*Cam Strader returned to form last week at NEW RIVER VALLEY SPEEDWAY. He has several reasons to get to victory lane at Myrtle Beach. He will be looking to defend his title as last year's race winner. His team sponsor is also the sponsor of the event. The chase for the 2001 Championship is closing in as only five races remain in the season. "I feel the pressure," said Strader. "We had some setbacks for a couple events and the points tightened up. I just keep reminding myself to stay focused on winning and running well. You have to try hard to keep that focus and not let the pressure get to you."
