New Month, New Luck, For Stremme in California

 
Ontario, CA (May 1, 2004) – David Stremme is anxious to put the month of 
April behind Team TRIMSPA. Stremme entered the month ninth in Busch Series points, 
however after three uncharacteristic finishes of 27th or worse, Stremme now 
finds himself 17th in the points standings.
 
“We are putting the month of April behind us,” said Stremme, driver of the 
TRIMSPA X32 Dodge. “Team TRIMSPA loaded a brand new Dodge on the hauler to 
leave for California on Monday. We just finished a test at Michigan International 
Speedway that will help us with our intermediate track program. We are turning 
the page here at Braun to get back to where we were at the beginning of the 
season.”
 
Stremme started the 2004 season with a bang, with three top-10’s, two top 
fives, and an outside pole in the first four races. Since then Stremme has 
experienced bad luck of almost every form in racing. 
 
“There is no reason to keep harping on it,” explains Stremme. “Most of our 
bad luck has been out of our control, but a portion of it we can control. That’
s what we have been working on the past few weeks. Our cars are still fast and 
we are learning.” 
 
Team TRIMSPA has resigned to hard work and focus to change their luck heading 
into May, after several other solutions failed. At the beginning of April 
Chassis 10, otherwise known as “Longhorn”, was thought to be good luck due to 
its top finish at Las Vegas and Darlington. However, three flat tires, a blown 
engine, and a broken transmission later at Nashville Superspeedway and the luck 
appeared to have run out. Stremme did what he could to shake the gremlins by 
wearing brand new driving gloves and race suit for Talladega, but to no avail. 
At one point Team TRIMSPA believed that certain members of the “NBS 24/7” 
production crew, who only attended part of the schedule, actually brought good 
luck.
 
“I don’t believe in good luck charms after this month,” said Stremme. “
Heck, when Jamie (McMurray) won the race for us at Rockingham they had peanuts 
(notorious for giving race teams bad luck) all over their hauler. I have complete 
faith in this TRIMSPA Team. If we stay focused and each do what we do best, 
then we will make our own luck.”
 
Stremme and the TRIMSPA X32 Dodge will be back on track this weekend in 
the1-800-PIT-SHOP.COM 300 at California Speedway. The race will be televised live, 
May 1st, at 4:00 p.m. eastern time on FOX and will broadcast nationally at 
that same time on radio stations affiliated with Motor Racing Network (MRN) and 
XM Satellite Radio Channel 144.
