Schrader and Wallace to run at Virginia Motor Speedway

The second annual Paul Sawyer Memorial Modified race at Virginia Motor Speedway won't lack star power. The race, to be held May 1, already has confirmed NASCAR's Ken Schrader and Kenny Wallace, with other drivers still a possibility. "Some drivers have hobbies like golfing or fishing or hunting," Wallace said yesterday. "I'm kind of the same way. I can spend Thursday in my motor home or go run a local dirt track. "Last year, I went there and didn't know what I was doing. This year, I'm going back to see if I can do better. I like the challenge." Tickets are on sale now for the 60-lap race at VMS.

For those not lucky enough to grab a seat for the dirt late-model race featuring more than 25 world renowned drivers as they battle for dirt supremacy, HBO Pay-Per-View will present the event live to the entire nation. Proceeds from this telecast will support construction of Victory Junction Gang Camp II in Kansas City, as well as the Tony Stewart Foundationexternal link.

The all-star race will feature such racing icons as Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin, Denny Hamlin, Bobby Labonte and more. All will pilot 2,300-pound dirt late-model stock cars capable of putting out more than 800 horsepower.  Additionally, J.J.

BAM Racing withdraws No. 49 Toyota entry for Texas

One week after announcing a sponsorship program with Microsoft Small Business and qualifying seventh at Martinsville, BAM Racing's No. 49 Toyota was withdrawn from this weekend's Samsung 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.

No details were available as to the reasons behind the decision by owner Beth Ann Morgenthau, who has operated a team in NASCAR's premier series since 2002.

The No. 49 was 42nd in owner points following a 37th-place finish at Martinsville, having made three of six races this season. Driver Ken Schrader finished 21st at Las Vegas and 41st at Bristol earlier in 2008. (From Nascar.com)

Update: The BAM Racing No. 49 will sit out both the Texas and Phoenix races due to the switch from Dodge to Toyota last week.

"Switching manufacturers was a taller order than we initially realized," co-owner Tony Morgenthau said of the decision to change from Dodge to Toyota as of Martinsville. "While BAM Racing has a very strong short track program, our intermediate track program needs some work.

"Since we haven't had time to adequately test the cars on shaker rigs and pull-down rigs, since historically we don't run that well at either Texas or Phoenix -- even with a proven, tested racecar -- since we intend to improve our on-track performance and not to take a step backwards, our organization has decided to take the next three weeks to focus on the remainder of the racing season."

BAM Racing Switches To Toyota

BAM Racing is switching to Toyotas beginning this weekend at Martinsville Speedway, team spokesman Rhett Vandiver says. “After being with Dodge for seven years, we looked around and evaluated all the manufacturers, and we just found Toyota to be most committed to racing and the one that would benefit our program the best,” Vandiver said Wednesday.

The team, which fields the No. 49 entry for Ken Schrader, also announced that Microsoft, through its small-business program, will be the primary sponsor for Martinsville and an associate sponsor for the rest of the season. BAM Racing offers small businesses a sponsorship package that can start at $4,995.

Bill Davis Racing is also working with BAM Racing on the transition from Toyota to Dodge, Vandiver said. (From SceneDaily.com)
