Travis Kvapil returns to the No. 50 and Gateway

Back On Track…The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) returns to the track this weekend in Madison, Illinois, just outside of St. Louis, for the Drivin’ For Linemen 200. Travis Kvapil will make his 6th NCWTS start at the Gateway Motorsports Park.

This Week’s Silverado…The No. 50 Burnie Grill Chevrolet will unload a chassis named “Petunia” as all of MAKE’s Chassis are named after pigs. Petunia was last seen on track at Dover International Speedway and driven by Donnie Neuberger. Petunia had some front end issues throughout the weekend that ultimately forced an early retirement from the race.

Grilling Up Something… Burnie Grills is the new all wood, self-burning grill. MAKE has also launched the adventures of Burnie through their social media accounts including Snapchat. Follow along with #BurniesAdventures.

Joining In… Elite Holdings, BUBBA Burger, WIX Filters, AKL Insurance, Beaver Bail Bonds, and Markanda Social Strategies are all associates on the No. 50 Chevrolet.

Watch and Listen… The Drivin’ For Linemen 200 can be seen live on Saturday, June 13th on FOX Sports 1. Race coverage will begin at 8 p.m. EST, and the event can also be heard live on MRN Radio as well as SiriusXM Radio, channel 90.

Drivin For Linemen … The Drivin’ For Linemen campaign, is the brainchild of a former electrical linemen, Chad Dubea. His concern and priority is to honor all electrical linemen, past, present, future, and fallen. He is committed to the cause of raising the awareness of what linemen do and how we wouldn’t have one of our most basic necessities now without them. The linemen work around the clock risking their lives in good and bad weather. They are now listed as a first responder. The support for linemen with the Drivin For Linemen Campaign was carried out through the MAKE Motorsports team in 2014. The Drivin For Linemen 200 is a product of Dubea’s dedication to support all linemen.

Travis Kvapil on Racing at Gateway Motorsports Park:
“I’m excited to get back in the No. 50 Burnie Grill Chevrolet this weekend for MAKE. We were able to support the linemen last year so it is special for this team to be able to come here and continue to do so.”
