David Starr on Lowe’s Motor Speedway:  “Racing at Charlotte is so special because it is home for just about all of the teams.  The guys on the team get to sleep in their own beds at night and be around their families and still get their job done at the track and that doesn’t happen often in this sport.  Also the guys that work in the shop and don’t travel on the road are given the chance to come out to the track and be a part of the action – it is really special.

“The track in Charlotte is the mecca of our business and has a tremendous amount of history associated with it.  I have had some good success there early in my career but not what I would have liked the last few years.  I think some of that is the harder tire we run now and this ever evolving coil binding set-up.  I feel really good right now about where all of us on Red Horse Racing are now with all of that as we have learned a tremendous amount on what we need to do on these 1.5-mile tracks with these set-ups.  I think our performance in Kansas shows our progress and we will be testing in Darlington on Tuesday before we head to the track at Lowe’s.  This week should be another step in the right direction and I look for a strong run for myself and our No. 11 Toyota Tundra.”

David Starr Speaks To Toyota Truck Champions:  David spent Wednesday May 7th in Atlanta, Georgia speaking at the Southeast Toyota Truck Champions business meeting. These champions are responsible for the marketing and selling of the Toyota Tundra at the dealership level in the Southeast United States.  David spoke about his season so far and re-uniting with the Red Horse Racing team and discussed elements of teamwork that relates to racing as well as the selling of the Tundra at the dealership level.

Lowe’s Truck Seeing Track for First Time This Year:  Red Horse Racing and David Starr will be bringing chassis TRD 93 with them this week to compete at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.  The truck last saw the track last year at Martinsville and has since been given a new updated body.

“This is the first time we have run this truck this season,” stated crew chief Jamie Jones.  “We really have only raced it less than a handful of times and with the new updated body this is really like a brand new truck for us.  The guys on the Red Horse Racing crew have worked hard on it and I think it will show when we unload and hit the track on Friday.”
