David Starr
No. 81 Zachry Toyota Tundra
Charlotte Motor Speedway – N.C. Education Lottery 200
May 21, 2010
Zachry Holdings Inc. returned to the hood of the No. 81 Toyota Tundra this weekend with David Starr behind the wheel. The team entered Charlotte Motor Speedway coming off two top-10 finishes and their best results of the 2010 season. The No. 81 Zachry Toyota Tundra team worked to adjust their Tundra throughout the morning practice sessions at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Friday. Starr recorded the fourth fastest lap of the day during the final practice session and was extremely pleased with the Zachry Toyota Tundra going into the race on Friday evening.
Rain fell around the mile-and-a-half tri-oval just hours before the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 was scheduled to begin. The field finally took the green flag around 11:00 p.m. EST with track conditions vastly different than the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series experienced during the morning practice sessions.
Immediately after the green flag, Starr called in to the No. 81 Zachry Toyota Tundra team to report that the front swaybar was hitting the track through the center of the corner, which resulted in a tight handling condition. The Zachry Toyota Tundra crew worked throughout the race to raise the front of the truck and prevent the truck from bottoming out. Throughout most of the race, Starr continued to hit his marks and remained inside the top-10.
When the race came to an end shortly after 12:30 a.m. Starr was scored in the ninth position. The finish moved Starr to 10th in the NASCAR Camping World Truck series driver points.
The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will travel to Starr’s home track at Texas Motor Speedway on Friday, June 4th. The WinStar World Casino 400 will be broadcast on SPEED TV, SIRIUS NASCAR Radio and MRN Radio beginning at 8:30 p.m. EST. Qualifying for the race will take place on Thursday, June 3rd at 7:00 p.m. EST, but will not be televised.
