Wreck Dampens Promising Run For Fadden Racing’s Albarracin While Laing’s Debut Nets Impressive 11th Place Finish
Jefferson, Ga. (August 30, 2010): Fadden Racing experienced a roller coaster day at the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East debut at Gresham Motorsports Park this weekend. Development driver and Columbia native Julian Albarracin was well on his way to a top-15 finish when he spun the No. 54 AAIC Chevrolet and hit the wall off of turn two at lap 90. The damage was too extensive and the team made the call to park the car for the remainder of the event. Tyler Laing, who was making his series debut in the No. 61 Ultimate Fish Scaler/Myachi.com Chevrolet, posted an impressive 11th place finish.
Albarracin, who never even tested at Gresham Motorsports Park, used the first practice session to become familiar with the track and improved steadily throughout the day. He posted his quickest lap during time trials and earned a 23rd place starting position. (more…)

Kobyluck Charges To 5th Place Finish In Backup Car
Jefferson, Ga. (August 30, 2010): Matt Kobyluck posted a top-five finish in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East debut at Gresham Motorsports Park this past weekend, and catapulted the Mohegan Sun Casino race team into sixth place in the points with only two races remaining in the season. Kobyluck began the weekend with a wrecked car after a flat tire sent him into the turn three wall during practice and forced the team to go to a backup car.
“This finish feels like a win,” admitted Kobyluck. “Considering the circumstances, yeah, I’m happy. We destroyed our primary car in the last five minutes of practice, pulled out our backup car and started dead last only to finish fifth – I can’t find much complaining in that.” (more…)
