Follow on Google News | Justin Lofton, Eddie Sharp Racing and College Complete head to Pocono to tackle the Tricky TriangleJustin Lofton and his #6 CollegeComplete.com Toyota team are looking forward to Pocono August 6th after a difficult race at the Lucas Oil Raceway last week
By: collegecomplete.com Lofton and Sharp at Pocono: Lofton has been waiting for this weekend's run at Pocono Raceway for quite some time. Even though this is only the second trip to the 2.5-mile Pennsylvania track for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS), Lofton will be making his sixth start at the "Tricky Triangle." In 2008 Lofton made his debut at the Pennsylvania track within ARCA Racing Series competition. He made two starts that year in ARCA, while driving for ESR, with a best finish of 11th. The following year in 2009, Lofton wowed the crowd with a second place effort after leading 14 laps, followed by a dominant performance during the tour's return visit. He started from the pole, led 65 of the possible 82 laps and took home the trophy. Last year, while the NCWTS made their debut there, Lofton used his experience to his benefit by qualifying seventh, contending throughout the race, and finishing a solid fifth. Team owner Sharp's success within ARCA continued last year at Pocono as well, as Craig Goess visited victory lane giving Sharp his second straight Pocono win. In addition to Lofton's run on Saturday, Sharp will also be entered in the ARCA race, with driver Robb Brent behind the wheel. Brent also visited victory lane at Pocono last year. Truck information: Lofton on Pocono Raceway: "I am so excited about Pocono this weekend. Eddie (Sharp, team owner) and all of the guys at ESR always prepare competitive rides. We have had a lot of success together at Pocono. It is going to be an exciting weekend. It is a big race for our sponsor CollegeComplete.com too, and it will be nice to have some of them out showing their support. I'm really looking forward to Pocono, that is for sure." Sponsor support: Pocono is not only an exciting race for Lofton and his ESR team, but also an important one for sponsor CollegeComplete.com.
