After a two-month layoff
from the series, Ricky Benton Racing Enterprises and driver Corey LaJoie
are making their return to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series tonight in the UNOH 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
This will be LaJoie's
second stint behind the wheel of the BTS Tire and Wheel Distributors/Goodyear
FleetHQ/Wynn's Ford F-150. In his first start with the team in June at Kentucky
Speedway, the 22-year old finished 17th.
"Corey did a great
job for us first time out at Kentucky," said RBR Enterprises team owner
Ricky Benton. "We learned a lot and he and (crew chief) Mike (Hester) got
to know each other and the communication improved as the race went along."
LaJoie, the son of
two-time Nationwide Series champion Randy LaJoie, has been spending time at
RBR's shop in Cerro Gordo (N.C.) helping prep the truck for this week's race.
"This is a good group of guys at RBR who love to race,"
said LaJoie. "Bristol is a tough track, but I feel like we have a great
truck and if we stay out of trouble, we can bring home a good finish."
