This Week’s Silverado…Paludo and the No. 32 AccuDoc Solutions team will unload chassis TSM-604 this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway. TSM-604 is a brand-new, new-generation chassis, which will make its first laps this weekend in the Lucas Oil 150.

Previous Race Recap…Paludo was a threat early on in the weekend as the NCWTS prepared for its second battle of the season at Texas Motor Speedway. After leading the first practice session and qualifying in the top five, Paludo appeared to have the truck to beat in the WInStar World Casino 350. However, early contact and a free condition hurt the No. 32 team early on, preventing them from bringing Anderson’s Maple Syrup to victory lane in their first race with Turner Scott Motorsports.
Miguel Paludo on driving at Phoenix International Raceway
“Phoenix is an interesting track and always a fun place to go back to; it isn’t like anywhere else we go. The dog leg on the backstretch makes it unique and no two turns are the same. I think the key is not over-driving Turn 1 and track position. You’ll see a lot of different strategies to get track position throughout the race. We’re bringing a new truck, one of our new generation trucks, so I think that we have the ability to be really competitive when we get there. We’re so close to the end of the season and it’s so important to me that we finish 2013 strong.”
