David Starr, who is returning to Red Horse Racing as driver of the No. 11 Toyota Tundra, will take part in a two-day test starting on Monday, December 10th at Rockingham Speedway in preparation for his run for the 2008 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Championship. Starr ran the full season for Red Horse Racing in 2006, winning one race, and finishing fourth in the Championship Point Standings.

"I can't wait to test at Rockingham," said Starr. "This will be my first chance to climb back into the Red Horse Racing Toyota since we raced together back in 2006. I'm really excited about the opportunity and can't thank Tom DeLoach and everybody at Red Horse Racing enough for giving me the chance to race for them again."

"For us, this test is not just about finding speed, it's more about helping us get reacquainted with David," explained Crew Chief, Jamie Jones who led Starr's top-five run in 2006. "Once David straps into the truck, we will be able to see if we need to make any adjustments to the pedals, shifter, and steering wheel. It will give us a head start when we go to Daytona in a few weeks to test. We'll also be trying out some different set-ups that we can implement during the '08 season."

Located in Rockingham, North Carolina, "The Rock" as it was dubbed, has been a test track for NASCAR teams since 2006 when NASCAR implemented a ban on testing at all active tracks on the circuit, except for a few "open tests" sanctioned by NASCAR and scheduled throughout the year.

For the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, there are only three "open tests" in 2008 with the first taking place at Daytona International Speedway with NASCAR Preseason Thunder on Friday, January 11th through Sunday, January 13th. The remaining two tests will take place at Atlanta Motor Speedway on January 22nd and 23rd, and Martinsville Speedway on March 12th and 13th.

Testing at Rockingham will allow Red Horse Racing to prepare for the new season. "The Rock", which is a high-banked, D-shaped track one-mile in length, is known to be fast but extremely abrasive on tires; similar to what teams will experience at Atlanta Motor Speedway, just three races into the new year. With about half of the race dates at tracks one mile and over, testing at Rockingham could pay dividends later in the year.
