* NEXTEL Open: Last weekend at Lowe's Motor Speedway, Stremme battled to finish sixth in his first NEXTEL Open on Saturday night under the lights. He started the 30-lap event ninth and was able to work his way up three spots to bring home a strong finish in his Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon Dodge.

David Stremme Quote:
"The Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon Dodge was really strong last weekend at the NEXTEL Open. We had a successful test as well at Lowe's a couple weeks ago. I feel confident that we will continue this success this weekend at the 600.
"This program is really starting to come together and the guys continue to work hard week in and week out to get strong finishes. Hopefully, we will get a top-15 finish and make up some ground in the points standings."
