TRG Motorsports to run Daytona 500 with Lally
TRG Motorsports will field its #71 Chevrolet in the Daytona 500 with Andy Lally at the controls. "We're going to stand on our own two feet," said TRG owner Kevin Buckler today. "We had a lot of people contact us about doing various owner point deals, but we decided to say `no" to them all. We're going to put Andy Lally in the car for the Daytona 500 and make use of our own owner points." Lally made seven Sprint Cup starts for TRG last year, with a top finish of 18th at Watkins Glen. He is fresh off a GT class win in the Rolex 24 at Daytona driving for TRG, and will be a guaranteed starter in the 500. Buckler declined to comment on what offers he received for his 35th-place 2010 owner points, laughing, "I'm staying completely out of that." Sirius Speedway
