Gaughan scored his seventh career Craftsman Truck Series win and second career truck series pole at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2003, leading 106 laps en route to the victory.

Circle Bar Racing is proud to display the South Point logo on the rear quarterpanels of its two trucks this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Gaughan currently occupies the 14th position in the driver point standings, 213 points out of top 10.

Gaughan's Thoughts on LVMS:

ON THE UPDATED TRACK CONFIGURATION DEBUTED IN 2006. "I liked it last year. It was fantastic. I did like the old track. I had more laps than anybody on the old surface, but this new track, last year I was four wide and nobody else would run that way. In the end, it was typical luck for me; last year we got a flat under caution. It's just the stuff that happens to me and Bryan Berry right now; it dumbfounds us. Hopefully we can go out there and run as good as we did last year and not have the flat under caution and see if we can't win this."

ON THE IMPORTANCE OF RACING IN LAS VEGAS. "I always look forward to this race. This is the one that I told all the guys and girls on the team, I told everybody, this is the one that I really want to perform at. I want to perform at every race every year, but if there's one that you can spend that little bit of extra time massaging the truck and doing the little things, this is the one to do it on because I really want to win this one."

THOUGHTS ON COMPETING FOR AN ORGANIZATION OTHER THAN HIS FAMILY-OWNED TEAM AT LAS VEGAS. "It will have a little bit of a different feel just because it will be the first time that we're not going to be in our own stuff, but it's Las Vegas and it's still my home. It's still where my family lives, so everybody will be at the race. Even though I'm not driving the South Point truck - I'm in a Circle Bar truck - but the MaxxForce Ford still has South Point on the side. It's still us and it will be fine. Like I've said a lot, the biggest common factor between Circle Bar and the South Point team is that it's still a family-owned and family-operated team. It still has the same feel. Rick (Crawford) and the Mitchell family have done a great job of making us feel comfortable. We're going to Vegas and that's my hometown, so it's a big, important weekend for me. We spent a lot of time the last couple of weeks getting that truck ready for Vegas. Bryan (Berry) had the truck on the pull-down rig before we left to go to New Hampshire to make sure we were ready. Roush-Yates worked real hard to get us an engine early and they feel real good about the engine that they gave us for Vegas. We're really happy about everything. Heck, all that we have to do now is go win the race. That's kinda the last little part because we've got everything else done - the talking part - so now let's go win it again. I sure would love to get that win in Vegas for Circle Bar."
