SAN FRANCISCO, California — The Golden Gate Racing Team's Blake Koch is scheduled to appear live on The Front Stretch Sirius XM Satellite Radio Show this Saturday morning from Portland, Oregon, as he prepares for this weekend's Bi-Mart Salute to the Troops 125 at Portland International Speedway Sunday.
Koch is scheduled to speak with host Pat Patterson on Saturday morning, shortly after 7 a.m. Pacific Time according to Kevin Green, Media Coordinator for NASCAR K&N Pro Series West. Koch and Patterson are expected to discuss the exciting Bi-Mart Salute to the Troops 125 that begins with practice later in the day and the expectations that the Golden Gate Racing Team and Richard Childress Racing have for Koch's Daystar #21 Chevrolet in the seventh round of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West.
Koch and the Golden Gate Racing Team are hoping to continue their recent rebound in the series point standings as they return to the campaign this weekend with the momentum of Koch's career-best second place two weeks ago in Irwindale. Koch is confident with his recent success and that a strong road course program employed by this Richard Childress supported team will net a top finish and possible his first career victory.
After a tough series of incidents that were no fault of their own, Koch and the Golden Gate Racing Team are opening many eyes on the western tour as they have made a tremendous comeback in the point standings. Koch is currently in 7th place in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series Championship point standings. During the 2010 season, Koch has been named the NASCAR Featherlite Most Improved Driver two different times during the campaign.
In his second full NASCAR racing season, Koch pilots a Chevrolet Impala that carries a number of unique faith based sponsorships, including the Daystar Television Network, primary sponsor for the #21 team owned by San Francisco businessman Jim Offenbach. The GGRT/RCR organization is one of few motor sports venues that have partnered faith-based organizations and their relationship has proved to be a great success in the NASCAR Community. They strive to carry a positive message to the NASCAR community at every event where they compete and along the highways in which their impressive hauler is visible -- traveling from race to race in pursuit of the 2010 NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Championship.
Associate sponsors on the DayStar Television Network Chevrolet include Tire Kingdom and I Am Second. Additional associate sponsors currently include the Golden Gate Meat Company, Superior Lamb Company, Bay Bio-Diesel/Golden Gate Petroleum, Hill Meat Company, Foodcomm International, Signco and Harraka Racing Equipment Sales.
