Reed Sorenson and the No. 41 Memorex Dodge Team Facts:
Memorex On Board: The No. 41 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) Dodge will carry the purple colors of Memorex this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway (BMS), and continue to carry those same colors the remainder of the 2007 NBS season. Memorex, the leading brand of optical media at U.S. retail and a portfolio brand of Imation Corp., announced in January it had signed an agreement with CGRFS to serve as primary sponsor of the No. 41 Memorex Dodge in the NASCAR Busch Series (NBS) starting this month. Memorex has been riding as an associate sponsor on the No. 41 Wrigley’s Dodge since February, but will take center hood this weekend. Reed Sorenson will pilot the No. 41 this weekend at BMS, next weekend at California Speedway and then also at Dover International Speedway in late September. CGRFS development driver Bryan Clauson will make his NASCAR debut in the Memorex Dodge at Richmond International Raceway (RIR) in early September, and then race the car in the remaining seven NBS races after Dover.
Standings Update: The No. 41 CGRFS Busch team now stands 15th in the overall NBS owner ranks. It is just 152 points outside the top 10.
Chassis: The purple Memorex colors will be carried by chassis #558 this weekend at BMS. It is a new car that will be making its first start of 2007 this weekend in Tennessee.
