Stremme to Make First Start at Michigan International Speedway

 

Brooklyn, MI (August  18, 2004) – David Stremme races for the first time at 
Michigan International  Speedway in Busch Series competition this weekend. The 
27-year-old South Bend,  IN native looks to build on the consistency of his 
most recent two runs in the  TRIMSPA X32 Dodge. Stremme finished seventh at 
Pikes Peak and then finished  11th at Indianapolis Raceway Park two weekends ago. 
Stremme’s  11th-place finish was only his second finish between eighth and  
26th so far this season. 
“I have had to be  cautious and give up track position to keep from being in 
a place where another  car can ruin our day,” said Stremme, driver of the 
TRIMSPA X32 Dodge. “We have  had our share of bad luck this season, but when 
something has not taken us out  of contention we have run up front. There has not 
been much in between. Last  weekend at IRP the car was not as fast as I would 
have liked, but we played it  safe and came home 11th.” 
Thus far in 2004  Stremme has earned nine top-10 finishes, four top fives, 
plus a pole and a  second-place finish in Milwaukee. It is a record as good as 
ninth position in  the NASCAR Busch Series points, yet Stremme has only 
recently climbed into the  16th spot in the standings. Stremme enters this weekend 
not in a  points battle, but in a quest for his first Busch Series victory.   
“At Michigan you just  have to stand on the throttle and get it done,” said 
Stremme. “I tested there  after Texas this year when we were trying to improve 
our program at the 1.5-mile  and bigger speedways. I have never driven in a 
race at MIS before, but it was a  lot like Atlanta  in its size and speed. I 
really like these big tracks and our program has  improved significantly on them 
over the course of the  season.” 
In David Stremme’s  first and only race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, the then 
rookie driver climbed  from the rear to the front, starting in 37th position 
and finishing  12th. Stremme will look for more of the same performance on the  
comparable Michigan International Speedway when Team TRIMSPA competes in the  
Cabela’s 250 Saturday, August 21st. The event will be televised live  at 1 
p.m. eastern time on TNT and will broadcast nationally at that same time on  
radio stations affiliated with Motor Racing Network (MRN) and XM Satellite Radio  
Channel 144.
