After overcoming numerous obstacles and setbacks, Hamilton Means Racing is poised to make its series debut at the Goody’s Fast Relief 500 this weekend at Martinsville Speedway with driver Scott Speed behind the wheel. The team will run the No. 52 Crusader Staffing Toyota.

After months of preparation HMR has everything in place and is ready to get their car on the track. The team will run Toyotas purchased from Michael Waltrip Racing and is leasing engines from Mark Smith at Pro Motor Engines (PME). The No. 52 will be a late entry for this weekend’s event so it will not accrue any driver or owner points.

“We are so happy to finally have everything come together and we’re ready to get out there on the track,” said Dell Hamilton, co-owner of HMR. “We’re happy to have Scott driving for us and are confident that he can get the job done.”

Speed has run a limited schedule in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series since his release from Red Bull Racing in 2010. Speed has run in all three NASCAR Series. Speed’s best finish with Red Bull Racing was 5th at Talladega in 2009. He recorded his first career Top 10 finish in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, when he finished tenth at Martinsville Speedway.

Speed must beat three other teams on time to qualify for Sunday’s Goody’s Fast Relief 500.

Hamilton’s company Crusader Staffing will be the primary sponsor while the team seeks new partnerships and sponsors. Crusader Staffing is a nationwide company that specializes in professionally managed warehouse labor.  Since 2002, Crusader has been serving its customers all across the US.  Headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Crusader provides a wide range of logistics services with a core specialty in loading and unloading freight. This includes unloading containers, railcars, and trailers at warehouses and distribution centers.
