COMPTON ON THE INAUGURAL RACE IN CHICAGO: 
“I think we can go to Chicagoland Speedway and be very competitive,” said Compton.  “I tested a truck there last year, and when Chad Knaus was my Cup Crew Chief, we always spent a lot of time up there testing because he’s from Rockford, just north of there.  We went there and tested several times, so I’ve got a lot of laps around Chicago.  Undoubtedly, the trucks will go there and just run wide open.  These mile and a half race tracks have turned into little Daytona and Talladega’s, where aerodynamics are really important.  If you take a good truck there, you can run well.  If you take a real draggy truck there, then you will not.  I think we’ve learned some things in the last six or seven weeks that are going to help us run really well at Chicago.  We’re going to keep our fingers crossed.  I’ve got a lot of laps there around there between Cup and Nationwide and I’ve tested there a lot.  I’m pretty familiar with the race track.”

COMPTON SIGNING TWICE FOR CHICAGO FANS:
Stacy Compton will be busy leading up to the start of the Chicagoland 225.  Compton is scheduled to sign autographs for fans in two locations at the speedway on Friday, August 28th.  Compton will be on-hand at the Toyota Pitpass display located in Champion’s Park from 12:30 to 12:55 p.m., and again in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series autograph session directly across from the Toyota display from 1 to 2 p.m.
