"Duane (Knorr) and I are learning more and more each week and, after the strong showings we have had at the last two short track races, I really believe we will be a threat to win in Roseburg."— Paulie Harraka
Drivers that have won at their first visit to Douglas County Speedway include NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Peyton Sellers in 2006 and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Brian Ickler in 2007, who both piloted a NAPA entry from BMR. A win from Harraka would put him in great company.
"Our NAPA AutoCare Toyota team has really been coming together over the last few weeks,” said Harraka. “Duane (Knorr) and I are learning more and more each week and, after the strong showings we have had at the last two short track races, I really believe we will be a threat to win in Roseburg. I haven't been there before, but I'm fortunate in that I can draw from a crew chief, car owner, and teammate who have all been successful there!"
