STREMME TO PULL DOUBLE DUTY  AT MIS
 
Nextel Cup Rookie Will Pilot RWI Racing's No. 61 Hantz Group -- Nu South
Lemonade Dodge Friday's ARCA RE/MAX Series Race
 
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (June 12, 2006) -- Nextel Cup rookie David Stremme will
compete for the second straight weekend in both the NASCAR Nextel Cup and
ARCA RE/MAX Series races. Stremme, who drives the No. 40 Coors Light/Lone
Star Steakhouse & Saloon Dodge in NASCAR's Premier Series, will also drive
RWI Racing's No. 61 Hantz Group -- Nu South Lemonade Dodge in the ARCA RE/MAX
race at Michigan International Speedway.
 
"Racing is racing," Stremme said during an ARCA test at MIS.
"I am a racer
and anytime I can get behind the wheel and compete I'm all for it. Rusty
(Wallace, car owner) has great equipment and I am excited to get the chance
to race for fun. I'm looking forward to hopefully pulling off a win in
Michigan."
 
Steven Wallace usually drives the No. 61 Hantz Group -- Nu South Lemonade
Dodge, however scheduling conflicts made a fill-in driver necessary. "Stremme
was the obvious choice," said Rusty Wallace. "With Steve racing in Kentucky
we needed a fill-in, David Stremme was first on our list. The kid is a racer
and I knew he'd be great. He has a lot of talent and I am expecting a win in
Michigan."
 
"We are extremely excited about having David step in for Steve this weekend
for the Hantz Group 200 at Michigan International Speedway," said Aaron
Thierry, Vice President of Hantz Group Racing. "Rusty (Wallace, team owner)
and his organization do a great job of understanding our needs and making
sure they exceed them. We are proud to be a part of their ARCA RE/MAX program
and look forward to much success in Michigan."
