Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) has 20 Truck Series victories since making its debut in 2010, however, Iowa Speedway is one of nine tracks on the 2013 schedule that the young organization has not yet conquered. Joey Coulter and his No. 18 Darrell Gwynn Foundation team hope to change that stat in this weekend's American Ethanol 200 presented by Enogen at Iowa Speedway. Although the team has had their share of heartaches in the first eight races of the season, Coulter feels as though the team is focused and has what it takes to make a little noise in the remaining 14 races - starting with this weekend's first of two NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) event's in the Hawkeye State.

Coulter has 55 Truck Series starts since 2010, including 11 starts on a short track (anything under a mile in length), and boast the highest percentage rate (36%) for finishing in the top five than any other type of track on the circuit. In nine superspeedway (2 miles +) starts, Coulter has finished in the top five 11% of the time and in 35 intermediate (1-2 miles in length) starts, has finished in top five 26% of the time.

As a veteran or a rookie you know that planting a garden requires work. Coulter and the No. 18 Toyota team feel as though the soil has been prepared, the seeds have been sown, and the garden watered. Their field of dreams would be seeing the crop bud in the cornfields of Central Iowa this weekend in an effort to harvest a victory for KBM and cross another track off their hit list.

Larson managed to stay out of the characteristic "big one," earning his first NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) top 10 at a superspeedway and Sunoco Rookie of the Race honors with a sixth-place finish.

Kyle Larson on New Hampshire Motor Speedway

"I've been really looking forward to Loudon; I'm seeing so many of these tracks for the first time, so whenever you can go to a track that you've not only raced, but won, you're going to circle that race on the calendar. It's a fun track to race, it's really unlike anywhere else we go; it's got very long straightaways, it's very flat and your braking points are critical. It's a challenging track but I definitely feel like having a quicker learning curve this weekend could put us in a position to win our first Nationwide race."

On the racing side, we are bringing a car that we've run a few times this season and have had pretty good success with. New Hampshire is basically a big Martinsville. To pass someone you have to move them out of the way, or wait for them to make a mistake."

Chad Hackenbracht is boiling over with anticipation and excitement, as he approaches his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut this weekend in the CNBC Prime’ s The Profit 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.  Hackenbracht, who was supposed to make his debut last month at Iowa Speedway but instead made his first Camping World Truck Series start in Texas, is geared up and ready for his debut in the Granite State. 

Hackenbracht’s family owned company, Tastee Apple, Inc., will be on the hood of the No. 44 Toyota Camry and veteran Crew Chief Greg Conner will be calling the shots.  Hackenbracht previously competed in the ARCA Racing Series for three seasons and showed a lot of success with a win at Pocono Raceway in 2012 and eight top-five and 22 top-10 finishes in 47 career starts. 

With no fear of learning the weathered 1.058-mile oval, coined the “Magic Mile”, in New Hampshire’s countryside; the 21- year-old Hackenbracht is eager to be back in the driver’s seat. 

“I’ve been waiting for this race for a long time,” said Hackenbracht. “To say I’m excited is an understatement. I’m confident my team has put together a great car for me and I will lean on my veteran teammates for advice.” 

Saturday’s 211.6 mile event will be the 24^th NASCAR Nationwide Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.  Hackenbracht will hit the speedway for the first time on Friday, when the NASCAR Nationwide Series has their first practice at 11 a.m. ET. Tune in Saturday July 13^th on ESPN at 3:30 p.m. ET to watch Hackenbracht and his TriStar Motorsports teammates take to New Hampshire’s “Magic Mile.”

At slightly more than one mile in length, New Hampshire Motor Speedway technically isn’t a “short” track, but it races like one from the drivers’ perspective.

And that’s a good thing, in Landon Cassill’s view.

 “I look forward to shorter tracks because I think we have a better shot to be more competitive at short tracks,” Cassill said of his JD Motorsports with Gary Keller team. “We ran really well at Richmond, and I also have a Nationwide pole at Loudon. I feel like I can run well there.”

Cassill returns to NHMS this week for Saturday’s CNBC Prime’s “The Profit” 200.

Cassill won the pole for the Nationwide race at NHMS in June 2008 but finished 34^th in the race after an accident.

New Hampshire Motor Speedway is a deceptive place, Mike Wallace says.

 “When you walk around it, it has banking, but when you’re in a car it’s like, where did the banking go?” Wallace said.

NHMS has seven-degree banking in its turns, but drivers generally consider it a “flat” track. Cars reach high speeds down the two straightaways and must be slowed suddenly for the turns.

 “It’s a challenging race track,” Wallace said. “I wish it had about 10 more degrees of banking. Handling is such a premium. And you’ve got to have power there because you slow down and then drive up off the corners.”

Wallace, who has three top-10 finishes in 11 Nationwide races at NHMS, will give the track another go in Saturday’s CNBC Prime’s “The Profit” 200. He’ll be in the JD Motorsports with Gary Keller Chevrolet.

Practice is scheduled at the track at 11 a.m. and 1:40 p.m. (ET) Friday, with qualifying at 10:05 a.m. Saturday. The race is scheduled at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

Michael Annett and the No. 43 Pilot Travel Centers team head to New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend for the only NASCAR Nationwide series (NNS) race on the schedule at the flat-banked track.

Annett has four starts at the one-mile track with one top-10 finish. In those four starts, his average finish is 14^th and his best finish of seventh came in 2011. Annett ranks sixth among drivers in the NASCAR Nationwide Series in green flag passes at the track with 112 and 12^th among drivers in number of laps ran in the top-15 during the race.

Annett may have an advantage with spotter Tim Fedewa guiding him around the track this weekend. Fedewa has one pole and one win, two top-fives and three top-10 finishes at New Hampshire as a driver in the NNS.

If you're attending the race at New Hampshire this weekend, stop by the Ford Racing display on Saturday from 1:15 - 1:30 p.m. ET with your questions for Annett.

Comments from the No. 43 Pilot Travel Centers Ford Mustang driver Michael Annett:

"I'm looking forward to going to New Hampshire. I finished seventh there in 2011 and just outside of the top-10 last year. We've had some good cars and solid finishes since Charlotte, but I'm hoping that Loudon is the track where we really start to turn some heads. This summer stretch is always fun, and it's where we really excelled last year.

"The track is a little more challenging than the other short-tracks because of the bumps, especially in Turn Three. I feel like we got a pretty good handle on that last year and if we start our practice day where we left off last year and use the two practices to work on it we'll be set for a solid top-five finish."

Comments from Crew Chief Philippe Lopez on New Hampshire:

"We run the same car or very similar cars at Richmond, Phoenix and Loudon; those are all very similar types of tracks. Loudon is a little bit different because it's a bit flatter in the corners and has a lot of bumps going into Turn Three. It's a challenge trying to get the car as soft as possible to handle well, but the bumps dictate that you get the car off the ground. It poses problems unlike the other two short tracks.

"Because tire wear has generally been good at New Hampshire, you definitely have to work on the long runs. It's not so much about being fast on the short run, although you can't give it up, but the long run cars tend to do well there because New Hampshire ends up being a fuel mileage race, three times out of five. You have to go a long way on tires and a long way on gas.

"On the Nationwide side, I think the Ford's have the advantage on fuel mileage. It seems like every week when we're trying to figure out when we can come in, we always start hearing radio chatter about the other manufacturers coming in about three, four, five laps sooner than us. Sometimes it makes us second guess our calculations, but we always seem to be right on and it's becoming a weekly occurrence. We definitely get good gas mileage, so hats off to Doug Yates and his team."

Previous Race Recap...Paludo and the No. 32 AccuDoc Solutions team showed consistency from beginning to end in the eighth race weekend of the season at Kentucky Speedway. After two solid practice sessions and a top-10 qualifying run, Paludo brought home a seventh-place finish and gained a position in the NCWTS Driver Point Standings, now sitting eighth following the UNOH 225.

Miguel Paludo on driving at Iowa Speedway

"Iowa Speedway is somewhere that I feel we've had a lot of consistency in the past. We've always run pretty well there, both the No. 32 team and Turner Scott Motorsports as a whole. It's a track I feel pretty comfortable at and we're bringing our Martinsville truck, which I was really happy with when we ran it earlier this year. We're so close to that first win and Iowa has one of the coolest trophies of any track. I'd love to bring that gas pump home with me."

Return to Short-Track Racing...Buescher returns to Iowa Speedway this weekend coming off his first top-five finish of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) season at Kentucky Speedway. In their two most recent trips to Iowa Speedway, Buescher and his No. 31 team looked like they would end up in victory lane until the bad luck bug bit the Turner Scott Motorsports (TSM) team, effectively ending their races with disappointing finishes. Buescher comes into Iowa with four top-10 finishes in his five starts, leading 98 laps in the last two.

Gotta Have a Rheem...The No. 31 TSM entry will once again run the familiar Rheem colors this weekend at Iowa. Buescher looks to use the momentum that the Rheem team has built in recent weeks and bring Rheem their first win with Turner Scott Motorsports. Rheem Manufacturing Company (www.rheem.com) is privately held with headquarters in Atlanta. In its 87th year of operation, the company manufactures a full line of high-quality residential and commercial heating and cooling systems; tank, tankless, solar, and heat pump water heaters; swimming pool heaters and commercial boilers throughout North America and world markets. The company's premium brands, including Raypak, Ruud and Rheem, have been recognized with countless industry and consumer awards for reliability, innovative design and high quality. Rheem, now in its seventh consecutive year as a NASCAR sponsor, is the official heating, cooling and water heating supplier to Turner Scott Motorsports and Richard Childress Racing. Rheem also sponsors RCR's No. 29 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car driven by Kevin Harvick and the No. 33 NASCAR Nationwide Series car driven by Paul Menard.

Kentucky Recap...When the green flag turned the field loose, Buescher got caught up in a three-wide battle with his TSM teammates Jeb Burton and Miguel Paludo. Near the halfway mark of the race, the No. 31 F.O.E. Chevrolet came to life and Buescher worked his way inside the top five. Running fourth for the last green-flag run, Buescher and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) star Kyle Busch put on a show for the fans as they had a back-and-forth battle for a podium finish. Buescher came up just inches shy at the line, bringing home the F.O.E. team's first top-five finish of the season.

No Off Week...Buescher used the NCWTS off week to return to the NASCAR Nationwide Series and went down to Daytona to make his second series start of 2013. After starting the Subway Firecracker 250 in the 17th position, Buescher was looking to make some friends and searched around for a drafting partner during the first half of the race; however, when it came down to when it counted, Buescher was able to get hooked up with NSCS standout Matt Kenseth and the two rocketed to the front of the field. With a green/white/checkered restart, Buescher was able to push Kenseth out to the lead and brought the Florida Lottery Camaro home in the second-place finishing spot.

Chassis Info...The Rheem team will bringChassis TSM-601 with them this weekend to Iowa Speedway. The only previous race on this chassis was at Texas Motor Speedway earlier this season, where Buescher drove it to a top-10 finish after starting in the back of the field.

Now Appearing...On Saturday, come and get an autograph from Buescher and his TSM teammates during the NCWTS autograph session located under the Turn 4 grandstands from 2:30 to 3:15 p.m. CDT.

Watch and Listen...The American Ethanol 200 can be seen live on Saturday, July 13th on SPEED. Race coverage will begin at 8:00 p.m. EDT. The event can also be heard live on MRN Radio as well as SiriusXM Satellite Radio, channel 90.

James Buescher on returning to Iowa Speedway

"Iowa has always been a great track for our Turner Scott Motorsports team; we just haven't been able to close it and put our truck in victory lane. My Rheem team has had a couple strong weeks as of late, and I really feel we have built up a lot of momentum coming into this weekend's race. I feel like we have a legitimate chance of winning and continuing our march up the standings."
