Aaron Fike on Racing at The Milwaukee Mile:

“I’m really looking forward to racing at The Milwaukee Mile.  I raced a midget car there in 2004, so I’m familiar with the track, but it’s a whole different ball game driving a truck.  I’m going to take it easy during the first practice session and just try to feel everything out and log some laps.  I should be able to adapt pretty quickly and hopefully we’ll come out of Milwaukee with another top-10 finish.”

Chassis No. 43:

Red Horse Racing’s Crew Chief, Jamie Jones, has selected Chassis No. 43 for this Friday’s event at The Milwaukee Mile.  This Toyota Tundra is a trusted favorite amongst the Red Horse Racing team.  It was raced nine times last year, and brought the team a victory at Martinsville Speedway in the Kroger 250 with driver, David Starr on April 1st, 2006.  This truck last raced at Mansfield Motorsports Park in May where Aaron Fike ran in the top-five before running out of fuel with two laps to go.
