Betting on Red… Miguel Paludo heads to Sin City for race 17 of 22 on the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) schedule. Paludo has one previous start at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, finishing 27th after being caught up in an early on-track incident which forced him to retire after only 29 laps.
Paintball Pros…Paludo and his Turner Motorsports teammates will be teaming up with paintball star Greg Hastings in Las Vegas for a head-to-head battle prior to the September 29th race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Paludo, along with Nelson Piquet Jr., James Buescher and his wife Kris will join forces with SPEED on-air talent Ray Dunlap and Rick Allen to take on each other and some of paintball’s most prestigious professional players including Hastings, Bea Youngs, Kat Secor and Sonny Lopez. The event, which will be held at Las Vegas Premier Paintball in Las Vegas Sports Park, is open to spectators and will feature a 30-minute autograph session with the Turner Motorsports drivers and paintball players. The autograph session will be followed by four to six combat-style games between the drivers, media and pros.
Get Your Game On… This weekend in Las Vegas, Paludo will carry the latest release in Hastings’ video game franchise, Greg Hastings Paintball 2, on the truck bed of the No. 32 Duroline Brakes and Components Chevrolet. Greg Hastings Paintball 2 is available worldwide for PS3 on PSN, and will soon be launching a version for iOS.
This Week’s Silverado…Paludo and the No. 32 Duroline Brakes and Components team will unload chassis TMS-219 for this weekend’s race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This is a brand-new chassis which will be making its first laps of competition in this weekend’s Smith’s 350.

Previous Race Recap…Paludo earned his fourth top-10 finish of the season in a caution-filled event at Kentucky Speedway. After overcoming extremely loose handling and avoiding an early-race wreck-fest, Paludo was one of the strongest trucks in the field, crossing the finish line eighth, which catapulted him from 11th to ninth in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver point standings.

Miguel Paludo on driving at Las Vegas Motor Speedway-
“There is no doubt that I feel most comfortable on the mile-and-a-half speedways, and every time we visit one it’s proof that this is where Turner Motorsports excels as an organization. I feel very confident going into Las Vegas after last weekend’s race in Kentucky. Las Vegas is also very similar to Atlanta, and even though we didn’t have the result we wanted there, we learned a lot that should help us perform really well this weekend.”
