The No. 93 BK Racing team has demonstrated a consistent pattern this season. The first time that the 2012 startup team shows up at a track, they start with a fresh notebook and search via trial and error to find the best setup for the Burger King/Dr Pepper Toyota. When they revisit a track for the next race, they show up armed and ready, and their results reflect a better-prepared team.
Landon Cassill, driver of the No. 83 Burger King/Dr Pepper Toyota, is feeling good about this weekend's Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. His team has finished inside the top 25 in five of the last six events. Cassill aims to continue his team's hot streak this Sunday and close out the remaining races of 2012 with a bang.

Unfortunately, late-race contact with another competitor, as well as the outside wall, broke Allgaier's momentum while racing in the top-10. He went on to finish 11th.
