Donny Lia Looks to Let it Ride at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
(Huntington, NY) The bright lights and fast past action of the Las Vegas strip adds the speed and roar of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series this weekend. Donny Lia and Stringer Motorsports, fresh off a 12th place finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, are ready to hit it big at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
“It’s Vegas! It’s such a fun place to go to for so many reasons,” says Lia. “Who doesn’t like the bright lights and excitement of Las Vegas? It’s also a very exciting race track. To be honest with you, I always had New Hampshire circled on my calendar, but Vegas is actually a close second for a lot of reasons. I like the city and really like the track. I have family out there and am looking forward to having them at the track with me. Plus, we have a lot of momentum going after our effort at New Hampshire. ”

LOUDON, N.H.(Sept. 19, 2010) — The picture told the story.
Clint Bowyer’s No. 33 Chevrolet spun in a cloud of smoke as Bowyer celebrated Sunday’s victory in the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
In the same frame, Tony Stewart’s No. 14 Chevy coasted slowly across the finish line, out of fuel and out of the running for a race win that had seemed a distinct possibility barely more than a lap earlier.
Bowyer, the last driver to qualify for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, and Stewart both gambled on fuel after pitting for the last time on Lap 208 of 300 at the 1.058-mile racetrack.
