Defending Craftsman Truck Series champion Ted Musgrave has been tapped by FitzBradshaw Racing to pilot the No. 14 Family Dollar car in the Kroger 200 benefiting Riley Hospital for Children at O'Reilly Raceway Park.
"Having Ted in the car is exciting for our team, as well as sponsor Family Dollar," said Armando Fitz, team owner. "He is a proven winner and a NASCAR series champion. We're going into this weekend with confidence in our team and driver choice. I feel very strongly we can achieve positive results with this combination."
Musgrave's last Busch race at O'Reilly Raceway Park in 2000 resulted in a 21st place finish. The last time Musgrave competed in a NASCAR Busch Series race was in September 2004 at Richmond International Raceway.
Musgrave will benefit from having driven 200 laps around the .686-mile oval before climbing into the Family Dollar car the following night. The veteran will compete in the Power Stroke Diesel 200 NCTS race Friday night at ORP.
"I'm looking forward to working with FitzBradshaw Racing this weekend," states Musgrave. "O'Reilly Raceway Park has been a good track for me in the Craftsman Truck Series, I've run well there in the past. This is a great opportunity to race the Family Dollar car for FitzBradshaw Racing. I think it's going to be a lot of fun."
The Kroger 200 benefiting Riley Hospital for Children will be broadcast live on both TNT and MRN Radio beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET.
