He will also run the
Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway on Oct. 27, driving the
No. 51 Target Chevrolet.
Larson, who is currently
running full-time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, will also compete in the NNS
race at Charlotte in the No. 32 Target Camaro for Turner Scott
Motorsports. He will continue to run full-time in the Nationwide Series
while competing for Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year honors next season.
“We are happy to have an
opportunity to get Kyle in a couple of Cup races this year,” said EGR owner Chip Ganassi. “Those races, along with
an aggressive testing schedule, will be invaluable in his preparation for the
2014 season.”
“I am very excited to
get behind the wheel of a Cup car in Charlotte this month – especially getting
to race with the Target bullseye on the car,” said Larson. “I have a lot of
work to do to prepare for the 2014 season and I cannot wait to get started.”
Larson has started 28 Nationwide
races this season and finished second last week on the Monster Mile at Dover.
He currently ranks ninth in the point standings with eight Top-5 and 15 Top-10
finishes. He has also had two 2013 starts in the NASCAR Camping World
Truck Series, with a win at Rockingham Speedway and second-place finish at
Eldora Speedway.
So, is Montoya running the 42 at Charlotte and who's the sponsor?
ReplyDeleteIt says Larson is running the #51 for Phoenix Racing. Montoya will be in the #42, as always.
DeleteGood luck Kyle!
ReplyDeleteI would really like to see this done as a Black #51 Target Car with the 42 remaining Red. It would also be good as a Pink #51 Target Car with the Breast Cancer Awareness Program.
ReplyDeleteMaybe next year the #1 and #42 can do a Red and Black Target theme.
Was that a Pepsi logo on the arm of Kyle Larson's uniform a couple weeks back?
