He’s Down with Dover: Sorenson has a solid track record at the track known as the “Monster Mile.” In four NASCAR Busch Series (NBS) starts, Sorenson has two top-five finishes and four top-10 finishes. He isn’t too shabby in the NEXTEL Cup garage either, posting an 11th-place effort last September and a 19th-place finish last June. Sorenson has completed all but one of the possible 1,602 laps of competition in races he has run at the 1-mile oval. His average combined start is 15.5 and his average finish is 8.7.
What’s the Latest: Last Saturday night at Lowe’s Motor Speedway (LMS), Sorenson and the No. 41 Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit team were working on improving their top-30 starting position, when a mishandling race car escaped from Sorenson’s grip and went into the outside wall. The team went to work to repair the car in the garage and sent Sorenson back out about 50 laps later to only discover the car wasn’t going to be able to get back up to pace, and therefore forced the team to say good night way too early in 42nd place. The No. 41 CGRFS Busch team is now 29th in the overall NASCAR Busch Series standings, just 87 points outside the top 25.
Chassis: Crew chief Brian Pattie and the No. 41 Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit team are bringing new chassis #755 to Delaware this weekend for the running of the Dover 200 on Saturday.
Don’t Miss Any of It: The Dover 200 is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. ET Saturday, June 2, and will broadcast live on ESPN2 (TV), MRN (Radio) and Sirius Satellite Radio channel 128. Qualifying for the 200-lap Busch race is scheduled to take place at 11:05 a.m. ET Saturday, and will broadcast live on ESPN2.
