International Motorsports Hall of Fame 250 Pre-Race Report
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (May 1, 2012) – NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Joey Coulter returns to the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards Friday in the No. 61 Rip It Energy Fuel Chevrolet for the International Motorsports Hall of Fame 250 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Coulter, the 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series rookie of the year, is no stranger to ARCA competition, as it marks the place where he got his professional racing career start. In Coulter’s two full-time seasons in the series, he earned nearly two dozen top 10s including a win at Berlin Raceway in 2010.
In three ARCA Racing Series starts at the 2.66-mile Talladega Superspeedway, Coulter has a best finish of eighth coming in his rookie season in 2009. He returns to the high banks this weekend with crew chief Harold Holly, a Pell City, Ala., native, who leads his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series team with Richard Childress Racing.
Coulter will be piloting the No. 61 Rip It Energy Fuel Chevrolet which will be adorned with a special Power paint scheme representing the energy drink’s 15 awesome flavors consumers can choose from. Rip It also will be on board with Coulter’s three remaining ARCA races in 2012 at Toledo Speedway, Michigan International Speedway and Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis.
“I’m looking forward to representing Coulter Motorsports and Rip It Energy Fuel in the ARCA Racing Series again this weekend,” Coulter said. “Talladega Superspeedway always produces some adrenaline-filled, highly competitive racing and I’m excited to be a part of that.”
Talladega Superspeedway’s ARCA Racing Series activity begins Thursday with practice from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and qualifying at 5:05 p.m. A final practice precedes the main event on Friday (10 – 10:55 a.m.) and the International Motorsports Hall of Fame 250 will officially get underway at 4 p.m. (All times Central.)
