PARKER, Arizona — Greg Pursley, driver of the StarNursery.com/Gene Price Motorsports #62 Chevy Silverado in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, is eagerly awaiting his return to race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this Saturday, September 25, 2010.
The team fresh off a win at Miller Motorsports Park, Utah in the NASCAR K&N Pro West Series is partnering with StarNursery.com for two NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races. One at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and the other at Phoenix International Raceway November 12, 2010. StarNursery.com who's an online store for irrigation, landscape, lighting, tools, fertilizers, pottery and garden supplies has been a long-time supporter of NASCAR, Greg Pursley and Gene Price Motorsports. Gene Price (Owner, Gene Price Motorsports) is excited to partner with them and race in their hometown, Las Vegas, Nevada. "I feel we have a competitive truck we purchased from KHI Inc., an awesome engine from ECR and coming off our win in Utah has provided our team with the confidence needed to succeed." said Price.
Pursley's first attempt in the truck series netted him a solid top ten finish last July at Iowa Speedway. Both Pursley and Jerry Pitts (Crew Chief) were ecstatic with a 6th place qualifying effort and 8th place finish in their debut race. "Racing in Las Vegas feels like a homecoming of sorts in teaming with StarNursery.com and with our team and equipment Gene Price Motorsports has provided, we're looking to repeat our performance from Iowa and continue our momentum to finish out the 2010 season." said Pursley
Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a 1.5 mile high-banked super speedway that's guaranteed to provide exciting side by side racing.
