<\/span>North Haverhill, N.H. (June 18, 2009)<\/strong>: Jonathan Smith, driver of the No. 16 Fadden Racing Chevrolet on the NASCAR Camping World Series East, has been steadily improving his stats under the guidance of car owner and two time champion Mike Olsen. But when the series returns to New Hampshire Motor Speedway on June 26th<\/sup>, Smith is going to get a first hand lesson on how to get around the 1.058-mile oval when Olsen joins him as a teammate for the Heluva Good 125. Olsen will return to his familiar No. 61 and will sport the blue and white color scheme that became synonymous with his late grandfather and racing legend, Stanley \u201cStub\u201d Fadden.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Olsen, who has 285 starts in the NASCAR Camping World Series East, will be making his season debut behind the wheel. K.D.D. Auto Parts is stepping up to sponsor the effort in Olsen\u2019s home state of New Hampshire.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>\u201cIt\u2019s a lot different now getting in the car and racing at New Hampshire. I\u2019m there to try and win it, and without the focus of points, it makes it a lot more fun for me,\u201d said Olsen. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled that K.D.D. came on board and that we\u2019ll be honoring my grandfather with the paint scheme.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Olsen won the 2001 and 2006 NASCAR Camping World Series East Championships and has started 47 races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway over his 20 year career in the series.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Smith joined Fadden Racing at the beginning of the season and posted his first top-10 of the season at Watkins Glen International road course just a couple of weeks ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>\u201cWe\u2019re definitely headed in the right direction,\u201d said Smith. \u201cI\u2019m anxious to keep it moving that way when we go to New Hampshire. We\u2019re aiming for a top-five finish, and with all the laps that Mike has had there, I know we\u2019ll be in good hands.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Always the competitive sportsman, Smith added, \u201cIt\u2019ll be more fun to see who can finish first!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>The Heluva Good! Summer 125 is slated to take the green flag on Friday, June 26th<\/sup> at 5 p.m. eastern time. For more information on Fadden Racing and its drivers, please visit <\/span>www.faddenracing.net<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
