Transnet Racing Welcomes Veteran Crew Chief Danny Gill

Transnet Racing  Welcomes Veteran Crew Chief Danny Gill  
To No. 98 NASCAR  Busch Series Team 

ATLANTA, Georgia  (Tuesday, July 17, 2007) - - Transnet Racing  announced 
this week that it has brought aboard veteran Danny Gill as crew chief  of the 
Dixien/OmniSource/Prime Metal Coatings Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS.  Effective 
immediately, Gill will lead the No. 98 crew, which is currently in its  first 
season of NASCAR Busch Series competition.  
Transnet Racing  announced its transition into the NASCAR Busch Series in the 
fall of 2006, after  several successful years in the Toyota Atlantic 
Championship and promising  stints in the NASCAR Elite Division and ARCA RE/MAX 
Series.   
In March of 2007,  owner and driver Alex Garcia made his Busch Series debut 
in the Telcel-Motorola  Mexico 200 in Mexico City,  Mexico, and  became the 
first Venezuelan driver to race in one of NASCAR’s top divisions.  Transnet 
Racing is currently running a partial schedule, with a full-time  pursuit of the 
championship scheduled for 2008. 
Danny Gill brings  years of experience to Transnet Racing. For Danny, what 
began as a love of  racing turned into a passion for competition and strategy, 
which eventually led  to him becoming a successful crew chief at the highest 
levels in the NASCAR  ranks. 
Coming to Transnet  Racing, Gill’s statistics are impressive; he has visited 
victory lane eight  times as a crew chief, and is 10th in all time NCTS career 
wins. “We  are excited to have Danny aboard,�?? says owner and driver Alex 
Garcia. “He brings  years of experience to the program and a proven winning 
record. I look forward  to working with him on the owner side, and as a driver. I 
anticipate a very  successful campaign from this point forward.�?? 
Transnet Racing’s  campaign continues at the NAPA Auto Parts 200 at Circuit 
Gilles Villenueve in  Montreal on  August 4th, followed by the Zippo 200 at 
Watkins Glen International on August  11th.
