Homestead-Miami Speedway

Larry Miami race wrap-up...

Larry Foyt started 31st and finished 24th in the final NASCAR Busch Series race of the year at Homestead-Miami Speedway November 10th.

"We were better on the shorter runs which was just the opposite of what we'd been most of the season," said Foyt. "I could pass cars on fresh tires but then the handling would go away. The car wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either. We gambled on a couple yellows and it didn't work to our advantage so we lost a couple laps. Overall it was a pretty uneventful race."

Foyt finished the season 22nd in the driver's standings and 27th in the owner's standings. His best start was fifth at Michigan Speedway in August and his best finish was 12th at Talladega Superspeedway in April.

Foyt will continue to drive his No. 14 Harrah's Chevrolet Monte Carlo in the NASCAR Busch Series next year.
 

Notes & Quotes:
NASCAR Busch Series Homestead/GNC Live well 300

On Homestead/Miami: "We're taking the car that we built in our shop – it's the first car that we've built this year. We tested it at Homestead last month and were really pleased with the way it ran. I believe this race is our best chance of the year to get a strong finish. My team is really starting to gel and things are coming together for me as a driver. I know Homestead is a tough track to drive because you have to hit your marks every lap. It's easy to under-drive it or over-drive it. The track has such long corners that you have to sustain the car under turning load for a long time while getting back on the throttle as quickly as possible. It's challenging but I enjoy challenges."

Treasure Hunt! When the NASCAR Busch Series race starts with 43 drivers vying for the top prize this Saturday in Miami, 30 contestants will start looking for the $1 million top prize in the Harrah's Treasure Hunt in the Las Vegas desert. The contestants are winners from a national promotion that took place at all of the Harrah's properties. One lucky contestant will pick the right treasure map that leads to the $1 million prize while the others' maps will lead them on a wild goose chase in the desert. Larry's race car features the Treasure Hunt logo on the hood.

On the past race at Rockingham: Larry Foyt qualified 17th but finished 29th in the Sam's Club 200 NASCAR Busch Series race at North Carolina Speedway. "There were some changes made to the car to adjust for track conditions in the heat of the day that just didn't work. The car was extremely loose, so much so I had to pit early under green to change it. The car was so much better after that change I was able to get a lap back on the track by passing the leader. But then the yellows didn't work to our advantage and we got caught out and lost a couple laps. Overall, the car ran decent but we just didn't get the breaks we needed to make up for the problem we had early in the race."
