Colin Braun - NCTS ADVANCE
Team: No. 6 Con-way Freight Ford F-150
Crew Chief: Mike Beam
Chassis: RK-39 Last outing: ORP, July '07 - finished third with Travis Kvapil
Also: Braun tested this truck at Martinsville two weeks ago

Braun on racing at Martinsville Speedway: "I am really happy with the test we had at Martinsville a few weeks ago.  We ran a lot of laps and I was able to run around some veterans which was helpful for me.  Not only could I see how they got through the corners, but it also helped us compare our truck to theirs.  The test gave me a lot of confidence that we have a truck that is going to be
really fast and it will drive well.  Now I can focus more on the race, and the driving part will take care of itself with a fast, competitive truck. Hopefully this race will turn out better than the last truck race I ran there last fall in my very first start."

Crew Chief Mike Beam on racing at Martinsville Speedway: "We had a really good test at Martinsville and I feel we are ready for the race.  This is a pretty good short-track truck, and Colin ran a
bunch of laps during the two-day test so he's pretty familiar with the track now.  He also has a bit more experience there since he ran the truck race there last fall.  All those factors should work in our favor this weekend."
