Another Kind of Horse Power…The NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) returns to the Bluegrass State, visiting Kentucky Speedway for the second and final time this season. Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender Kyle Larson has two previous starts at Kentucky Speedway. Larson finished seventh at the 1.5-mile track earlier this year in the NNS and earned a top-10 finish in his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut last June.
All Clear…Clear Men Scalp Therapy shampoo is back on board the No. 32 Chevrolet this weekend, marking the third time Clear Men has been featured on Larson’s car this season. Clear Men products are designed to meet the hair and scalp needs for men, providing dandruff protection and leaving hair feeling and smelling great. Products include: Dry Scalp Hydration, Strong & Full, Clean & Refresh, Cool Sport Mint and Complete Care.
This Week’s Camaro…Crew chief Trent Owens and the No. 32 Clear Men Scalp Therapy Camaro team will be bringing a brand-new chassis to Kentucky Speedway this weekend. Chassis TSM-406 will make its on-track debut in the 200-lap race on Saturday night.
Come and See…Larson will join his Turner Scott Motorsports teammates at the NNS autograph session on Saturday, September 21 from 2:30-3:30 p.m. The autograph session will be held in the infield fan zone hospitality tent, located next to the ARCA garage.
Watch and Listen…The Kentucky 300 will be broadcast live on ESPNEWS on Saturday, September 21, with race coverage beginning at 7:00 p.m. EDT. You can also listen to the race by tuning in to PRN Radio or SiriusXM Satellite Radio, channel 90.
Previous Race Recap…Larson appeared to be on his way to the greatest comeback of the season as he overcame a spin in qualifying which resulted in a 39th-place starting position. Larson was fighting for the win in the top five, but his bad luck streak for the day continued when he experienced a smoking tire while running second. Dropping to the rear of the top 10, Larson’s tire eventually gave way, causing extensive damage to the SNICKERS Bites Chevrolet, forcing him to retire from the race with a 32nd-place finish at Chicagoland Speedway.
Kyle Larson on Kentucky Speedway
“I’m looking forward to getting back to Kentucky Speedway. It’s a fun track for me, since I made my first-ever Truck Series start there last summer. It seems like things have happened really quickly since then. We’re bringing a brand-new car this weekend, but I’m expecting good things from my Turner Scott Motorsports team. We ran pretty well there in June, so it will be fun to get back on track and put our bad day at Chicagoland behind us.”
