* Leffler's Nationwide Series Dover Highlights

In ten Nationwide Series starts at Dover International Speedway (DIS), Jason Leffler has three top five and four top-10 finishes. His best performance at the one-mile track came in 2005 when he started 12th and finished 3rd in Braun Racing's No. 32 entry.

According to NASCAR Loop Data Statistics, Leffler is ranked in the top-10 in several categories including Closers (5th), Fastest Lap Run (10th), Green Flag Passes (5th), Laps in Top-15 (8th) and Passes in turn 4 (1st).

* Dover the Site of Leffler's First Career NASCAR Win

Leffler captured his first NASCAR victory at Dover. In 2003, Leffler won the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race after starting 10th and leading 57 laps.

LEFFLER ON DOVER INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY

"Dover is a track with a mind of its own. It's similar to Bristol with the high banking but it's much faster. It's actually easy to forget that it's only a one mile-track because of the speeds you are carrying. The biggest thing there is being able to charge hard into the corners so you can keep up your momentum on the straight-aways. Getting the car to handle as you come off the corners is the key to success at Dover so we will spend a lot of our practice time working on that. This Great Clips team has had some strong runs at this race track but we just don't have the finishes to show for it. We look to change that this weekend!"

EQUIPMENT INFORMATION

The No. 38 Great Clips team will unload chassis # 23 in this weekend's Roadloans.com 200. This is the same chassis Leffler piloted in both of this season's Bristol events where he finished sixth and 15th.
