Miguel Paludo NCWTS Preview: Bristol Motor Speedway

Brazilian In Bristol…The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) heads to the mountains of Tennessee for the UNOH 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Paludo has three previous starts at the 0.533-mile oval, earning his best finish in his 2010 debut. Paludo battled back from 23rd to finish ninth in what was his first career NCWTS start.

 

ParabénsIn addition to being the site of his first ever Truck Series race in 2010, Bristol Motor Speedway is home to another special milestone for Paludo and his family. Son Oliver was born on August 22, 2011, in time to make his at-track debut for the 2011 Bristol race. Oliver, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at only eight months old, turns two the day after this year’s event.

 

This Week’s Silverado…Paludo and the No. 32 AccuDoc Solutions team will unload chassis TSM-216 this week at Bristol. TSM-216 was the chassis Paludo raced to a 10th-place finish at Rockingham Speedway in April. The truck most recently hit the track at Dover International Speedway in May.

Miguel Paludo on driving at Bristol Motor Speedway

“Bristol is a really special place for me. It’s where I made my first ever Truck Series start, and it’s a place where we have celebrated having Oliver in our life. It’s also just a special race because of the history, the setting, the short-track racing under the lights. The fans and the energy bring a higher level of excitement there. I’m looking forward to being able to carry the momentum of our last two finishes into Bristol, and I feel confident about the truck we’re bringing. We all keep saying that our first win is coming, and Bristol would be a very special place for that.”
