Tim Sauter, Lester Buildings Lowes Preview

After a week off to prepare, the NASCAR Busch series teams are “home”  
this weekend at the Lowes Motor Speedway in Charlotte for the Dollar  
General 300. Tim Sauter and the McGill Motorsports team are hoping to  
improve on the 27th place finish the team had earlier in the year at  
the fast mile and a half speedway.

The team is bringing the same car that ran at Kansas two weeks ago.  
“The guys in the shop have worked real hard to make the car stronger  
for this week, we had some damage on the right front from a pit-road  
incident. The week off gave them plenty of time to get the car ready.  
I really think we can improve on our run here in May,” Sauter explained.

This will be the second to last race for Lester Buildings as the  
primary sponsor of the #36. “We would really like to reward Lester  
with a good run this weekend,” Sauter said. “Lester started selling  
buildings in the Charlotte area last year, and the Motorsports  
program has been a real boost to the sales in this part of the country.”

Fourteen year-old Raine Angelley was awaiting a kidney transplant  
when he was Sauter and the McGill Motorsports team’s special guest  
for the May race. Raine received his donor kidney on August 23rd and  
is recovering amazingly well. Raine was thrilled when Tim called him  
at the hospital shortly after the procedure, and is now hooked on  
NASCAR racing. His new kidney is functioning at 100% and Raine should  
resume normal activities within several months.

There are 47 entries on the preliminary entry list for the Dollar  
General 300. Twenty-one drivers are attempting the “double-duty” of  
both the Busch and Cup races this weekend.

Qualifying for the Dollar General 300 will air live on SPEED  
beginning at five o’clock eastern on Friday, October 13th. The green  
flag will fly at eight o’clock eastern the same day.  The race can be  
seen live on TNT and will be broadcast on PRN radio stations across  
the country.

Tim’s thoughts on the Kansas Speedway: “This place is so much  
smoother after they repaved it. It’s really fast. It’s great for the  
crew guys to race this close to home after that long summer stretch."
