Sorenson Looks For Solid Run at Lowe's Motor Speedway

LMS History: Sorenson has competed in five NSCS and six NNS events at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.  On the NSCS side, Sorenson has one top-five and two top-ten finishes.  His best finish of fourth came in the spring race in 2007.  His average start is 21st and average finish is 20th at the 1.5-mile oval.

The No. 41 Target Dodge started 17th and finished 22nd in the 600-mile event last spring. Sorenson battled handling conditions throughout the 400-lap event. He was one lap shy of a perfect 600 record. To date the 22-year-old has completed 1,199 out of 1,200 laps (three starts) in the Coca-Cola 600.

Last weekend: Reed Sorenson appeared to be on his way to recording a solid finish at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday, but a late-race incident took multiple cars including Sorenson’s Target Dodge out of contention just 17 laps from the finish. After the red flag was lifted, Sorenson’s team fiercely worked on the No. 41 Dodge with hopes to rejoin the field for points.  Sorenson did just that with two laps to go, picking up six spots, ultimately finishing 23rd. 

In the Points: Following their 23rd-place finish at Talladega, the No. 41 team remains 30th in the NASCAR Sprint Cup owner point standings.

No. 41 Target Dodge (NSCS):  Chassis #806.  This chassis is the same car Sorenson and the No. 41 team ran at Las Vegas Motor Speedway earlier this season to an 18th-place finish.  In addition, the Target Team raced this car in the All-Star Showdown at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in May.  Sorenson was racing in the top five prior to another car forcing him into the outside wall. The car also ran in Michigan (June) and Bristol (August).
