Deborah Renshaw Milwaukee Preview
Milwaukee, WI–Deborah is coming off her third
consecutive solid finish after coming home 21st last week
at the Michigan International Speedway.
“I really do not know what to expect this week at Milwaukee.
I have never seen the place before but I have tried to talk
to as many people as possible to learn what I can about it.
Also each week I watch a tape of the race from the previous
year at the track to just see what type of race it has been
in the past. Milwaukee is a flat track and seems to be somewhat
similar to Gateway so I will use the information we learned
from racing and testing there earlier this season. I have
some solid momentum going and my guys are on top of their
game in giving me a strong truck each week. It will be important
for me to get some good laps in during practice and get as
familiar as I can with the track for the race. We have our
work cut out for us this week but I think we will put together
another strong outing.”
With her impressive run the last three weeks, Renshaw has
entered back into the all important top 30 of the owner’s
standings. “With the new qualifying procedure that NASCAR
put into place this season it is very important to be in the
top 30 of the owner’s points,” said Deborah. “It
puts so much pressure on you when you have to fight for one
of those final six starting spots in the field – we fell
victim to that earlier this year at Lowe’s and that makes
it so much harder to catch up. Also, it makes it harder to
prepare for the race since you have to use so much of your
practice time to concentrate on qualifying trim and then we
get impounded so there is no happy hour. This week we will
be able to work on both race and qualifying trim and get ourselves
good for the race. It definitely makes things a little easier
and now we need to make sure that we are able to stay in the
top 30 and not fall out – it is so crucial in so many
ways.”
Deborah will be racing “Trix” this weekend at Milwaukee.
This will be the fourth race of the season for Deborah in
this truck with the previous starts being at Daytona, Martinsville
and Mansfield. Deborah will be making her first career start
at the famous Milwaukee Mile this weekend. This will mark
the sixth time this season where Deborah has made her first
visit to a track in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
