Nelson Piquet Jr. enjoyed his NCWTS off week. After completing the Chicago Rock ‘n’ Roll Half-Marathon the Sunday after the NCWTS Chicagoland Speedway race in 2 hours, 18 minutes and 43 seconds, the Brazilian driver then celebrated his 27th birthday later that week. Piquet Jr. also made a quick trip up to Pennsylvania on Friday, July 27th for a media advance for Pocono Raceway. The tour included a stop at the Lehigh Valley Children’s Hospital where the Brazilian spent time with some very deserving young patients. The tour concluded at the Philadelphia Eagles Training Camp where Piquet Jr. went long for a pass from NFL star Michael Vick. The #30 Autotrac Chevrolet Silverado team will bring chassis TMS-218 to Pocono Raceway for Saturday afternoon’s Pocono Mountains 125 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race. This is a brand-new chassis for the Turner Motorsports team. Piquet has one previous start at Pocono Raceway, in 2011, where he finished 14th.(Turner Motorsports PR)(7-31-2012)
