Turner Motorsports welcomes Camping World Truck Series standout Nelson Piquet Jr. to the seat of the #30 Chevy for this weekend’s Ford 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Piquet Jr. made his Nationwide Series debut at Watkins Glen International in 2010. In his lone NNS start, the Brazil native brought home a seventh-place finish after qualifying in the 10th position. This weekend, Piquet Jr. will work with veteran crew chief Stewart Cooper. Cooper has worked with several drivers in 2011 including Kasey Kahne, Ryan Newman, Boris Said, James Buescher and Ricky Carmichael. In support of NASCAR’s ‘Bienvenidos a NASCAR’ program, Piquet Jr.’s #30 Chevy will sport a special program decal this weekend. In addition to decals on entries in all three of NASCAR’s top series, the program will provide bilingual brand ambassadors, virtual garage tours and guidebooks of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series garage. There will be a Spanish language broadcast available via scanner (via ESPN Deportes), as well as ‘Bienvenidos a NASCAR’ ticket packages though Homestead-Miami Speedway and a Chino y Nacho pre-race concert on Sunday, Nov. 20th at 12 p.m. at the Coca-Cola Stage.(Turner Motorsports)(11-16-2011)
