Jason Leffler Quick Facts - Atlanta Motor Speedway

Jason Leffler Hoping for More Good Fortune in the No. 10… For the seventh time this season, Leffler is jumping into the driver’s seat of Braun Racing’s No. 10 Camry. In his previous six starts with the No. 10 team, Leffler has five top-10 and three top-five finishes, including a second-place finish in his last appearance in the car at Bristol Motor Speedway.

ABF Freight on the Hood … Long-time Braun Racing marketing partner, ABF Freight, will serve as primary sponsor on Leffler’s No. 10 Toyota Camry Saturday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway (AMS). This marks the sixth time this season the ABF will adorn the hood of the No. 10 with Leffler behind the wheel.

Great Clips 300 at Atlanta Motor Speedway… For the first time, Braun Racing marketing partner, Great Clips, will serve as title sponsor of the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) race this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Minneapolis-based, Great Clips Inc. is the longest-running primary sponsor in the Nationwide Series. They came onto the scene in 2001 as a primary sponsor of Akins Motorsports No. 38 entry, then driven by Christian Elder. Kasey Kahne drove the car from 2003-2005, before Leffler took over the wheel in 2006. This season, Leffler and Kahne share driving duties of the No. 38 Great Clips machine.

Atlanta Motor Speedway: By the Numbers… In five Nationwide Series appearances at the 1.54-mile track, Leffler has two top-10 starts (2003, 2008) and two top-10 finishes (2006, 2008) with two laps led. His average starting position is 20.6 with his average finish being 19.4

Leffler on Atlanta Motor Speedway

“It should be a great race at Atlanta this weekend. It’s one of the fastest tracks we go to, which makes the racing exciting for the drivers and the fans. I’ve always enjoyed going to Atlanta and racing at night always adds a little bit more excitement. We’ve had some really good runs this year in the 10 car. We’ve run in the top-10 in almost every race I’ve been in it and I’m really itching to get a win! Hopefully we can bring one home this weekend for ABF Freight and everyone at Braun Racing.”
