Tim Sauter In No. 36 This Week
Tim Sauter will drive the #36 Chevrolet for DCT Motorsports in Saturday’s NASCAR Busch Series season finale, DCT owner John McGill announced today. Lester Buildings, a Minnesota-based company that manufactures engineered, wood frame building systems over the eastern two-thirds of the nation, will sponsor the team in the race. “Having a proven veteran like Tim Sauter in our car will be a real plus for our team and all of our guys at Homestead,” McGill said. “His own racing lineage, coupled with that of (crew chief) Ricky Pearson, gives us a pretty interesting combination for the weekend.”
Sauter, a Necedah, Wisc., native , is the son of former NASCAR Cup driver Jim Sauter and brother of NASCAR driver Johnny Sauter. Pearson is a winning champion crew chief in his own right, and the son of legendary driver David Pearson and brother of champion driver Larry Pearson. “We all know Tim Sauter can drive a race car, and we’re going to give him the best we can at Homestead,” Pearson said. “A driver brand new to a race team, especially for the final race of the season, doesn’t make things easy but our guys are ready for it. We’re looking forward to a good weekend.” Sauter has 82 career starts in NASCAR’s Busch Series and, in his own full season, finished 13th with seven top-10 finish in 2002. He has also started races in the NASCAR Nextel Cup and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Regan Smith Out Of No. 58 Car

Smith competed in 21 events with Glynn and had a season-best 15th-place finish at New Hampshire International Speedway.(scenedaily.com)
