Magic Mile Awaits Tim Sauter

McGill Motorsports Team Hopes to Repeat Past Performance at New  
Hampshire

New Hampshire Intl Speedway will always be a special track for McGill  
Motorsports. The upstart team scored their first ever top-ten finish  
last year in the New England 200. This year the team has high hopes  
heading back to the Loudon track with driver Tim Sauter. In three  
previous starts at the one-mile speedway Sauter has averaged a  
fifteenth place finish.

The combination of team and driver feel the time is right for a  
strong finish this year at the Busch Series northernmost track. “I  
think New Hampshire could be a turning point for this team. I have  
always had good success at the flat short tracks, Milwaukee, Phoenix,  
Gateway and Memphis. I guess they’re a lot like some of the short  
tracks I grew up on,” explained Sauter. “Couple that with the success  
this team had here last year, the time is right for us to give Lester  
Buildings a strong finish.”

The team is bringing the same chassis that last ran at Milwaukee last  
month, an ill-timed caution relegated the Lester Buildings Chevy to  
27th in that event, but Tim was running top-15 lap times for most of  
the event. “I think the guys in the shop did a nice job on this car.  
It will be the second time out for this chassis and each time we have  
brought a car back this year we have improved the handling, so I  
think we will have a competitive car this weekend,” Sauter said.

There are 41 entries for the New England 200 this weekend; fourteen  
drivers are entered in both the Busch Series race on Saturday and the  
Nextel Cup race on Sunday. This will be the second time this year  
that there has not been a full field of 43 cars pre-entered for a  
Busch Series race.

The green flag will drop at 3:00 ET for the New England 200 on  
Saturday, July 15th and will be televised live on TNT.

• This will be Tim’s 103rd start in the NBS and 108th career NASCAR  
start.

• All three Sauter brothers will attempt to make the Durock 300.

• This will be the fourth time Tim Sauter has competed at New  
Hampshire in the NBS, best finish: May 2002 – Busch 200 - Finished

Tim’s thoughts on the New Hampshire Intl Speedway: “I think the Magic  
Mile is just what we need to give the Lester Buildings team some  
confidence and get us headed in a positive direction.”

• This will be the second time McGill Motorsports has competed at New  
Hampshire in the NBS, best finish: July 2005 – New Hampshire 200 -  
Driver; Stanton Barrett - Finished 10th, started 25th.
