Gaughan & Crew Looking Ahead to Kansas Racing

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Brendan Gaughan is no stranger to Kansas Speedway. He’s scored top-ten finishes in each of NASCAR’s three national series and has seven Truck Series starts under his belt at the 1.5-mile track. Gaughan is looking to see the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Tundra back in form as it was in Charlotte last week, but in Kansas, he and his crew want the finish to match their performance level.

“Our Toyota Tundra was really good at Charlotte. I think our mile and a half stuff is really going in the right direction. We’ll take what we learned from Charlotte and go to Kansas and see what we can do. I’ve said it from the get-go, this is part of the season where I think Germain Racing can win and I feel we can win at Kansas,” said Gaughan.

Gaughan gets to visit with some Kansas troops before racing—something which is dear to him and his teammates.

“On Thursday I’m going over to Fort Riley with Justin Lofton to do some troop appreciation which is a huge deal to me and Germain Racing. There are a lot of bases in the area, a lot of military personnel. Even though Memorial Day has passed, it’s still a great opportunity to hang out with the troops and show some appreciation for all they do for all of us,” said Gaughan, who can often be spotted wearing hats from troop members he meets.

Kansas is perfectly suited to Gaughan, according to the Las Vegas native.

“Kansas is different from the Texas and Charlotte types of tracks where drivers like to work the higher groove. Everyone is nervous to go high at Kansas, which means there will be less people in my preferred groove, so that will help me get by people,” smiled Gaughan.
