Green Flag Notes

• Formula One champion and Indianapolis 500 winner Jacques Villeneuve (No. 27 Bill Davis Racing Toyota) is set to make his NASCAR debut this week in Las Vegas. But Canadian competitors are no strangers to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. In fact, Randy Churchill of Windsor, Ontario, competed in 1995’s seventh race at I-70 Speedway near Kansas City. Churchill’s father, Jerry, joined his son at Bristol, making them the first father-son entry in a series race. Randy MacDonald of Oshawa, Ontario, is the Canadian leader in starts (94) and winnings ($953,783). MacDonald and his sister, Teri, are the only brother and sister to compete in the same race. Their most recent of four concurrent starts came at Darlington Raceway in 2003. World class road racer Ron Fellows, however, remains the highest profile Canadian in the series – at least until Villeneuve’s debut. Fellows, a Toronto native, won twice at Watkins Glen International in 1997 and 1999. He was the Bud Pole starter at WGI in three consecutive seasons. Two Canadians have competed in 2007: Pierre Bourque of Ottawa and Peter Shepherd of Brampton, Ontario.
• Clint Bowyer had no luck in Saturday’s New Hampshire 200, exiting the race on the 57th lap when his No. 2 Camping World Chevrolet was involved in an accident. Bowyer, however, came back on Sunday to win his first NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series event and become the 18th competitor to win in all three of NASCAR’s national series.
• Ron Hornaday Jr. became New Hampshire International Speedway’s first repeat winner Saturday with a convincing performance in which the two-time series champion lead 174 of 200 laps. Ironically, Hornaday’s 1996 victory saw the Californian lead only the final lap – the first series winner to lead only the last serial.
• Mary Wilson, one of the original Supremes, will sing the National Anthem prior to the Smith’s Las Vegas 350.
• Dennis Setzer will drive the No. 18 Fastenal Dodge subbing for Ken Schrader, who is competing in the Dodge Dealers 400 at Dover International Speedway. Clay Rogers remains in the No. 75 Spears Manufacturing Chevrolet following his 12th-place finish in New Hampshire.
• Ron Hornaday Jr.’s New Hampshire 200 victory snapped a two-race Toyota win streak at the 1.058-mile track. It was the GM brand’s fifth victory of the 2007 season. Toyota, however, has won nine times and continues to hold a solid lead of 16 points in the 2007 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Manufacturers’ Championship.
