TC Motorsports; Odell Collect  30th In Nashville 

LEBANON, Tenn. (June 12, 2006) - -  Saturday’s Federated Auto Parts 300  from 
Nashville Superspeedway saw TC Motorsports with rookie driver David Odell  
make their second NASCAR Busch Series start of the 2006.   
With the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series  competing at Pocono International Raceway, 
several NNC team opted to leave their  Busch cars in the garage leaving one 
of the smallest entry lists for the 2006  season. However, with 46 cars 
unloading at the 1.333-mile Speedway and not  guaranteed into the starting grid based 
on points, the pressure was on to  perform. 
During the first practice session,  TC Motorsports wanted to get a 
comfortable race car underneath their ARCA driver  turned NASCAR star. Throughout 
practice, the team worked on the handling of the  No. 07 Chevrolet Monte Carlo.  
When  all was done, the team was 35th on the charts, posting a time of  30.611 
seconds at 156.767 MPH. The team outran several highly funded teams  including 
Robert Yates Racing (No. 90 Ford Fusion and Roush Racing (No. 60 Ford  Fusion). 
  
“The first practice was okay,�?? said  Odell.  “We’re looking a lot better  
than the spring race and that’s a positive note.  We’re going to see if we can’
t improve  on our car in the second session and let it all hang out in  
qualifying.�?? 
In the final session leading up to  qualifying, the team opted to work on 
their qualifying setup.  The team didn’t fair as well as they  wanted to in 
practice only turning the 44th fastest lap.  “We’re not happy with what the 
practice  results showed, but there is nothing we can do about it.  We’ll just put 
the best setup we can and  go for it in qualifying.�?? 
In time trials, Odell made his way  into the starting grid. Looking to bounce 
back from the disappointment in the  second practice session, Odell 
maneuvered the track in 30.628 seconds at 156.680  MPH good enough for 39th.  Even 
though the team wasn’t starting where they wanted to, they made the  field. 
Though never being a factor during  the Federated Auto Parts 300, Odell used 
the race as a testing session in the  NASCAR Busch Series. He battled with his 
competitors, learned even further more  about the tricks and trades of 
Nashville Superspeedway and also learned in-depth  the unique challenges a Busch car 
presents.   
Throughout the night, Odell gained  nine spots from his starting position to 
claim 30th completing 219 of  the scheduled 225 laps. 
“All in all, it’s a satisfying  finish,�?? explained Odell, a  well-known late 
model driver for the Lawrenceville, Georgia  area.  “We finished 25th  in the 
spring and 30th this weekend. We didn’t wreck the car and  we’re going to be 
able to use it again. I just want to thank everyone at TC  Motorsports for 
all their hard work this weekend; we’re reaching for better  results all around 
next weekend at Kentucky.�?? 
The  Meijer 300 is the next venue for the NASCAR Busch Series and next stop 
for TC  Motorsports. Odell will look to make his third start of the NBS season 
and first  start at the 1.5-mile speedway.
