Go Big or Go Home… Miguel Paludo and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) head to NASCAR’s biggest track for this weekend’s Coca-Cola 250 powered by fred’s on Saturday afternoon. Paludo has one previous start at the 2.66-mile tri-oval, where he finished 18th in 2010. In the series’ only other superspeedway stop on the schedule in 2012, Daytona International Speedway, Paludo became the first Brazilian to win an NCWTS pole. Paludo led for much of the race before a huge crash relegated him to a 30th-place finish.

This Week’s Silverado…Paludo and the No. 32 Duroline Brakes and Components team will unload chassis TMS-004 for this weekend’s race at Talladega Superspeedway. TMS-004 served as the No. 32 team’s backup truck at Daytona International Speedway in February.
Diabetes Fact of the Week…The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), a large prevention study of people at high risk for diabetes, showed that lifestyle intervention to lose weight and increase physical activity reduced the development of type 2 diabetes by 58% during a 3-year period. The reduction was even greater, 71%, among adults aged 60 years or older.
Previous Race Recap…Under a full moon in Las Vegas, Paludo battled back from illness and late-race damage in a caution-filled race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to earn his 12th top-15 finish of the season. With a fast truck, impressive pit stops by the Turner Motorsports crew and the driver’s own endurance, Paludo, who felt ill prior to the start of the Smith’s 350, powered through a string of early-race cautions and recovered from damage received in a lap 116 accident to finish 11th in Saturday night’s event in Sin City.

Miguel Paludo on driving at Talladega Superspeedway –
“This weekend’s Talladega race is something I’ve been looking forward to pretty much since we left Daytona in February. The entire Turner Motorsports team was so strong when we went superspeedway racing at the beginning of the year, and I think that all three of our trucks had a chance to win that day. I’d like to get another pole and finish what we started in February.”
