NASHVILLE, TN - This year at the Federated Auto Parts 250 NASCAR truck race 
in Nashville, the No. 3 GM Goodwrench Service Plus truck will be driven by 
Jay Sauter. Last year at Nashville Speedway USA, the No. 3 team started 
second and ended the day in 16th.

 - Sauter is currently ninth in the NASCAR Truck Series points standings.

 - During the 17th NASCAR Truck Series race, at Flemington Speedway, the No. 
3 team started 25th and finished in 6th.

QUOTES:

 - "Nashville is one of my favorite tracks," commented Sauter. It is a fast 
1/2 mile banked track which means there will be some close racing.

"We are racing at night," said Sauter. "This time of year in the south, 
that's a blessing. It has been pretty hot the last couple of races.

"Last weekend was a good race for us, we stayed out of the wrecks and came 
from 25th to six," remarked Sauter. "I hope we can get back to some 
consistency, and get another win."
