FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Starr ready to rumble in “Thunder Valley”: The famed 0.533-mile speedway known as “The Last Great Colosseum” has many nicknames and never falls short on delivering some of the best racing on the NASCAR circuit. Serving as this week’s venue for the NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) Fitzgerald Glider Kits 300, David Starr will head to Bristol Motor Speedway in the No. 44 Zachry Camry. He has five previous NXS starts and has turned 1020 laps at the concrete oval; scoring his best finish of 18th during the April 2015 NXS race. Adding even more excitement and complexity to the competitive mix, this weekend also marks the first of four Dash 4 Cash Heat Races on the 2016 schedule. Having a passion for short-track racing, Starr is anxious to settle into the Zachry Camry and take on the “The World’s Fastest Half Mile”.
No. 44 Zachry Camry: Crew Chief Frank Kerr and the No. 44 Zachry team will unload chassis No.301 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

NASCAR XFINITY Series drivers will each compete in one of two 50-lap Heat races for the chance to be eligible to win $100,000 in the 200-lap Main event.
