earned his 21st-career pole and finished the race seventh.

PREVIOUS RACE RECAP: Most recently Mike Bliss made his final appearance of the season in the No. 33 car for KHI. Debuting new sponsor Mad Croc Energy, Bliss had a fast car from the time the team unloaded for the final scheduled Nationwide Series race at Gateway (Ill.) International Raceway. After running in the top three for both practice sessions, Bliss secured the fourth starting position and led 10 laps before coming up one position short with a solid second-place finish.

About Kevin Harvick Inc.:

Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI), established in 2001 by Kevin and DeLana Harvick, is an 80,000 sq. ft. facility located in Kernersville, N.C. Home of the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship team, KHI enters 2010 in its seventh full year of competition with two full-time Truck Series teams and one full-time Nationwide Series team. Four-time Truck Series champion Ron Hornaday returns to the helm of the No. 33 Truck team looking for his fifth title and third championship for KHI (2009 and 2007), while Sprint Cup series stars Kevin Harvick and Elliott Sadler guide the No. 2 Truck team. Two-time NASCAR Nationwide Series champion Harvick will again shine as the lead driver of the No. 33 Nationwide Series team as he continues to make his mark in motorsports and establish KHI as one of the top teams in NASCAR competition. For more information about KHI and its teams, please visit www.KevinHarvickInc.com.

KERNERSVILLE, N.C. (October 29, 2010) – Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) announced today the signing of two multi-year sponsorship agreements with Rheem Manufacturing Company and Menards for the No. 33 Nationwide Series entry for the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

Returning to KHI for their fourth and fifth years, Rheem will serve as the primary sponsor of the No. 33 KHI Chevrolet for 22 races throughout each season.

“We’re very excited to have Rheem continue its program with KHI and the No. 33 car in the Nationwide Series for the 2011 and 2012 seasons,” said KHI team co-owner Kevin Harvick. “Over the last three years, we’ve watched Rheem increasingly move up their involvement from a few races to now being a major player in the Nationwide Series and one of KHI’s most reliable and most active partners. To have participated in their growth and to see them bring new partners into the mix is very exciting.”

Fans will not only see two-time Nationwide Series champion Harvick pilot the No. 33 Rheem Chevrolet, but also a variety of RCR drivers will join him throughout the season. Clint Bowyer will debut a new edition of the classic red and black Rheem paint scheme at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway on February 19, 2011. Having recently announced an alliance with RCR for the Nationwide Series program, the driver line-up for the No. 33 KHI Rheem car is a key example of the important synergies and cooperation among the two companies.

JR Jones, Rheem Chief Executive Officer said, “Rheem’s worldwide reputation for quality, reliability, innovation and outstanding service is supported by the business partners we have. We carefully choose our associates based on their equal dedication to performance excellence and their ability to consistently deliver reliable results to customers. Our long association with Kevin and DeLana Harvick and the entire KHI team is a perfect example of quality people and organizations coming together to form one great team.”

Rheem Manufacturing will continue asthe Official Heating, Cooling and Water Heating Provider to KHI as well as tothe Kevin Harvick Foundation.

KHI has also signed a multi-year sponsorship with Menards to serve as the primary sponsor for 12 races in both the 2011 and 2012 Nationwide Series season. Harvick will debut a new yellow and black paint scheme at Phoenix International Raceway on February 26, 2011 for the first scheduled Menards race event. With Menards being the largest consumer supplier in the U.S. of Richmond brand water heating products, one of Rheem Manufacturing Company’s quality brands, this will mark the first time that Menards will blend its traditional paint scheme with the classic black Rheem paint scheme to showcase its association with Rheem. Richmond water heaters will serve as associate sponsor of the 33 car for these 12 races.

For the Menards races, Harvick will share the driver’s seat with Paul Menard and a variety of RCR drivers. This will mark the first time that multiple drivers will pilot the Menards car during a season. Menard has driven the familiar Menards paint scheme in both the Nationwide and Cup series throughout his career and will continue the tradition next season as he joins KHI in the Nationwide Series.

KERNERSVILLE, N.C. (October 28, 2010) – Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) and Richard Childress Racing (RCR) will no longer compete against each other in the NASCAR Nationwide Series beginning in 2011. KHI will field the Nationwide Series entries beginning with next year’s season-opening event at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway with RCR providing chassis, engine and technical support.

KHI will continue to use Earnhardt-Childress Racing engines in both their NASCAR Nationwide and Truck Series programs in 2011.

2005 marked KHI’s first year of fulltime competition in the Nationwide Series, and over the last five years, there have been Sprint Cup Series stars, Truck Series champions as well as up-and-coming drivers taking their turn behind the wheel. With a combined effort, KHI’s Nationwide Series program has scored nine wins, 12 poles, 64 top-five and 123 top-10 finishes.

“This alliance will help both of our race teams,” said Kevin Harvick, co-owner of KHI. “Richard and I have discussed this opportunity for a while and we thought, at this point, both programs would really benefit from this new structure since the Nationwide Series new cars will be so similar to our Sprint Cup cars.”

RCR will focus its development program through its NASCAR Camping World Truck Series program with Austin Dillon and a second team to be named later. Since its inception in 2000, RCR’s Nationwide Series program has earned 56 victories and five championships: two overall championships (2001, 2006 with Kevin Harvick), two owners-only titles (2003 with Harvick and Johnny Sauter; 2007 with Jeff Burton and Scott Wimmer) and one driver-only title (2008 with Clint Bowyer).

“Kevin and I are excited about the partnership between RCR and KHI next year,” said Richard Childress, president and CEO of Richard Childress Racing. “We have talked about having a joint endeavor for several years and, looking at 2011, the timing couldn’t be more right. With RCR fielding at least two Camping World Truck Series teams next year, the trade-off is for us to help KHI with its Nationwide Series efforts. It’s a positive step for both companies.”

KHI will maintain its presence in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, fielding two fulltime teams, as well as continuing its customer support programs. Further announcements regarding KHI’s on-track plans for 2011 will be forthcoming.
