Bad Break for Tim Sauter at Bristol

Bad Break for Tim Sauter at Bristol
August 22, 2007 – Bristol, TN. Tim Sauter felt past short-track  
experience would help guide the Lester Buildings #07 to a strong run  
Wednesday night when the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series competed on  
the new concrete at the Bristol Motor Speedway. The Green Light  
Racing team left the fast half-mile speedway disappointed as a broken  
track-bar mount forced Sauter behind the wall for lengthy repairs  
resulting in a 28th place finish.

Sauter qualified his Lester Buildings Chevy in 26th starting position  
with a lap of 16.22 seconds and held position on the lead lap when  
the teams made their first stop on lap 34. Sauter reported the truck  
was tight and he needed help getting through the corners. The #07  
restarted 27th after making the adjustments and was running 25th when  
the track-bar bracket broke just past the halfway point of the 200  
lap event.

The Green Light team did a great job with the repairs in the garage  
area and Sauter came back onto the track 57 laps down to gain  
valuable points. The team’s work was well worth the effort as it  
moved Sauter from 31st to 28th in the final rundown behind winner  
Johnny Benson, gaining 9 championship points.

“It was just a rough night. We were real tight and then broke a track  
bar bracket off the rear end, we lost a lot of laps,” Sauter said  
following the race. “The guys did a good job getting us back onto the  
track tonight, but we need to forget about it and move onto Gateway.”

Despite the setback, Sauter moved up one position to 16th in the  
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series standings. Tim also leads Willie Allen  
in the Raybestos Rookie of the Year standings 126 to 121.

The Green Light Racing team will return to action on Saturday Sept 1,  
2007 at the Gateway International Raceway in St Louis. “We’re going  
to bring our best truck to Gateway so I’m looking for this team to  
rebound,” Sauter added.
