PARKER, Arizona — Greg Pursley, driver of the Gene Price Motorsports/StarNursery.com #62 Chevy Silverado in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and #26 Ford in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West is primed and ready to race in both series races this upcoming weekend, November 12th and 13th, 2010.
Friday's "Lucas Oil 150" will be Pursley's third attempt in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. His debut performance was in July at Iowa Speedway where he netted a solid top ten qualifying and finishing position. His most recent race was at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in September where he ran 2nd in practice and qualified 14th, but due to a mechanical failure was unable to finish the race.
Pursley, who's always been a fan of Phoenix is excited for the opportunity to race in this series at one of his favorite tracks. Phoenix is a track where everyone wants to win. A place that every aspiring racer wants to race.
"I'm really looking forward to racing in both series at Phoenix", said Pursley. "We're really good on the big tracks and have a lot of confidence about racing them." Pursley who owns the track record at Phoenix in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series finished 3rd in that series event earlier this year and is currently 7th in the points standings with one race left in the season.
Gene Price (Owner, Gene Price Motorsports) was happy to partner with StarNursery.com for the Las Vegas and Phoenix races.
