TRG Motorsports Fielding Two Cars in Talladega:

  • TRG Motorsports will once again be fielding two entries in this Sunday’s Good Sam Club 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Andy Lally will race the #71 TRG Motorsports Ford while T.J. Bell will attempt to qualify the #77 TRG Motorsports entry into the race. On the track, Lally, who finished 19th in the spring race at Talladega, is looking forward to returning to the venue in which he earned his best finish this season. Bell will be seeking to make his fifth Sprint Cup Series start of 2011 on Sunday. The Nevada native holds one career top-10 finish in three career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts at Talladega. “I’m happy to be here racing with TRG Motorsports this weekend. They are a really great group of guys that have put together a phenomenal program. I saw what they’ve done at the restrictor plate tracks this season and it was a pretty easy decision that this was the seat to be in this weekend. It’s with mixed emotions that we’re honoring Dan Wheldon on our #77 car this weekend. His loss is tragic, but I am more than honored to celebrate his life on my car this weekend” says Bell. Wheldon was driving a car numbered 77 when last weekend’s tragedy occurred. His name will adorn the namerail of Bell’s entry. The team will be honoring the memory of Dan Wheldon in this Sunday’s Good Sam Club 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Wheldon, a former IndyCar Series Champion and Two-Time Indy 500 winner passed away this past Sunday due to injuries sustained while racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Both Lally and Bell raced with Wheldon as they made their way through the racing ranks and will honor his memory this weekend.(TRG Motorsports), see images of the #77 car on my #77 TRG Team Schemes page.(10-21-2011)
