Shane Hmiel about Phoenix International Raceway:
            “I’m looking forward to heading back out west to Phoenix. At the 
end of last season, Phoenix was one of the first few races that I ran for 
Braun Racing. Unfortunately, we were involved in an accident and we ended up only 
finishing 32nd. We will definitely be able to improve upon that finish from 
last year.�??

Hmiel about the #32 WINFUEL team’s preparation for Phoenix:
            “I feel so much more confidant going back to Phoenix this time 
around with Braun Racing. Every week when we go to the track, I know that my 
guys have worked hard to prepare the best cars that they possibly can. I’m able 
to go to each track feeling like we have a good shot at going to Victory Lane. 
Last year, Phoenix was only my third race with the team and I was still 
getting to know all of the guys and they were getting comfortable with me too. This 
year, we’ve been able to come together as a team and I know that I can depend 
on my WINFUEL guys.�??
 
Shane about Braun Racing’s new marketing partner, The Fraternal Order of 
Eagles:
             “Last week at Texas, Braun Racing added a new marketing partner, 
The Fraternal Order of Eagles. We had a group of guests from the organization 
and it was the first time that most of them had even been to a race. It was 
great to be able to win the pole for them in the first weekend that they were 
on board with Braun. The Eagles are a wonderful charitable group and we are 
proud to have them as an associate sponsor on the #32 WINFUEL Chevrolet.�??
