No. 30 AccuDoc Solutions Chevrolet News and Notes
- Jason Leffler looks to one-up his best finish at ‘the World’s Fastest Half-Mile’… Going into this weekend’s Food City 250, Leffler is looking to better his last night-race finish at Bristol Motor Speedway (BMS), second-place in August 2010. This was the second time the veteran driver has finished in the runner-up position at BMS. He finished second in the August 2007 event after starting from the pole and leading 81 laps.
- On a roll at BMS… Leffler is holding onto an impressive run in ‘Thunder Valley,’ with just one finish outside the top-10 in his last eight starts at the half-mile track. In 16 starts, Leffler has three top-five and eighth top-10 finishes with 87 laps led.
- Number Swap… As in 2010, Leffler will share seat time in the No. 38 Great Clips Impala with Sprint Cup Series star, Kasey Kahne. In eight events throughout 2011, Leffler and his team, including crew chief Eddie Pardue, will make the jump to the No. 30 Chevrolet. The number swap proved valuable for Leffler and his team in 2010, in eight starts behind the wheel of the No. 10 machine he scored seven top-10 and three top-five finishes! In four starts in the No. 30 Chevrolet this season Leffler has three top-10 finishes.
- Loop Data at BMS… Leffler is in the top-10 in several categories in NASCAR’s pre-race loop data statistics at BMS including: average running position (10th), closers (8th), fastest lap run (7th), green flag passes (5th), number of laps led (9th) and laps inside the top-15 (5th).
- This week’s Impala… The No. 30 AccuDoc Solutions will hit the track with chassis TMS-116 this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway. This is the same chassis Leffler piloted at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis and the Nationwide Series first stop at Iowa Speedway.
- Turner Motorsports: In the hunt… In 24 Nationwide Series events in 2011, Turner Motorsports-prepared entries have notched three wins, 19 top-five and 47 top-10 finishes. All three of Turner Motorsports’ championship-contending drivers are inside the top-six in the driver point standings with Reed Sorenson in second, Justin Allgaier in fourth and Leffler in sixth.
Jason Leffler on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway
“The night race at Bristol is one of my favorite races of the year. We have had some awesome runs here and I know we are going to be in contention at the end of the night on Friday. It really suits my style of racing and brings me back to the old days of racing. Qualifying is always important because it is easy to go a lap down there and staying out of trouble is key. If we qualify well and stay out of trouble, there’s no reason we won’t be there at the end and hopefully taking this AccuDoc Solutions Chevy to victory lane.”

AdvoCare Allows David Starr to Focus at Bristol
Just as in many forms of sports, momentum is a key part of a NASCAR teams success and momentum is exactly what the SS Green Light team has heading into this weeks race at the worlds fastest half-mile racetrack. Over the last six races, the team has strung together six lead-lap finishes that include two top-fives and five top-tens. During the recent run, veteran driver David Starr has moved from nineteenth to eleventh in the NCWTS point standings and looks forward to continued success this week
The SS Green Light Racing No. 81 Toyota Tundra will have a fresh new look this week at the Bristol Motor Speedway as premier health and wellness company AdvoCare will back Starr’s effort. AdvoCare will also be supporting David in both the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races at Bristol this week as the fourteen-year NASCAR veteran attempts his first ever “triple” in all three touring series.
“I’ve been using and endorsing AdvoCare performance and wellness products for over nine years and I can honestly say I believe in them. They also have energy, weight loss and skin care products and I use them all. My favorite is AdvoCare Spark® which is a vitamin packet you mix in water,” explained Starr. “I’m a pretty energetic guy and I can feel the energy and focus I get from using AdvoCare products.”
Between his busy race schedule at BMS this week, Thursday evening David will make an appearance at the Food City Race Night where he will sign autographs in the AdvoCare booth from 6:00 to 8:00 on State Street in downtown Bristol.
“For a company as large, well established and successful as AdvoCare to choose SS Green Light Racing and the NCWTS to market their products to the NASCAR community is a great honor for both the team and myself. AdvoCare is a leader in the vitamin and supplement industry and we are going to do our best to put the AdvoCare Toyota Tundra up at the front of the field Wednesday night at Bristol.”
In nine previous NCWTS races at the .533-mile Bristol Motor Speedway, David’s average start is 15.6 and average finish is 14.8. He has one top-five and four top-ten finishes with his best finish of fifth coming in 2005.
“I’m so excited to get to Bristol this week; we’ve got a new partner, the team has so much momentum and our performance has improved tremendously as the season has gone on. Bristol is such a cool racetrack with so much history. There is always a lot of action and excitement both on and off the track, I can’t wait to get there.”
The Boot Campaign and Zachry will provide associate sponsorship on the AdvoCare No. 81Toyota this week.
The O’Reilly 200 is the 261st consecutive NCWTS start for the SS Green Light Racing team and the 281st career start for Starr in the Truck Series. David has four victories, 47 top-fives and 114 top-tens through his 14-year career including two top-fives and seven top-tens so far in 2011.
