Brian Scott U.S. Cellular 250 Race Preview

Found August 02, 2012 on Start 'N' Park Blog:
PLAYERS: Ian Scott
TEAMS: San Diego Chargers

With 19 of 33 races completed, Brian Scott is currently ninth in the Nationwide Series Championship point standings. At this point in the season, Scott has two top-five finishes and five top-10 finishes. Scott earned his 2012 season-best result of third at Dover International Speedway on June 2. This weekend, Scott and the No. 11 Dollar General team head to Iowa Speedway for the second time this season. Scott placed 11th there in the May event.

MEET BRIAN SCOTT: Fans will have the opportunity to meet Brian Scott on Saturday, August 4 at Iowa Speedway. Scott will be participating in the Nationwide Series autograph session from 1:45-2:30 p.m. CT underneath Iowa Speedway’s frontstretch grandstands.

JOE GIBBS RACING AT IOWA SPEEDWAY: Joe Gibbs Racing’s Nationwide Series program has 13 starts at Iowa Speedway with one win, three top-five finishes, seven top-10 finishes and one pole. JGR entries have led 368 laps of competition in only five events at Iowa Speedway. The organization has an average start of 8.1 and an average finish of 9.8 on the .875 mile Heartland oval.

THIS WEEK ON THE NO. 11 DOLLAR GENERAL TOYOTA: Dollar General vendor partners Suave Men, Today and Always, Pull-Ups, Slim Jim, Nestle Drumstick, Gildan, Colgate, STP, Capri Sun, Airwick and Glad will be featured on Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 11 Toyota Camry this weekend at Iowa Speedway.

RACE INFO: The U.S. Cellular 250 at Iowa Speedway kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday, August 4. Watch and listen live on ESPN2, Sirius XM Channel 90 and MRN Radio starting at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Brian Scott on Iowa: “It was really exciting to be a part of the inaugural Nationwide Series event at Indy last week. We didn’t finish as well as we would have liked to, but we did move up one spot in the points standings. So that was good. We’re looking forward to getting back to Iowa this weekend. I really like racing there. It’s a short track but has faster speeds. One of the best parts about Iowa is the crowd. They always manage to have a sellout crowd. This time around it’s a night race, so that will make it even more exciting. We’re looking forward to getting a strong finish for Dollar General and our 11 team under the lights at Iowa Speedway this weekend.”

Kevin Kidd on Iowa: “In our last race at Iowa we had a decent car, but feel like we have room for improvement. We really enjoy racing at Iowa. The fan turnout there is always impressive. It sounds like the turn one tunnel bump has been corrected some. This will throw an added wrinkle into the setup plan for this weekend. Avoiding trouble and having a car that can rotate well while still maintaining good drive off the corner are the keys to Iowa.”
