Tyler Young, No. 02 Randco / Young’s Building Systems Chevrolet Silverado
Alpha Energy Solutions 250 Fast Facts

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Race No. 3,
Alpha Energy Solutions 250, Martinsville (Va.) Speedway, Martinsville, Virginia

Race Information: Event: Alpha Energy Solutions 250, Saturday, April 2 at 2:30 p.m. Local Time Track: Martinsville Speedway Qualifying: Saturday, April 2 at 11:15 a.m. Local Time Track Length: 0.526-mile paved oval.

Atlanta Race Recap: Adjusting his No. 02 Randco / Young’s Building Systems Chevrolet Silverado throughout three practices, Young started the Great Clips 200 from 23rd, but utilized the 130-lap race to rocket towards the front. Solid adjustments from crew chief Andrew Abbott kept the Young’s Motorsports team in contention with Young finishing 13th, his career-best run at the 1.5-mile speedway.

Hot Start: In addition to his solid run at Atlanta, Young’s Motorsports is carrying huge momentum to kick off the 2016 NCWTS season. With a sporty race truck in the season-opener at Daytona, Young used a defining strategy allowing him to miss the “big one”, which put his team near the front. Young survived a late race restart and finished a career-best sixth in the NextEra Energy Resources 250.

Aiming For Four: Earning his third career top-10 finish of his NCWTS career at the World Center of Racing, Young aims for another strong finish at Martinsville Speedway Saturday
afternoon in what would be his fourth career top-10 run. Young’s best finish on a short track was 13th at Martinsville Speedway in October 2015.

Points Report: Young enters Saturday’s Alpha Energy Solutions 250 fifth in the championship standings, just eight points behind series leader Parker Kligerman. Team owner Randy Young also occupies fifth in the truck owner standings.

Tyler At Martinsville: Young’s Motorsports driver Tyler Young returns to Martinsville Speedway aiming for his fifth start at the 0.526-mile speedway. In those starts, Young has achieved a best start of ninth while earning a best finish of 13th both occurring last fall at the historic paperclip oval.

No Pressure: With owner points to fall back on, Young’s Motorsports and driver Tyler Young are guaranteed to make their 59th career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Martinsville. The security allows the team to utilize strategy for qualifying and the race during practice Friday.

Success On The K&N Side Too: Young’s Motorsports registered their first top-10 finish of the 2016 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East (NKPSE) season this past weekend at Greenville-Pickens (S.C.) Speedway with driver Reid Wilson. After qualifying 10th, Wilson finished sixth in his second career K&N start. The finish was spectacular considering the level of difficulty to pass during the Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet 150.

2015 Year In Review: Mooresville, North Carolina-based Young’s Motorsports enjoyed monumental success in their sophomore season of NCWTS competition. In addition to finishing 13th in the championship standings, Young earned his first career top-10 finish at Dover (Del.) International Speedway, while backing that effort up at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway in October.

Additionally, Young also led his first lap of series competition at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway and was running at the finish of 22 of the 23 races in 2015.

Chassis Intel: Andrew Abbott, crew chief of the No. 02 Randco / Young’s Building Systems Chevrolet Silverado has elected to bring chassis number 008 to the 0.526 mile short track this weekend. Considered one of the favorite’s chassis at Young’s Motorsports, the Chevrolet Silverado has competed at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, Iowa Speedway and Martinsville (Va.) Speedway in prior seasons. Chassis No. 005 will serve as the team’s backup automobile.

Young’s Motorsports, Martinsville (Va.) Speedway, Pre-Race Quotes:
Tyler Young, driver of the No. 02 Randco / Young’s Building Systems Chevrolet:

On Atlanta (Ga.) Motor Speedway: “I’m really pleased with how Atlanta turned out. We were fighting to get the right balance of our truck during the extended practices sessions on that Friday. Andrew (Abbott, crew chief) did a great job trying different things and by qualifying, the truck was the best it had been. We continued to adjust during the race and ended up with a strong solid finish. It’s exactly what we wanted.”

On Being Fifth In Championship Points: “There’s no way I thought we would be sitting fifth in the point standings after two races. The run at Daytona is exactly what we needed to give this Young’s Motorsports team a boost. We didn’t have the fastest truck, but we raced our race and that’s what paid off in the points department for us. We just need to stay focused moving forward and see what happens from there.”

On Martinsville (Va.) Speedway: “Martinsville is one of my favorite short track races that we go too. Some drivers struggle there, but it’s always been a place where I’ve enjoyed the challenges a tight short track like Martinsville has. We qualified and finished real well the last time we were there and I’d be tickled to death with a similar like run there on Saturday.”

On Young’s Motorsports K&N Pro Series East Program: “Can’t begin to describe how proud I am of what we accomplished so quickly on the K&N side. We struggled a little bit at New Smyrna, but we came back fighting in more ways than one at Greenville-Pickens. Reid did a magnificent job behind the wheel and we’re looking forward to our next race.”

The Alpha Energy Solutions 250 (250 laps / 131.5 miles) is the third of 23 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series on the 2016 schedule.
