Team heading to track for first time since Bristol
CERRO GORDO, N.C. (September 27, 2011) – After taking the month of September off from the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS), the Ricky Benton Racing (RBR) Enterprises team and driver Clay Rogers are ready to tackle October head-on beginning with this weekend’s running of the Kentucky 225 at Kentucky Speedway.
Despite the hiatus, the team has been busy.
“We have been working really hard on the trucks at the shop,” said Rogers, “concentrating on getting the best piece to the track for Kentucky. With the extra time, we’ve done some things that we weren’t able to do when were we running more races.
“I’m looking forward to seeing what we’ve got in the No. 92 truck. The weight is down and there are some things that we moved around in the suspension. We’re hoping all the work we’ve put into the trucks will pay off at the track.”
QMI returns as the primary sponsor for the Kentucky race.
“We are pleased to be sporting the QMI colors again this week at Kentucky,” said RBR owner Ricky Benton. “We were able to get a good finish for them at Bristol and I am hopeful that we can do it again at Kentucky.”
