Brandon Knupp Buckeye Preview

Knupp Buckeye Bound
 
For Immediate Release
 
(1/19/07 - Mooresville, NC) - Brandon Knupp is loading up  his midget and 
heading back home to Ohio to compete in the indoor USAC midget  race for the 
Inaugural Rumble in the Buckeye State. The Ohio State Expo Center  and Coliseum is 
hosting the Rumble Series this weekend at the Ohio State  Fairgrounds in 
Columbus, Ohio.

 
Knupp, a veteran of midgets and a driver in the ARCA RE/MAX Series raced  his 
midget back in December at the Rumble in Fort Wayne, with strong results,  
finishing both nights in the Top-10 of both mains events and a consi win. 
 
The last couple of weeks for Knupp have been a mix of extremes.   December 29 
and 30 saw Knupp in his midget indoors on the 1/10 mile track at the  Fort 
Wayne Coliseum, from there he headed to the 2.5 mile lightning fast high  banks 
of Daytona International Speedway to test a NASCAR Craftsman Truck, just  this 
past weekend and now back to the midget and another 1/10 mile concrete  track 
at the Ohio Expo Center.
 
"I've been keeping myself pretty busy, working on the midget for these two  
indoor races and I think we had a strong car at Fort Wayne, we're looking for  
Columbus to be even better." Said Knupp, "I got the opportunity to go to 
Daytona  to test a NASCAR Craftsman Truck last weekend and it was something that 
came  together at the last minute, so we just jumped in the truck and headed 
down to  Daytona." Knupp added, "It was an awesome experience, I mean I was just 
in  Daytona in December testing Bob Schacht's ARCA car, but the truck was a 
whole  new experience for me and I can honestly say it was a lot of fun and I 
learned a  lot."
 
Brandon will have his midget at the Ohio Expo Center for the Rumble in the  
Buckeye State on Saturday, January 20.  The Rumble Series includes several  
divisions, USAC National Midgets, Ford Focus Midgets, Kenyon Cars, Wingless
