Travis Kvapil will have a fresh coat of paint on his Toyota Camry when the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) rolls into Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) for this weekend’s Samsung Mobile 500. Dr. Pepper will adorn the No. 93 BK Racing machine, with its logos on the hood, quarter panels and TV panel. This will be BK Racing’s first special paint scheme since the team opened its doors in February of this season.

Kvapil has nine previous NSCS starts at 1.5-mile TMS and has a best finish of 18th place (2008). In NASCAR Camping World Truck Series competition, Kvapil has 12 starts under his belt at TMS. He has one win (2001), five top-five and seven top-10 finishes.

Over the past three NSCS races, the No. 93 team has risen from 32nd to 30th in the NSCS owner point standings.

Comments from BK Racing Driver Travis Kvapil heading into Texas:

“Our Dr. Pepper Camry looks really cool. It’s a sharp paint scheme and it will show up really well under the lights. We’re excited to have them on board and we’re going to work hard to give them a good ride.

“This is a big step for us to have a special paint scheme. This is the first time that we’ve had some new colors on our car. We’re positioning the team for growth and success and this weekend is a nice reminder that we’re on the right track. Our team has a lot of attractive sponsorship opportunities this season and we hope that more organizations will take advantage of them.

“We’ve had a nice break in the schedule. It was nice to spend some time with the family and recharge my batteries. I’m ready to get back on the track, though. We had some good runs that we strung together before Easter. We had some momentum going. We’ve moved up in the points a few spots and we’ll look to keep it rolling at Texas. I really enjoy racing there. I’ve had some success there and think this can be a good weekend for us.

“Texas is a really fast track and will get even faster under the lights. I think there’s going to be a lot of grip and the fans are going to see some good racing. There should be lots of side by side racing. It’s going to be a good show. That’s for sure.”
