Team ESR, Silas Regroup from Pocono, Anticipate Michigan: Foggy weather played the leading role in last week's Pocono ARCA 200 at Pocono Raceway, abbreviating the 80 lap event to just 59 circuits. Silas maneuvered his No. 6 Rockingham Speedway/Bruiser Bait Toyota Camry around the 2.5-mile triangle during the practice session on Friday, recording lap times over one second faster than he had ever accomplished before. After qualifying 13th, Silas and the No. 6 Eddie Sharp Racing crew went to work under foggy conditions. Unfortunately, the team and driver duo was thrown another curve ball in the form of left front tire issues, relegating the 24-year-old driver to a 17th place finish.

This weekend at Michigan, Florida-native Silas will welcome Weaver Media as the primary sponsor on the No. 6 Camry. Silas has scored two top-ten finishes in the past two years at Michigan Speedway, and will have veteran NASCAR crew chief Trip Bruce directing the No. 6 crew from atop the pit box on Friday.

Bryan Silas on Michigan: "I always look forward to Michigan. It's a race track, I've ran very well at in the past. Eddie Sharp Racing also has enormous amount of success there, so I would like nothing more than to continue that trend not only for them but Rockingham Speedway and all of our supporters too."

Owner Eddie Sharp on Michigan: "Bryan has had a good streak of success at Michigan over the past two seasons, and we're prepared to help him continue that on Friday. The whole team is looking forward to having a fun and competitive weekend and we want to really take advantage of every opportunity and bounce back from the bad luck with the left front tire we had at Pocono last Saturday."

Chassis Information: Eddie Sharp Racing has prepared chassis No. 109 for Bryan Silas at Michigan. Much like teammate Robb Brent's machine, Silas' No. 6 Camry also has a stout history of victories in its past.
