NASCAR O'Reilly Series

Carroll Shelby and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway - this weekend when the No. 98 Carroll Shelby Engine Company Ford Mustang makes its third start of the 2012 racing season in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.

Won from the pole in most recent NNS start at New Hampshire Motors Speedway (race No. 17) and led 131 of 200 laps. Pole was his first of the 2012 NNS season.

When the green flag flies for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) on Sunday, it will mark the 200th start for the Toyota Camry in NSCS competition. Since entering the series in 2007, Camry drivers have combined to capture 44 wins, 196 top-five results, 370 top-10 finishes and 38 pole positions in six seasons at NASCAR's highest level.

Turner Motorsports announced today that Nelson Piquet Jr. will return to the cockpit of the No. 30 Turner Motorsports Chevrolet Impala at the upcoming NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) event at Bristol Motor Speedway. This will be Piquet Jr.'s second NNS start of 2012, and the fourth of his career.

“I’m honored to be driving the Pilot Flying J M&M’S® Snack Mix Ford Mustang this weekend. It’s really exciting to have Mars Chocolate North America and the new M&M’S® Brand Snack Mix partner with Pilot Flying J to make this program a reality."

Turner Motorsports will field the No. 30 Chevrolet with driver Alex Tagliani for the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal on August 18, 2012.

Super Weekend 2012 seemed like the perfect idea. We would see Nationwide cars accompany the Sprint Cup cars at Indianapolis along with the Rolex Sports car Series in the same weekend. All of the different series racing on the same weekend and at the same track would bring some problems but we didn’t think it would create as many issues as it has.

When the No. 01 G&K Services Chevrolet of JD Motorsports w/ Gary Keller takes the historic green flag as part of the NASCAR Nationwide Series first appearance at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday, Mike Wallace will be making a mini-milestone start of his own.

No. 99 Boost Mobile driver Travis Pastrana knew embarking on a NASCAR career would be tough. Not long after beginning a Nationwide and K&N schedule, he surrounded himself with people who could make his transition from X Games superstar and rally driver to NASCAR driver a bit easier.

“It would be huge to win the inaugural Nationwide race at Indy. Indianapolis Motor Speedway is such an historical piece in racing’s history. It would be an honor to win there. I’ve never made any laps at the track but we have four hours of practice on Thursday so hopefully I can get a good feel for it."
