Leffler about driving the #32  WINFUEL Chevy in the Winn-Dixie 250 at 
Daytona: 
“It really felt good  to get back in a Busch car and be able to run up front 
all night. The Braun  Racing guys really gave me a good car all weekend. The 
#32 WINFUEL Chevy was  fast right off the truck and we just made some small 
changes to try and make it  better. After the season that I’ve had, it was a good 
confidence builder to be  able to run in the top-five or ten all night, 
especially in my first race with  the team. I’m looking forward to building more 
chemistry with Todd Lohse and the  rest of the WINFUEL team as I run more races 
for Braun Racing throughout the end  of this season.�?? 
Leffler’s thoughts on Chicagoland  Speedway: 
"I have only run one Busch race at Chicago, and that was last year when I 
finished  7th. I didn’t qualify as well as I wanted to last year, so I had to  
start 20th and work my way to the front. Hopefully this year I can  improve my 
starting spot and put the WINFUEL Chevy in a good position to start  the race. 
I like racing at Chicagoland and I look forward to going back there  this 
weekend. I know that the Braun Racing guys have prepared a fast car for me,  so 
were going to try and continue to build on the momentum that we started last  
weekend at Daytona where we finished 9th.�?? 
Todd Braun’s thoughts on having  Leffler behind the wheel of the #32 WINFUEL 
Chevy: 
"Jason did a really good job for us last weekend at Daytona, especially  
since it was his first time in our car. Running up front all night and being  
around at the end to compete for a spot in the top-10 was good motivation for  our 
entire team. We know our equipment is good enough to compete for wins and  
Jason showed that he is going to be a factor whenever he is in the WINFUEL Chevy 
 the rest of the season.�??
