Welcome Back, One Eighty: For the third consecutive race, One Eighty will be
the primary sponsor of the No. 81 Randy Moss Motorsports Toyota Tundra for this
weekend's race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. One Eighty Racing has sponsored the
first two races of the 2009 NASCAR Camping World TruckSeries season, at Daytona
International Speedway and Auto Club Speedway, where Malsam finished 10th and
24th respectively.
Clay Shoot for Charity: This Thursday, Tayler Malsam will participate in
Speedway Children's Charities' Annual Clay Shoot and Barbecue at the Cherokee
Rose Sporting Resort in Griffin, Ga. The Seattle, Wash. native will learn from
the best as the Olympic Shooting Team will be on hand to train the participants.
Malsam will use his competitive nature to raise money for local children's
charities, as this event is sponsored by the Atlanta chapter of SCC. For more

And the Winner Will Be : Last week, Ray Dunlap and the rest of the SPEED
Channel NCWTS team predicted their championship and Raybestos Rookie of the Year
award winners. SPEED personalities, Adam Alexander and Rick Allen both picked
Malsam to win the prestigious Rookie award. The 20-year-old will look to prove
Alexander and Allen correct, as he currently sits third in the standings, only
nine points behind leader J.R. Fitzpatrick.
Boss in Town: Randy Moss, NFL All-Pro Wide Receiver and co-owner of RMM,
is scheduled to be at the American Commercial Lines 200 this Saturday at Atlanta
Motor Speedway. Malsam and teammate Mike Skinner will look to take their Tundras
to Victory Lane and give their owner his first trip to the Winner's Circle.
Malsam at Atlanta: Malsam has never before raced at Atlanta Motor
Speedway. Friday's morning practice sessions at the 1.54-mile quad-oval will be
the first laps on the fast-banked track for the Raybestos Rookie of the Year
contender.
Tayler Malsam on Racing at AMS: "Well, I've never raced at Atlanta so I
really don't know what to expect overall. Because I have raced at other mile and
a half tracks, I do have some experience on similar tracks, but what I've heard
is that Atlanta is a little different than other intermediate tracks. Atlanta is
a very fast track and there have been close finishes before there, so the racing
should be really exciting for the fans. Doug (Wolcott, crew chief) and all of my
Randy Moss Motorsports guys have been working really hard and I know they are
going to give me an awesome One Eighty Toyota. I'm really looking forward to
racing this weekend."
