Due North (@TriStarRaceTeam):
Anxious to cool down, TriStar crews are packing their bags to head North to New England. As one of the older tracks on the NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule, New Hampshire Motor Speedway offers more than cool weather to our four-car team. After last weekend’s event at one of the largest tracks on the circuit (Daytona), Saturday afternoon’s CNBC Prime’s The Profit 200 will be a change in pace, as our cars parade around the 1.058-mile track coined “The Magic Mile” in Loudon, New Hampshire.
Bliss: Solid in the Granite State (@MikeBliss19):
After a solid outing at Daytona, Mike Bliss is back on track for this weekend’s race in New Hampshire. The Granite State has posed consistency in the past for Bliss. “New Hampshire is a track that’s challenging to pass,” said Bliss. “I like it; the variable banking makes racing there fun.”
Bliss will make his ninth start at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. In his previous attempts, Bliss has earned one top-five and two top-10 finishes. Bliss’ best finish came in 2004 when he placed fourth.
Green: The Stats Don’t Lie:
Jeff Green will make his ninth start at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for Saturday afternoon’s CNBC Prime’s The Profit 200.
“New Hampshire is a great track,” said Green. “The track is relatively flat and the corners are slightly narrow, making it fun to race.”
The Kentucky native has led 295 laps at “The Magic Mile” and has earned one pole position. Green has also scored four top-five and four top-10 finishes. Green earned his best finish in 2000 when he placed second.
Hackenbracht Makes his Debut (@Hockensomethin)
Chad Hackenbracht will make his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut this weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The 21-year-old is anxious and eager to get behind the wheel of the No. 44 Tastee Apple Inc. Toyota Camry and show the NASCAR Nation what he’s got.
“I’ve been waiting for this weekend for a long time,” said Hackenbracht. “From the looks of it, this track seems a little like O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis, but bigger. I understand it drives like nothing I’ve ever raced before, so that makes me even more excited to hit the track.”
Hackenbracht previously competed in the ARCA Racing Series where he scored his first win at Pocono in 2012. Making the move to NASCAR, Hackenbracht has already made his first Camping World Truck Series start. Teamed with Kyle Busch Motorsports, Hackenbracht qualified 21st and finished 26th after being caught up in a crash at lap 40 at Texas Motor Speedway last month.
McClure: Hopes to Improve NHMS Effort (@ericmcclure):
Piloting a car that last saw Iowa Speedway; New Hampshire Motor Speedway has produced respective efforts for Eric McClure in the past two seasons. As one of the Virginia native’s best tracks, Eric McClure looks forward to Saturday afternoon’s CNBC Prime’s The Profit 200. McClure will make his seventh career start at New Hampshire’s 1.058-mile speedway. Coming off a 24th place finish at Daytona, McClure looks forward to the close racing “The Magic Mile” produces.
The 24th start at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the NASCAR Nationwide Series will be McClure’s 216th career start. McClure’s best finish at New Hampshire is 20th and he earned it at this event in 2011.
