Eric Norris To Drive #07 Pavestone Chevrolet in the “Built Ford Tough 225” Presented by The Greater Cincinnati Ford Dealers at Kentucky Speedway.
Stuntman, Movie Director and Race Driver Eric Norris will once again be behind the wheel of the #07 Pavestone Chevrolet Silverado, fielded by Green Light Racing. Norris will compete on the 1.5 mile Kentucky Speedway for the running of “The Built Ford Tough 225” Presented by The Greater Cincinnati Ford Dealers on Saturday July 9th in Sparta, KY. This will be Norris’s second NCTS start this season and his first time racing on the Kentucky track.
“I am looking forward to running in Kentucky. We had a great performance in Texas a few weeks ago,” Norris said. “We have some momentum built up going into this race. Bobby Dotter and Gene Christensen have a good team in place for the #07 Pavestone Chevrolet. I am confident our Silverado will be part of the mix.”
“Crew Chief Doug Howe and the Green Light team work very smart. They put solid trucks on the track,” Norris adds. “I think we have the right chemistry with this team and sponsor. Everyone communicates very well with each other. It is important to be with the right people. The Craftsman Truck Series has become really competitive. You have a mix of young guys and veterans and the racing is really fierce,” says Norris. “I think we have something good here going into Kentucky. I know this team will do everything that needs to be done, to be competitive. You will see some real racing in Kentucky. I am ready for it.”
