Finishing the Fight: Team Target driver Reed Sorenson and CGRFS teammate David Stremme, along with a couple of other select NEXTEL Cup Series drivers, will get a chance to Finish the Fight before anyone else during the “Halo 3” sneak peek weekend at Dover. Additionally, Stremme will be piloting a special No. 40 “Halo 3” paint scheme during the Dover 400, highlighting the much anticipated Xbox 360 game release, which is set to shatter day-one sales records when it is released worldwide on Tuesday, Sept. 25. Release and artwork available upon request.
Candy Land: Reed Sorenson attended the 2007 All Candy Expo at McCormick Place in Chicago, Ill., on Monday as a guest of CGRFS partner Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company. Sorenson signed autographs and chatted with customers at the Wrigley display area that included new product samples and the No. 41 Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit® Dodge show car.
#41: Did you know the Dave Matthews Band has a song titled #41? The band played in the Charlotte, N.C., area on Wednesday evening at the amphitheater just down the road from the CGRFS race shop and Sorenson was scheduled to attend (hoping to catch the show before heading to Dover for the 28th race weekend of the 2007 season).
Chassis: Crew chief Jimmy Elledge and the Target team have selected chassis #734 for Dover. This CoT chassis has previously competed at Martinsville (25th), the first Richmond (21st) and most recently in the second Bristol race (15th).
Points Update: Sorenson and the Target team moved up two positions, to 23rd, in the overall NEXTEL Cup Series driver standings with their 14th-place finish in the last event at New Hampshire. The team is 160 points out of 20th with nine races remaining in the 2007 season.
Be Sure to Tune In: The Dover 400 is set to go green at 1:30 p.m. ET on Sunday. The race will air live on ABC, MRN radio and Sirius Satellite Radio channel 128.
