Leffler about driving the #32  WINFUEL Chevy for Braun Racing: 
“I am really looking  forward to getting back in a Busch car. Todd Braun and 
everyone at Braun Racing  have given me a wonderful opportunity to drive the 
#32 WINFUEL Chevy. The  WINFUEL team definitely has equipment that is capable 
of winning every time it  goes on track, so hopefully crew chief Todd Lohse and 
I can work together to put  this car Victory Lane. I’ve had really good Busch 
cars in the past at Daytona,  and I’ve come close to winning, but I’ve 
always come up a little bit short at  the end. I know that the Braun team has a 
good package for Daytona, so I look  forward to running up front and being around 
at the end to race for the win.�??   
Leffler’s thoughts on Daytona  International Speedway: 
"I actually enjoy racing at the restrictor-plate tracks and running in  the 
big packs. It doesn't much matter where you run for the balance of the race  at 
a place like Daytona.  Whether  you run up front, in the middle or at the 
back, the key is keeping the car in  good shape and making sure you are on the 
track and racing at the  end." 
Todd Braun’s thoughts on having  Leffler behind the wheel of the #32 WINFUEL 
Chevy: 
"We are really happy that we could work out a deal that allows Jason to  
drive the WINFUEL Chevy. Jason has some good Busch Series success to build on  and 
we think that he’s going to be a good match for our team. We were looking  
for a driver that will give us a chance to win races each time he competes, and  
we think Jason Leffler can do that.�??
