For the second time this year the series will showcase itself on FOX TV this Saturday afternoon from the Mansfield Motorsports Park. Tim Sauter and the Green Light Racing team will use the matinee event to promote Lester Buildings 2007 Race Fan Building Sweepstakes. Sauter's Silverado will feature an image of the $30,000 MSRP Grand Prize Lester "Town & Country" building to be awarded at the end of the 2007 racing season. After finishing 17th at Lowes Motor Speedway last week, Sauter is ready to get back to the track. "Our performance is starting to come around. I'm getting more comfortable in the truck and we're getting the trucks to turn in the corner. We should have a pretty good truck this week, we tested this truck a few weeks ago and I feel good about taking it to Mansfield," explained Sauter. "We're going to show-off the building that Lester is giving away this year on the No. 07 this week. It's the third year they have given away a building, but the first time we've done special paint to promote it. Tom Borgman, Lester Buildings' Marketing Director feels the time is right to feature the sweepstakes building on the truck. "We've had strong entries since we launched the sweepstakes in late April and between the building decal and a national FOX TV audience, we expect to generate an incremental increase in activity. And we're really excited to use the power of TV to visually show what kind of buildings we can provide." Fans can enter the sweepstakes by mailing a coupon from Tim Sauter's autograph card or by completing an online entry form found throughout the popular racing news site, JAYSKI.com, including the site's expanded Craftsman Truck section, or through the Lester Buildings website at lesterbuildings.com. Tim's thoughts on the Mansfield Motorsports Park: "We ran at Mansfield in the old ASA Series, it's a great little facility. We'll have two groves and you should see some good side-by-side action." The Ohio 250 will be televised live on FOX TV at 1:00 eastern on May 26th and also broadcast on MRN radio. Ron Hornaday is the defending race winner.
