Hall of Fame Racing at California Speedway

In his first NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at California Speedway for Hall of Fame Racing, Tony Raines finished 23rd. That was in February.
This time around, Hall of Fame Racing will be bringing the same car Raines race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The car qualified well, 11th, but Raines got in a wreck with Kasey Kahne and posted a 41st place finish.
The car has been repaired and will be the team's primary car for Sunday's race at California Speedway.
“I think it was the best body we had and it was a great chassis at Indy, up until we crashed," said Raines, driver of the No. 96 Chevrolet for Hall of Fame, which is owned in part by Troy Aikman. "I think the confidence I have is because the DLP guys have worked really hard. The cars have been faster, lately. We’ve just had some bad luck on finishing positions. We’re pretty confident that we’ll be better. We’re shooting for improvement in qualifying and then getting the car running well in the race.”
Jeff Green and Raines had a bet on who would finish higher in the Cup race at Bristol. Green passed Raines on the last lap of the race and finished one spot ahead, in 27th place.
As a result, Raines will have to wear one of Green's Best Buy hats during the race weekend at California Speedway. Best Buy is one of the sponsors on Green's No. 66 Chevrolet for Haas/CNC Racing.
"Jeff got us by one position on the last lap, which was disappointing," Raines said. "But, I’m happy to wear a Best Buy hat at California. DLP and Best Buy have a great relationship and I have no problem supporting that by wearing a Best Buy hat. Hopefully, it will encourage people to by their DLP HDTV at Best Buy. It was a fun little wager that Jeff and I had at Bristol and I think the folks at DLP and Best Buy enjoyed it, too.”
