Braun Racing to field Four cars in Nationwide Series in 2010, Brian Scott announced as fourth driver

Todd Braun, who was a former racer, started Braun Racing in 2002 and fielded a car in the ARCA Re/Max Series for Chad Blount. The team got four wins and five poles, in that season which made Braun to try the Nationwide Series on a limited bases the next year.

Braun then decied to run full time in the Nationwide Series in 2004 as well as ARCA, and with Jamie McMurray got the teams first Nationwide Series win. For ARCA he had Ryan Hemphill who in 13 starts was able to get six wins.

In 2005 the team focused solely on the Nationwide Series and since has continued to grow his organization. The team has grown so much that Braun Racing announced Monday that the team would have four entries in the 2010 Nationwide Series season, and that Brain Scott would driver the fourth and new car.

"It's been a great ride, from where we started as a no-name ARCA team in 2002, to where we are today, It's been a lot of hard work, but it's something I am very proud of. Expanding into a four-car team is not something I ever fathomed, but I have a great group of hard-working, dedicated people behind me that have helped to make it happen. We also have the support of our outstanding marketing partners and without them, we wouldn't be here. To say that I am proud of what we have all built together is an understatement. We welcome Brian Scott to the team and we're looking forward to a very successful year in 2010." --Todd Braun

Brain Scott is from Boise, Idaho. he got his start racing mini-sprints on dirt tracks throughout Idaho and Washington. He moved to North Carolina in 2006 so he could focus on his racing career. He ran a limited number of races in the USAR Hooter's Pro Cup Series and ARCA Series.

Scott has one win nine top-five and 19 top-10 finishes in his two season in the Camping World Truck Series. he has also made five Nationwide starts this year, driving Braun Racing's No. 10 entry. His debut coming in the April race at Nashville.

"I am really excited to have the opportunity to join forces with Braun Racing next season, we had some great runs this year, which I think is a solid building block for what we want to accomplish in 2010. Braun Racing is an outstanding organization, with first-rate equipment and an extremely talented crew and staff. As a driver entering his first season of full-time competition in the Nationwide Series, you can't ask to be in a better situation. Daytona can't get here fast enough for me!" -- Brain Scott

The Sponsor, as well as car number and crew chief for Braun Racing's fourth car is going to be announced some time in the coming weeks.

Busch Loses 25 Points in Nationwide Series

Nascar Announced today that Kyle Busch, who won the Nationwide race at Texas Motor Speedway this past week, was Docked 25 Nationwide drivers' point and Team Owner Joe Gibbs was docked the same amount in owner points after his car failed opening-day inspection.

Busch's crew chief Jason Ratcliff was fined $5,000 and was placed on probation until Dec. 31, 2009 by NASCAR. The violations were Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-I (any determination by NASCAR officials that the race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR rules) and 20A-2.3A (improperly attached weight) of the 2009 NASCAR Nationwide Series rule book.

Kyle Would have won all three races at Texas Motor Speedway, and made it into the record books by doing so, had he not run out of gas in the Sprint Cup Series race.

Nascar also announced that the crew chief for the number 09 Zaxby's Ford Fusion, Brad Parrott, was fined $5,000 and placed on probation until Dec. 31, 2009 after the car was found in in violation of Section 12-1, 9-4-A (crew chief assumes responsibility for the actions of his/her driver, car owner and crew members) and 12-4-I (unapproved panhard bar adjustment during impound by a team member). Parrott's violations were found during pre-race inspection.

ARCA announces new 105-inch wheelbase chassis

Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) announced today that they approved the 105-inch wheelbase chassis for competition in 19 of the 21 races for 2010. The 105-inch wheelbase chassis are currently used in the NASCAR Nationwide and NASCAR Camping World East and West Series.

The 105-inch wheelbase chassis however will not be run at Daytona Int'l Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. ARCA's current 110 inch wheelbase cars will also be raced along with the 105-inch wheelbase chassis at the 19 selected races.

Along with the approval of the 105-inch wheelbase, there will be a rules package change that will create parity between the two cars. ARCA's base rules package for 3400 pound, steel-bodied stock cars with corresponding auto manufacturer engine and body configuration will remain in place.

This approval coincides with Nascar's announced integrating the Car of Tomorrow (COT) for the Nationwide Series in 2011, and the gradual exit of the present-day cars, which as said above are 105-inch wheelbase chassis, from the Series.

"Since the inception of our series in 1953, we've kept an open line of communication with NASCAR and others to monitor industry trends, At the time of the evolution of the NASCAR Sprint Cup COT technology, ARCA team owners represented a market for NASCAR team owners to sell the race cars they were cycling out of inventory. We're positioned to accommodate a similar situation with the NASCAR Nationwide team owners. We've invested a great deal of research and interaction into this move with several groups, in particular our ARCA team owners, and we feel this is the right step with the proper timing for everyone involved."
- ARCA President Ron Drager.
