Turner Motorsports announced today that Miguel Paludo will return to its NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) lineup at the upcoming event at Watkins Glen International. Paludo will get behind the wheel of the #30 Duroline Brakes and Components Chevrolet Impala at the 2.54-mile road course for his second career NNS start. A two-time champion in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Brasil, Paludo has extensive road racing experience, but has only one previous NNS start, which he made at Road America in June. Paludo led four laps and ran up front for much of the event, but was forced three laps down by a broken sway-bar arm in the closing laps, resulting in a 29th-place finish. Paludo also has one other start on a NASCAR road course circuit, which he made at Lime Rock Park in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2010. Paludo started and finished ninth in the event.(Turner Motorsports PR)(8-1-2012)
