8/23/2012 Coulter Earns Third Top-Five Finish of 2012 at Bristol Motor Speedway

Joey Coulter drove the Richard Childress Racing No. 22 Steak-umm Chevrolet to a fourth-place finish in the UNOH 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway, after racing in the top-10 throughout the entire NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event. Qualifying his Chevrolet Silverado in the eighth position, the 22-year-old driver spent the early laps of the Wednesday evening event racing in the top-10, while attempting to avoid trouble at the concrete bullring. As the race neared the halfway point under the lights at the Bristol, Tenn.-based track, Coulter was caught behind lapped traffic but able to maintain his eighth-place running position. The one-pit stop strategy approach to the 204-lap event proved to be enough for the No. 22 Steak-umm team, as Coulter had no complaints regarding the handling of the Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet throughout the race. As the laps wound down, the Miami Springs, Fla., native utilized restarts to gain track position, placing the Steak-umm Chevrolet in position for the victory on a green-white-checkered finish before ultimately crossing the line in the fourth position.

Start - 8 Finish - 4 Laps Led - 0 Points - 7

"The guys on the No. 22 team work hard each and every weekend and I couldn't be more proud of their effort tonight with the Steak-umm Chevrolet. Its finishes like these that are going to keep us in contention for the (NASCAR Camping World Truck Series) championship."
