"All-American Speedway is a racetrack that I love to drive and the races at All-American Speedway are never dull, so I'm sure I can expect a full crowd. The fans in the Sacramento area are great to race in front of!"— Paulie Harraka
The No. 12 NAPA AutoCare team with crew chief Duane Knorr is prepared to put the No. 12 NAPA AutoCare Toyota Camry on the pole and finish on the podium. This is the team’s home track as the BMR race shop is only a few miles away in Antelope, California.

Quotes from Harraka: "The No. 12 NAPA AutoCare Center Toyota team and I are looking forward to getting back to All-American Speedway in Roseville, CA. After qualifying on the pole and setting a new track record there last year, we really believe we can get ourselves on the right track for the rest of the season. All-American Speedway is a racetrack that I love to drive and the races at All-American Speedway are never dull, so I'm sure I can expect a full crowd. The fans in the Sacramento area are great to race in front of!"
"Duane Knorr and I have hashed through a lot and, to be blunt, feel pretty strongly that we’ve identified a lot of where we missed the mark in Texas. We are really looking forward to getting back to the racetrack!"
