Stremme Will Line Up 27th For Saturday Night's Race at LMS

CONCORD, N.C. (October 15, 2009) -- David Stremme driver of the No.12 Penske Dodge Charger, secured the 27th starting position for Saturday night's 500-mile event at the 1.5-mile Lowe's Motor Speedway just north of Charlotte North Carolina.

During Thursday night's qualifying session, Stremme posted a fast lap time of 28.636 seconds at a speed of 188.574 miles per hour. His qualifying effort put him on the inside of the 14th row for the start of Saturday night's 334-lap event.

"The car was a bit tight in the middle of turns 1 and 2," commented David Stremme after his two qualifying laps. "We did not have as much practice today as usual because of the rain and only got to make a couple of mock qualifying runs. We definitely have made significant improvements to our race car from the spring race and I feel like we have a package that will be competitive on Saturday night."
