[media-credit name=”FASLaneRacing.com” align=”alignright” width=”182″][/media-credit]Mooresville, North Carolina (February 15, 2012) – Just as they did to begin the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season last year, FAS Lane Racing is proud to announce they are heading to Daytona for the 2012 season opening race with Terry Labonte. The two time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion will pilot the No. 32 Ford for the 54th running of the Daytona 500. In addition to the team and driver reunion, FAS Lane Racing welcomes back C & J Energy Services as the Primary Sponsor for the annual season opener at the Daytona International Speedway.
C&J Energy Services, a Corpus Christi, Texas founded company, will continue their support of their “Hometown Hero” Terry Labonte, born and raised in Corpus Christi, as he will pilot the No. 32 C&J Energy Services Ford. The trio of FAS Lane Racing, Terry Labonte and C&J Energy Services joined forces for a handful of races last season and collectively they look forward to kicking off the 2012 season together.
“It is a great privilege for our FAS Lane Racing team to be heading to Daytona once again with Terry Labonte and have C & J Energy join us again this season,” stated team owner Frank Stoddard. “We had a solid Top 15 run last year for the Daytona 500 with Terry and that really set the tone for our whole season. The entire organization has worked hard during the off season to improve and grow our team and another great performance to start the season is expected.”
Entering their second full season of competition in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, FAS Lane Racing established itself last season as a consistent performer on a weekly basis in the top level of racing. The end result had the young team finishing the season in the top 35 of the owner’s point standings.
The running of the 54th annual Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway will run Sunday February 26th at 1:00 p.m. ET. The race can be viewed LIVE nationally on FOX and heard on affiliated MRN radio stations and on Sirius XM NASCAR Radio 90.

About FAS Lane Racing: FAS Lane Racing was established in 2011 when Frank Stoddard’s old team, Latitude 43 Motorsports, closed its doors. Stoddard formed his own team with the remaining crew members and purchased the cars and equipment from Roush Racing. Stoddard chose the No. 32 in tribute to his racing mentor Stub Fadden, who was a Busch North Series racer from New England who used the number 16, hence 16 x 2 = 32. FAS Lane Racing used a variety of drivers to secure a position in the Top 35 in owner’s points thus ensuring them a guaranteed starting spot heading into the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
