David Stremme returns to the No. 30 Swan Racing Toyota at Phoenix International Raceway this week,
after Michael Waltrip began the season with a 21st place finish in the season
opener at Daytona International Speedway in the team’s renumbered No. 26 Sandy
Hook Memorial Fund Toyota.
Stremme will compete for Swan Racing
in the remainder of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, with no plans to "start
and park" as he has been forced to do in past seasons. New owner Brandon
Davis stepped in late last year, creating Swan Racing and stating his intention
to “race hard, every lap of every race” going forward.
"We are going to build a
championship contender over time,” said Davis, “and we'll do it by competing
against the best drivers in the world, not by packing up early."
"It's a new day for the No. 30 Toyota and we'll be mixing it up all season, said Stremme.
Drivers are competitive by nature. We feel the need to compete in everything we
do. I will get the most out of this Toyota all season starting at Phoenix International Raceway."
Stremme and Swan Racing represent an
"old school" approach to racing, stretching every dollar to put the
car on track each week.
"This is old school racing here
at Swan,” he said. “We all pitch in to build the cars at the shop each week and
race hard on the weekends.”
Swan Racing had a busy offseason
building a strong foundation for the team's success. Several key hires were
made that signal Swan Racing's commitment, including former NFL linebacker Bill
Romanowski as a minority owner, new competition director Steve Hmiel, crew
chief Tony Eury Jr. and spotter Rocky Ryan. Swan Racing has also attracted new sponsorship
from Nutrition53, a health supplement company which will feature its
Lean1 product on the car as a primary sponsor for 10 races beginning at Texas
Motor Speedway. Lean 1 will serve as an associate sponsor the remainder of the
season.
