SS Green Light Racing Crews are on the road to what they hope will be lucky Las Vegas for this Saturday's Qwik-Liner Las Vegas 350 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event. Sean Murphy will pilot the #07 ASI LIMITED; Akzo Nobel; Spectrum Metal Finishing Chevy for his first-ever time around the track. 3-Time ASA Champion and Truck Series Winner Butch Miller will be on top of the pit box for Murphy.

"It's going to be my first-ever time around the track," said Sean Murphy, driver of the #07 ASI LIMTED Chevy. "Actually it will be my first time to the city of Vegas. I'm looking forward to seeing the city, but most importantly I want to have a good finish. We've struggled a bit or come across bad luck in our last few races. We had a top ten this year at Mansfield and I'd like to get back on track at Vegas."

The Las Vegas event will mark round 19 of 25 as the season begins to head into the final quarter. The race has a new name and sponsor but it promises to deliver the same brand of thrilling NASCAR Camping World Truck Series action race fans have come to know and love. The event will be held in the evening on the 1.5-mile superspeedway and racing under the always adds excitement to the event. Todd Bodine won the race in 2005 by just 0.297 sec. over Ted Musgrave. Three drivers - Johnny Benson, Ron Hornaday and Matt Crafton - are locked in a tight points battle for the 2008 series championship and none of the have won a Craftsman Truck Series race at Las Vegas.
