In three starts at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Travis Kvapil has accumulated one top-five and three top-15 finishes.

The No. 09 team will be bringing chassis RK225-33 to Atlanta. This chassis last raced at Homestead in November of 2007, where T.J. Bell finished 17th.

Kvapil and the No. 09 team will look to put on a strong showing in front of Zaxby's hometown crowd at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

In 122 career Craftsman Truck Series starts, Kvapil has accumulated nine wins, 48 top-five and 77 top-10 finishes.

"Atlanta is a really fun racetrack. Next to Daytona, it's one of the most fun racetracks we go to. You can run anywhere, up to the wall or down around the bottom of the track. It's a rough track, it doesn't have a lot of grip so the trucks slide around a lot and handling is very important. Drafting will also play an important part in this race since it's another high-speed track. It really makes for an exciting race."

"We had a really good test in Atlanta about a month ago. We are taking the same truck we tested with, we were pretty happy with the results we saw from it. We are all excited to have Travis back in the truck this week. After a strong run in Fontana with a last minute driver change I feel like we can really be prepared this week and give all the Zaxby's people something to cheer for at their home track."
