Paludo Talladega scheme promotes diabetes awareness; image added:

Miguel Paludo will make his way to Talladega Superspeedway this weekend. Paludo will make his first laps around the 2.66-mile Superspeedway this weekend, as he tries to improve on his last restrictor-plate finish of fourth in the season opener at Daytona International Speedway. Paludo has two fourth-place finishes at Daytona and Lucas Oil Raceway, but his career-best Truck Series finish came in August at Michigan International Speedway where he finished third. This weekend Paludo will carry new colors as the 28-year old driver of the #7 Toyota Tundra promotes health, wellness and the fight to find a cure for diabetes. Paludo, who suffers from Type I diabetes, continues to be an advocate for research and education for children and adults who struggle with the disease.(Red Horse Racing PR) [Rending of the #7 Stop Diabetes Toyota is posted on the #7 NCWTS 2011 Paint Schemes page.](10-18-2011)
