ANTELOPE, California -- “This is going to be a fun race,” said Eric Richardson, driver of the #20 NAPA Belts & Hose Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS for Bill McAnally Racing. “I’ve never raced there but from what I’ve heard, I’m looking forward to it.”

The #20 NAPA Belts & Hose team will be racing for the checkers competing in the NASCAR West Series NAPA “150” race in Dacono, Colorado Saturday June 2nd. This is only the fifth time the series has raced at Colorado National Speedway in the tracks 44-year history. The teams from BMR have recorded three top-five finishes in the four previous races and are looking to add a win to their record at the track.

“The last time the team raced at Colorado National,” continued Richardson, “the #20 brought home a fourth place finish after being in contention for the win. The #20 team is prepared to make improvements on that finish. Crew chief Roger Bracken and the BMR team are ready to win this race. Drivers Kerry Earnhardt, Sarah Fisher and my teammate Brian Ickler have all proudly carried the NAPA Belts & Hose logo on the #20 BMR entry and I am very proud to represent them again at this event.”
