Coming off of an 18th place finish at Fontana, Yates Racing driver Travis Kvapil has a lot to look foward to heading into Las Vegas. In last year's UAW-Dodge 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Kvapil earned one of his four top-10 finishes of the 2008 season.

Always enjoying the races in Sin City, Kvapil looks to collect a strong result this weekend.

"I've always enjoyed racing at Las Vegas," stated Kvapil. "Ever since they reconfigured the track, I've really liked going out there. I won a truck race there a few years back and had a pretty good run last year there. We had a top-10 car under us last weekend and if we hadn't gone down a lap early in the race, I think we would have had a top-10 finish. Ben (Leslie) and all the guys on the No. 28 car did a great job last weekend overcoming qualifying and getting our car really good for the race."

On Thursday, Kvapil will go to Nellis Air Force Base and race an F-16 figher jet in a Ford Mustang.

"Yates Racing has a solid intermediate program and I know we should have a good run there this weekend. It's the Shelby 427 this weekend and on Thursday, I'm going out to Nellis Air Force Base to race an F-16 in a Ford Mustang. It should be a pretty exciting deal out there on Thursday."
