STACY COMPTON ON RACING IN NASHVILLE: "We're taking the same
truck to Nashville that we ran at Kentucky. We were really strong there, and we
feel like we'll have just as strong of a package at Nashville. Nashville is a
really fast track and you can create speed at the exit of the corners. If you
can get back on the throttle early in the corner, you're going to be fast going
down the straightaway."
COMPTON TO PARTICIPATE IN NASH-CAR PARTY: Stacy Compton is one of
several NASCAR drivers taking part in an unprecedented event on Thursday, July
30th to benefit the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. This

No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance Toyota Tundra will even be on display. A limited
number of exclusive VIP packages are available and will include premium seating
as well as a VIP Meet & Greet with the artists and drivers. To purchase tickets,

NASCAR memorabilia including race used sheet metal and autographed items. The
festivities begin at 5 p.m.
THE CREW CHIEF'S CHOICE FOR NASHVILLE: Marcus Richmond, Crew
Chief of the No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance Company / Wyler.com Toyota Tundra, has
selected chassis number 84 for the Toyota Tundra 200. This chassis was last
raced at Kentucky Speedway where it qualified sixth and was charging to the
front before being taken out while battling for second place. Compton rallied
back to finish 12th, despite having a damaged truck. Since the truck ran so
well, Richmond immediately sent it to the fabricator who repaired it to race at
Nashville.
