Johnny Sauter - Lucas Oil 150: Phoenix Race Recap

Johnny Sauter - No. 13 Thorsport Racing - Weds News
Johnny Sauter posted a solid finish after a demolition-derby style season opener for the NCWTS. After qualifying ninth fastest, he finished the race in the 17th position; making him 13th in the points running going into Phoenix this Friday. NEXT RACE: The Lucas Oil 150 at Phoenix International Raceway, Friday, Feb. 25th. Johnny will pilot the No. 13 Safe Auto/Curb Records Chevrolet Silverado for his 3rd showing at PIR with ThorSport Racing in NCWTS.

NOTABLE PR - PHX:
*PIR is one of Johnny's favorite racetracks. He's excited to put Daytona in the rearview and get back to "single file" shootout-style racing on the mile tracks.
*With a pole in 2009 and two top 5 finishes at PIR in the last two years with ThorSport Racing, it's easy to see why it's Johnny's favorite track. With new ECR horsepower under the hood, look for a strong showing in practice speeds, qualifying and at the checkers.
