MILLINGTON, Tenn., (June 27, 2009) – A savvy pit strategy proved to be the best call for David Starr in the MemphisTravel.com 200 at Memphis Motorsports Park. Under the scorching heat Crew Chief Jason Miller made the call to top off with fuel early in the race and then only have to pit for tires in the following laps. The strategy played out according to plan when Starr inherited the second spot while others pitted for fuel. Then Starr was able to hold his own conserving all the fuel he could until the final shootout to the end. He brought his No. 24 HT Motorsports Toyota Tundra home in the third position.
