(July 27, 2009)
Blake Feese will make his return to NASCAR Saturday, August 1, 2009 at
Nashville Superspeedway piloting the No. 15 Billy Ballew Motorsports
NASCAR Camping World Truck in the running of the Toyota Tundra 200.
The 27-year-old driver has one career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
start driving for Billy Ballew Motorsports in 2005 where he finished in
the 15th-place position. Feese ran 13 events in the NASCAR Nationwide
Series in 2004 and 2005.
The Billy Ballew Motorsports team will return to the Nashville
Superspeedway with eight prior starts at the track with a best finish
of 11th–place posted in 2004 and 2005. Feese has two ARCA RE/MAX Series
races to his credit at the 1.33-mile D-shaped oval, posting one win in
2004 and a ninth-place finish in 2007.
“I’m so excited to be back racing in the trucks this weekend at
Nashville,” Blake Feese said. “I made my first ever Camping World Truck
Series start for Billy Ballew in 2005. I’ve worked with Richie
(Wauters, crew chief) before and I couldn’t be happier than to have
this whole team believe in me to drive for them this weekend. They have
consistently fast, solid trucks every week and I’m ready to jump right
in. I’ve won in the ARCA (RE/MAX) Series and have a lot of laps from
testing over the years in Nashville so I feel pretty good going back to
that track. I have to thank Billy (Ballew) for the opportunity to drive
the No. 15 Tundra this weekend and hopefully we’ll bring home a solid
finish Saturday.”
The No. 15 Billy Ballew Motorsports team comes off a season’s best
finish of third-place last weekend at O’Reilly Raceway Park with Aric
Almirola piloting the Toyota Tundra.
The Toyota Tundra 200 (150 lap, 200 mile) NASCAR Camping World Truck
Series event is slated to begin Saturday, August 1, 2009 7:00pm CT with
live televised broadcast on SPEED beginning at 6:30pm CT.
