Antelope, CA – Confident that they can get the job done, Eric Holmes and the #20 NAPA AUTO PARTS team are making the trip from the Bill McAnally Racing headquarters in Antelope, California to Newton, Iowa to compete in the U.S. Cellular “200”. This is the fourth race of the 13 race NASCAR Camping World Series West schedule. Eric Holmes, driver of the #20 NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota Camry is currently second in the chase for the series championship and only seventeen points out of the lead. Holmes has one Coors Light Pole Award in 2008 and two wins in three starts.

“Our crew chief Ty Joiner and the crew back at the BMR race shop have been putting in a lot of hours preparing the No. 20 NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota for this race,” said Holmes. “The multi-grooved race track in Iowa should make for some exciting racing. I'm really looking forward to Iowa. It’s an awesome fast track with great fans and I'm really looking forward to the competition from the east teams. 200 laps and pit strategy at Iowa will be challenging along with the level of competition. We go to every race focused on winning the race and being aggressively smart. Iowa is probably our biggest race of the year and definitely a race we want to win for BMR, NAPA and Toyota.”

The “U.S. Cellular 200” at Iowa Speedway will be on Sunday, May 18th. The race will be televised live on HDNet at 2:15 pm PST and broadcast in an enhanced replay on SPEED Channel. The “US Cellular 200” is the fourth event on the 2008 schedule for the NASCAR Camping World Series West and the second event for the NASCAR Camping World Series East. It is the only combination point race this season for the NASCAR Camping World Series. This is only the second time the teams have raced at Iowa Speedway.
