This Week’s Silverado…Paludo and the No. 32 BRANDT do Brasil team will unload chassis TSM-600 this weekend at Chicagoland Speedway. TSM-600 has never started or finished outside the top 10 in the four races in which it has been utilized, earning the pole position and a best finish of second at Pocono Raceway. The truck has both an average start and average finish of sixth, and most recently hit the track at Michigan International Speedway where Paludo finished fifth.

Previous Race Recap…Paludo entered the weekend at Iowa Speedway with momentum on his side and the “perfect” truck before a stuck throttle resulted in a mid-practice wreck, forcing the No. 32 team to utilize a backup for the Fan Appreciation 200. Paludo and crew persevered in a truck that did not make a lap of practice, fighting back from a lap down to finish 14th.
Miguel Paludo on driving at Chicagoland Speedway
“I can’t wait to get to Chicagoland. I’m very proud to be representing BRANDT do Brasil. A lot of people think of Brazil as beaches and big cities, but agriculture and companies like BRANDT play a huge role in many parts of the country, including in the south where I grew up. Chicagoland is BRANDT’s home track and they always have a huge number of guests supporting our team at the racetrack. I don’t think there would be anything more special than to go to victory lane in front of BRANDT while representing my home country. I’ve run well in Chicago in the past and we’re bringing a chassis that we’ve been very successful with so far, so I think this is going to be a great weekend.”
