EA Sports 500 (Talladega) Recap:

Tony Raines finished in the 31st position at Talladega Superspeedway after involvement in an accident on lap 10. Raines finished nine laps down to the race winner with severe body damage to the No. 74 Chevrolet that would not allow him to keep pace with the draft.

Last Race at Kansas Speedway:

BACE Motorsports made their fifth Winston Cup start last year at Kansas Speedway. Raines qualified the No. 74 StaffAmerica Chevrolet in the 25th position and drove into the top-20 during the first five laps of the event. A cut left rear tire on lap seven would end Raines' day early as he made hard contact with the outside wall on the front stretch as a result. Raines would finish the event in the 41st position.

The Chassis:

BACE Crew Chief Larry Carter has selected Chassis 7413 to bring to Kansas. This is the same chassis Raines' piloted at the Winston Open (19th), the Coca-Cola 600 (37th) and at Michigan (33rd). 7413 has undergone some reconstruction since these events and will debut at Kansas with a new body that recently was tested at the wind tunnel.

BACE FAST FACTS

• Working Overtime. Tony Raines will have "double duty" for the 11th time this season at Kansas Speedway when he pilots the No. 33 Outdoor Channel Chevrolet in the Mr. Goodcents 300. Raines has a good track record at Kansas in the Busch Series with one top-five and one top-10 finish to his credit in two recorded races at the 1.5-mile facility.

Tony Raines on returning to Kansas. "Kansas is definitely one of my favorite tracks that we visit in the latter part of the season. As a team, we've been strong there since our first visit when it opened two years ago so it feels good to go there knowing you've had some past success."

"As far as the track goes, it still feels fairly new with the only true racing groove being at the bottom. Kansas is similar to Chicago but they are not identical. They like to call these tracks cookie cutter tracks (the 1.5-mile tracks) but each one of them definitely has their own characteristics that you have to adapt to as a driver. I believe the one thing that will come into play on Sunday is fuel mileage and pit strategy. If you have a car that will run within the top-15, then you will have a chance at the end to have a good finish."

On running Double Duty. "I think that running both cars has really helped me this season. Surprisingly, it has probably helped me more in my Outdoor Channel Chevy than the Cup car because I don't place as much pressure on myself in the Busch car. But overall, the opportunity to share information between the two teams is huge factor for us as a single car Winston Cup operation. Mark (Tutor, NBS crew chief) and Larry (Carter, NWC crew chief) have worked together in the past and they communicate really well during the practice sessions, sharing ideas on set-ups so I think that is the biggest factor for running two cars."
