NASCAR BGN: Randy Tolsma / Team Rensi Rockingham Notes
North Carolina Speedway â“ November 3, 2001 Randy Tolsma on Rockingham: Randy
Tolsma, driver of the No. 25 Team Marines Chevrolet, will
make his first career start at the Rock this weekend and is ready to tackle
the challenge. âœWe had a great test session in Rockingham a few weeks ago,â
said Tolsma. âœI really like the track from a driverâ™s perspective. Itâ™s a
tough place that will test you every single lap. Itâ™s the type of track
where so many things come into play⦠tire conservation, track position, pit
strategy, etc. Itâ™ll be an exciting race and should be a great weekend for
Team Rensi Motorsports.â Troy Selberg on Rockingham: âœâ™The Rockâ™ is an old
track and the surface is pretty worn out, so it's easy to use up your tires
early in a long green flag run,â says Team Marines crew chief, Troy Selberg.
Tire conservation as well as track position is key, so Iâ™m counting on the
Team Marines crew to be on their toes and pick us up some spots in the pits.
One thingâ™s for sure - Racing here is never dull and I know this weekend will
be no different.â
Special Car Design: Tolsma will kick off the holiday season by driving the
No. 25 Team Marines Toys For Tots Chevrolet this weekend at Rockingham.
"This is going to be an exciting way build awareness for this yearâ™s
Toys For Tots campaign," said Major Rob Winchester, Public Affairs Officer,
Marine Corps Recruiting Command. âœWe hope that running the Toys For Tots car
will put people in the Christmas spirit and prompt them to remember those
that are less fortunate during the holiday season.â Equipment: The Team
Marines are taking car No. 7 to Rockingham this weekend. This is the same
car that Tolsma competed with in the Dover and Bristol spring races, as well
as in Memphis a couple of weeks ago, where Tolsma scored his best NASCAR
Busch Series finish at 17th. Look for Randy at: The Rockingham Race Fest on
Thursday, November 1st, from 4:30 â“ 6:30pm, where heâ™ll be greeting fans
and signing autographs.
