David Stremme, No. 40 Coors Light Dodge Race Advance 

Sharpie 500 - Bristol Motor Speedway 

 

No. 40 TEAM FACTS:

*        Chassis:  This will be David Stremme and the Coors Light team's
second time at Bristol Motor Speedway.  Crew Chief Steve Lane and the
Silver Bullet crew are taking chassis No. 114 for the event this
weekend.  Stremme raced this car to 33rd, 25th and 41st-place finishes
at Las Vegas, Darlington and Dover respectively.

*        Coors Light Audio Interview: Stremme sat down earlier this
season after Atlanta, Texas, Daytona and Indianapolis with PRN
personality Doug Rice to discuss the weekend's races and his season.
"The David Stremme Rookie Show" is now available exclusively at
www.CoorsLight.com (click on "The Hook Up" section and to go "Coors
Light Racing"). Must be 21 or older to access content. "The David
Stremme Rookie Show" is an online audio interview with Stremme and
includes post-race recaps and on- and off-track insights from the rookie
driver.

*        Bristol Fun Facts: This will be Stremme's second Cup Series
start at Bristol Motor Speedway, he has four Busch Series starts in
Bristol, with one top-10 and two top-20 finishes.

*        First Time Around: In his first Cup Series start at Bristol
Motor Speedway in March, Stremme spent a number of laps behind the wall
after a multi-car accident collected the No. 40 Lone Star Steakhouse &
Saloon Dodge.  When the checkered flag flew on lap 500, Stremme was
credited with a 36th-place finish in the Food City 500.

*        Rookie Ranks:  Stremme is currently sixth in the Raybestos
Rookie of the Year standings.  With 136 points, he is 101 points behind
leader Denny Hamlin and only 21 points behind fifth-place J.J. Yeley.

*        NASCAR NEXTEL Cup points standings:  Stremme is currently 34th
in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup driver standings.  He is 478 points out of the
top 25.  The No. 40 Dodge is currently 33rd in the owner standings.
There are now 13 races remaining in the 2006 season.

 

 

David Stremme Quotes:

 

"When we came here earlier this season the No. 40 Dodge was running
pretty well before we got caught up in one of those chain reactions that
happen at Bristol.  We probably would have had a top-20 finish but there
was nowhere to go and we just got caught up.  I am looking forward to
going back, I like short-track racing and the Bristol night race is one
of the most exciting races of the season.  Luck has a lot to do with
this weekend and hopefully we will have a lot of luck with the Coors
Light Dodge."
