Release date: September 19, 2006 Contact: Public Relations Nashville Superspeedway (615)547-7500
Although Chip Ganassi Racing does not have a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series car vying for the “Chase for the Championship” in 2006, that doesn’t deter them from looking for a few wins before the season wraps up.
Casey Mears and his #42 Havoline Dodge team is at the 1.33-mile concrete oval today looking to improve their chances to snag a future win at the Kansas Speedway. “We decided to come to the Nashville Superspeedway to basically “shakedown” the Havoline Dodge before we take her to Kansas. Reed Sorenson was coming here anyway with Steve Boyer, our head guy over the “Car of Tomorrow” program at Ganassi Racing, so we decided since Reed would be here testing the COT that it would be a great place to work on the #42 too”, explained Mears’ crew chief Donnie Wingo.
Testing is closed to the public.
