BK Racing will field a third Toyota at Darlington Raceway for Travis Kvapil to run the Bojangles ‘ Southern 500. The car will run Dr. Pepper colors and use the #73. Kvapil usually drives BK Racing #93 Burger King / Dr Pepper Toyota, but David Reutimann is in that car for Darlington and other races in 2012. Kvapil will have to race his way into the field as the car has no owners points and since it looks to be a late entry will not receive any drivers/owners points as a post entry.(Travis Kvapil Facebook)(5-10-2012)
UPDATE: BK Racing announced that Travis Kvapil will drive the #73 Dr Pepper Toyota in Saturday’s Bojangles ‘ Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. Kvapil’s car will be a third entry fielded by BK Racing and will run in addition to the organization’s #83 Toyota, driven by Landon Cassill, and #93 Toyota, driven by David Reutimann. This will be BK Racing’s first attempt to field three cars for an event. Ben Leslie will serve as Kvapil’s crew chief. Kvapil will return to the #93 car for the Sprint All-Star Showdown next week at Charlotte Motor Speedway. ‘I ‘m really excited to be racing at Darlington,’ Kvapil said. ‘I want to thank Dr Pepper and BK Racing for putting this together. It’s a big step for BK Racing to field a third car. We didn ‘t open our doors until February and we ‘ve managed to make every race and stay inside the top-35 in points. Now we ‘re fielding a third entry. That says a lot about our progress and this team’s determination.(Breaking Limits/BK Racing)(5-10-2012)
