Sziasztok! Hi Fans!

Juan Pablo Montoya and No. 42 Target Team

Kansas History:  Juan Pablo Montoya will be making his fifth NSCS start at Kansas Speedway this weekend.  Montoya had his best career start last year at Kansas when he started in the seventh position and a career best finish of fourth in 2009. He has completed 99.7% of the possible laps at Kansas and has zero DNF’s.

Last Weekend: NASCAR teams readied themselves for the longest race of the season where they started out under sunny skies and finished under the bright lights of the speedway. Montoya lined-up the No. 42 car in the 29th position and focused on maintaining track position throughout the marathon race. The Target Chevrolet pitted a total of 11 times for fuel and adjustments to help alleviate the changing track conditions. Montoya would be credited with leading a lap at the midway point of the race and find himself in the 12th position as the checkered flag waved.

Finishing Strong:  Montoya was one of the biggest movers Sunday evening as he advanced 17 positions, 29th to 12th, from the beginning to the end of the race. He was also one of four drivers to have made at least 166 green flag passes during the evening.

Library Makeovers:  This month, Target announced 42 new schools from across the country will receive a new library as part of the 2011 Target School Library Makeover program.  By creating this program, Target is building a foundation for students to give them tools to prepare them for college, a career, and life.  This is one example of how Target is making an impact in local communities and helping to foster a love of reading among children nationwide.
