California Love



Hello everyone. Well Daytona was not the result we where looking for, but we ran all the laps. It was a good learning experience; I knocked the dust off a little bit and got some more superspeedway time. We really didn't have a bad car just some misfortune. I kept blowing the pitstops by coming in too fast and over shooting the box, which cost us a lot of time. I also didn't have radio communication so that made working on the car during pitstops hard. Anyways I am here in California just got back from an appearance at Toyota HQ in Torrance. It was a lot of fun, we got to meet a lot of the employees and there families. For the rest of the week I will be hanging out with my team, doing a little media, and watching my ARCA buddies in the Truck race and pulling for our #00 in the cup race. Keep cheering on the MWR drivers we need everyone to keep making races. Points, points, points,

Thanks

Ready To Race




I am writing from sunny Daytona Beach, FL. I feel like I have been here all month. I can't wait to get back into the race car. It has been fun here so far though. I have done a lot of media, TV, radio, etc. I also guest commentated the ARCA race for Speed Channel, which was a lot of fun. Saturday qualifying was very exciting to watch Michael and David get into the race. Now we need DJ to race his way in on Thursday, which I know he will do. It is awesome to see how well the team is working together and how far they have come in such a short period of time. It is cool that I can be apart of all this. With all that said, I am ready to race. Nationwide practice does not start until Wednesday but I can't wait to get behind the wheel. We signed a new partner this week for the Nationwide race “RIMCO”. RIMCO has come on board as the primary sponsor of the #00 MWR Toyota Camry. RIMCO is a new division of Aaron's that retails and leases after market tires and wheels. Check out gorimco.com it’s your one stop location for wheels, tires, accessories and more for less. Thanks for all the continued support and make sure you cheer on all the MWR drivers on Thursday.


Thanks
