That's Racin'

DOVER, Del. - Johnny Sauter, who is driving for Brewco Motorsports in the Busch Series and Richard Childress Racing in Cup, will not run the June 27 road course race at Sonoma, Calif., in the Cup car due to a scheduling conflict.

RCR has tapped NASCAR Southwest Series regular and road course specialist Jim Inglebright to drive the No. 30 Chevrolet in the race.


"We're disappointed Johnny couldn't run (Sonoma) due to the Busch race weekend in Milwaukee, which is his Busch team's sponsor's hometown," team owner Richard Childress said.


"Jim has the aggressive driving style I like and he definitely knows his way around Infineon Raceway, his track record speaks for itself."


Sauter said his primary objective for the year was his Busch team. "I want to make a run for championship and I feel like we've gotten off track the past couple weeks," Sauter said. "I've never been on a road course, never tested on a road course so it's probably a good move on their part."
 
""My primary objective all year was the Busch car," Sauter said Friday. "I want to have a run at the championship. ... I've never been on a road course before, I've never tested at a road course, so it's probably a good move on their part. It's good, because I can go to Milwaukee, my hometown, and put on a good show."


You know why doesn't Sauter use some of his Practice dates and practice on the road courses. He's gotta learn sometime. :cheers:
 
Thanks Johnny,Ur absence will save about half of the field from catastrophe :lol:
That is a good move to get a RC specialist to fill in. ;)

Brian Vickers is testing at road courses,it'll be interesting to see how He rums in His first Cup road course events,of course Jeff Gordon might be able to give Him some sound advice in that arena. :D
