The engine ran great the first time out. I’m very happy with the power and service Roush Yates provides and I hope to get another opportunity to race this engine again soon. ”

East also drives a Roush Yates USAC Silver Crown engine and is honored to be the one to give Roush Yates Engines their first win with the new Sprint 410 engine.

“Considering the strong competition in the Sprint 410 series, I am very pleased to have a win with our new engine and Bobby East after only four races,” said Jeremy Anderson, Sprint Car Program Manager for Roush Yates Engines. “I look forward to this engine having continuous success.

DOVER, Del. (September 21, 2010) – – As the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship continues at Dover International Speedway with Denny Hamlin in first, Marcos Ambrose and JTG Daugherty Racing have a chase of their own seeking a victory in the premiere division before the curtain closes on the 2010 season.

“Nine races remain and we are chasing after our first victory,” said Ambrose, who is 25th in the drivers points standings. “There are not many races left and we are competing against the top 12 championship contending teams that have saved the best for last. It’s going to be tough, but we’re up for the challenge.”

Ambrose, who is piloting the No. 47 Bush’s Baked Beans Toyota Camry on Sunday, was on the right path these past couple of weeks. One top-five and two top-10s in a row made the Australian driver optimistic entering New Hampshire Motor Speedway last weekend, but a 30th-place finish at the 1.058-mile track surprisingly interrupted his streak.

“We had a tough time at New Hampshire and didn’t expect our weekend to go the way it did,” Ambrose said. “It just wasn’t our day and we struggled with handling. We are looking to bounce back at Dover.”

Now, the Monster Mile has crept up on the 36-race schedule where Toyota drivers swept the weekend in May with Kyle Busch winning both the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series races (and Aric Almirola picked up the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory). Ambrose’s best NASCAR Sprint Cup Series finish in a Toyota Camry at the 24-degree banked concrete oval is 14th (9/27/09).

Last time out at Dover, two right front cut tires sent Ambrose sailing into the outside retaining wall twice, which ultimately knocked him out of the race and forced him to settle for a 36th-place finish.

“During the May race, we cut down two tires and it was a shame our day ended early,” Ambrose said. “The car was too damaged to continue on.”

Ambrose has finished 32nd, 20th, 14th and 36th (accident) respectively at Dover in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. He also has four starts at the Delaware track in the NASCAR Nationwide Series with a best finish of sixth-place (6/2/07).

“Dover is great, but I will admit that it is a really tough place to race,” Ambrose said. “My first time racing a Cup car there was a bigger challenge than I ever imagined and I went a few laps down. Over the years, I’ve got a good handle on it. I love the place and it on my top three list of favorite tracks.”

It is also a favorite track of JTG Daugherty Racing co-owners Jodi and Tad Geschickter, who will be making a detour to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. before arriving in Dover. The Walter Reed Army Medical Center is the hub of the Walter Reed Health Care System, which provides comprehensive health care for more than 150,000 soldiers, other service members, family members and retirees.

“We look forward to going to Dover and this time the trip will be extra special for me and my husband Tad because we have the opportunity to stop and make a visit at Walter Reed Army Medical Center thanks to NASCAR,” Jodi Geschickter said. “We both know it will be an overwhelming experience. We are grateful and humbled to have the opportunity to tell these brave men and women how much we appreciate their service to our country. Truly, we’ll never understand the depth of their sacrifice. It will be our privilege to spend the day with the troops.”

Live coverage on ESPN of the AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway on Sunday begins at 1 p.m. ET. MRN Radio and Sirius XM Satellite will also air the event.

Double Victory Weekend for No. 33 Team

Clint Bowyer’s pit crew won the Tissot Pit Road Precision Award in Sunday’s (Sept. 19) Sylvania 300 Sprint Cup race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

The No. 33 team out of the Richard Childress Racing stable also won the race with Bowyer claiming victory in the first of the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Bowyer’s Cheerios/Hamburger Helper Chevrolet spent the least amount of time at the Loudon, N.H. track –139.513 seconds.

Bowyer’s crew consists of: Jason Pulver (front-tire changer), Austin Craven (front-tire carrier), Dustin Necaise (rear-tire changer), Matt Kreuter (rear-tire carrier), Nick Terry (jackman), Bryan Smith (gasman) and Chad Haney (catch can).

With nine Sprint Cup races remaining in the 2010 season, Jeff Gordon’s No. 24 crew leads the Tissot standings with four wins. The crews for Matt Kenseth (No. 17) and Jamie McMurray (No. 1) are tied for second with three wins.

DODGE MOTORSPORTS QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“Dover will always be such an extraordinary track for me that holds such significance as far as my career goes. If you would have told me years ago that we’d be coming back into Dover after all these races without a win, I would have said, ‘Man, you’ve gotta be kidding me.’ We’ve had so much success at Bristol, the other high‐banked concrete track, you’d think we’d been able to win on the bigger one‐mile oval.”

Kurt Busch – No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger

ENGINEERING TALK

“Last week, the Chase started at Loudon, a one-mile flat track. This week, the 12 drivers have the challenge of Dover, another one-mile track. No problem, right? Nothing could be farther from the truth. The flat, tight, slow corners of Loudon give way this week to the high-banked, wide-open and very- fast corners of Dover where drivers talk about how the car “lands” on entry to Turn 1 and Turn 3. The engineering challenge this week is to maintain the incredibly high straightaway speeds through the high-banked corners at the Monster Mile.”

Howard Comstock, Dodge Motorsports Engineering

DODGE DRIVER QUOTES

“I’ve said all along that these next two races – this weekend’s race at Dover and the following week at Kansas – look to be our huge challenges during the Chase. Based off what we saw there in the spring race, Dover may just be the biggest hurdle that our Miller Lite Dodge Team faces.

“It’s all about consistency during the entire 10‐race stretch; logging those top‐fives and top‐10s. That’s definitely our goal heading into Dover this weekend. We need to come out of there on Sunday with another notch added to one of those columns.”

Kurt Busch, No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger

“Goodyear changed the tires around a little bit for this weekend, so hopefully we will get a better idea of where we need to be on Friday. I really like Dover; it’s a fun track. It feels like one of the fastest tracks on the circuit and it’s definitely one of the most physical places we run at as well.

Usually when someone wrecks at Dover, they get loose coming off the corner and slide up towards the wall. When the car slows down, they come back down the track. Everyone tries to guess where the car will go and inevitably more cars get involved in the accident. It can be like a domino effect. It’s a lot like a speedway race because there aren’t too many places to hide when trouble happens in front of you.”

Sam Hornish Jr. No. 77 Mobil 1 Dodge Charger

“I really think I am getting more and more confident on the Cup side. That’s probably the most important thing that having a year in Cup has given me. I feel like I can go out the first lap in practice and drive my car a lot harder than I used to. Everything just seems like it has become slower for me and that gives me a better feel for everything.”

Brad Keselowski, No 12 Penske Dodge Charger
