11/14/2011 This Week's RCR Graphics Center powered by Roland Chevrolet at Homestead-Miami Speedway

 Joey Coulter will pilot chassis No. 022 from the Richard Childress Racing NCWTS stable this weekend. This chassis is a brand new addition to the RCR fleet, was built in-house by the Harold Holly-led RCR team and will be put through the paces for the first time this weekend in the NCWTS season finale.

 

Hometown Proud ... Although this weekend marks Coulter's first on-track appearance at Homestead-Miami Speedway, he is very familiar with the track as he grew up in nearby Miami Springs, Fla. A large contingent of family members and friends will be on hand this weekend to support the 2011 Rookie of the Year candidate in the NCWTS season finale.

 

When in Miami ... Coulter is an avid scuba diver and plans to dive in Key Largo, Fla. on Tuesday afternoon. The outing will be filmed by SPEED and aired during the NCWTS Setup show on Friday at 730 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

 

Championship Drive ... Coulter will participate in a mini autograph session and Q&A session with other NCWTS drivers at Lummus Park at Miami's South Beach area on Thursday, November 17 from 5-6 p.m. EST.

 

Welcome, RCR Graphics Center ... The RCR Graphics Center is an in-house full service design and production facility on the RCR campus. A partnership in November 2010 established Roland DGA as the exclusive printer manufacturer for the RCR Graphics Center. The RCR Graphics Center provides the graphics for all of the RCR racing fleet and has commercial service capabilities to supply any company's graphics needs, as well.

 

The Season so Far ... Coulter is placed fifth among all NCWTS drivers with an average running position of 12.025 through 24 races. He has a driver rating of 86.1, placing him seventh among all drivers, is ranked eighth among all drivers early in a run with an average running position of 8.524 and has completed 74.7 percent of the laps he has attempted in the top 15, ranking him fourth. He is ranked second among all NCWTS drivers in quality passes (passing a driver in the top 15 while under a green flag) and is ranked eighth in the NASCAR Loop Data Statistics category of Fastest Laps Run.

 

Get to the Points ... With just one race remaining in the 2011 NCWTS season Coulter is eighth in the driver championship point standings, two markers out of seventh and 97 markers out of the top spot.

 

Competitive Rookie Race ...With 208 points, Coulter leads the 2011 NCWTS Sunoco Rookie of the Year point standings, five markers ahead of second place Nelson Piquet heading into the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

 

 

JOEY COULTER QUOTES:

How do you feel about racing at a track so close to your hometown of Miami Springs, Fla? Do you feel like there is extra pressure to perform?

"Racing in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Homestead-Miami Speedway is going to be great. I have never been on the track but I have watched more laps than most people have driven there. The racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway has always been exciting and I can't wait to be a part of it. Racing in my hometown means a lot to me. There are going to be a lot of people there that have supported me in racing since I started my career 13 years ago. To me, it's no extra pressure to race at my hometown track. It's motivation. There are a lot of people that have worked hard to help me get me where I am."

 

What would it mean to win the NCWTS Sunoco Rookie of the Year title?

"My team has built a great truck for this race and I feel really good about our chances at winning the Rookie of the Year title. It has been a great season racing with Cole Whitt, Nelson Piquet, Parker Kligerman and Miguel Paludo. They are awesome competitors and it would mean a lot to me to win that title."
