Lazier to drive #15 at Vegas: Billy Ballew Motorsports has announced that former Indy Racing League champion and Indianapolis 500 winner Buddy Lazier will drive its #15 Chevy in the Sept. 22 Craftsman Truck Series race at Las Vegas. Lazier, a former International Race of Champions runner-up, previously tested one of Ballew's trucks at Lowe's Motor Speedway in 2005. "IROC really was an eye-opener for me into the world of stock-car racing," Lazier said. "Racing with the best in the Nextel Cup and Busch Series, as well as other race drivers, was a blast. It was probably the most fun racing experience for me in my 20 years of professional motorsports [and] I've been trying to find the right opportunity since then." His test with Ballew was part of that. "I was pretty cautious but our times were comparable to the other trucks on the track and I knew I wanted to race for that team some day. The opportunity arose for us to race in Las Vegas and I am extremely excited. They are racers on that team and to me it's a perfect fit -- I feel right at home with the whole team. "I'll be studying up on last year's race this week and be looking forward to a lot of seat time during practice. I look forward to a good start and finish and see what develops from there. Obviously, I'd love to continue racing in a top-tier NASCAR series and hope I can make a good start next week in Las Vegas."(nascar.com)(9-15-2007)
