Dave Blaney Quotes:

ON ROAD COURSE RACING AT INFINEON RACEWAY – “I enjoy road racing. The main thing about Sonoma is just not making mistakes. There are certainly opportunities to make mistakes. If you can stay on the track all day and don’t make mistakes, the chances of a good day go way up. It’s very easy to be too aggressive with the racetrack and other cars, that’s what gets you in trouble. Fuel mileage always seems to come into play too. Fuel mileage, not breaking the transmission or brakes and managing the car is key to a good finish. We’ll go out, stay focused and try to have a good weekend.”

Tommy Baldwin Quotes:

ON THIS WEEKEND – “I’m glad to have Big Red on board this weekend for the first of five races. We’re running a new car at Sonoma. We haven’t had a new road course car since TBR opened, so I’m excited to get it on the track. I’m thrilled to be racing Sonoma. We haven’t raced there in years. We didn’t qualify the last two years, but we’re confident we can race well. It’s typically a fuel mileage race, so we’ll play the fuel mileage game to get a good finish.”

Looking to improve on-track performance, TBR found success early in the 2011 season with partners Golden Corral, Big Red and Accell Construction.
