Mike Christopher Jr. To Start 29th In Craftsman Truck Series Race At NHMS; Corey Heim On The Pole

LOUDON, N.H. – Stafford Speedway SK Modified division regular Mike Christopher Jr. will make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut from the 29th starting position in Saturday’s Team EJP 175 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. 

Christopher was 29th fastest of 36 drivers taking time in Craftsman Truck Series qualifying Friday at NHMS. 

Christopher was 27th of 36 drivers during Craftsman Truck Series practice. 

“I don’t really have the speed in it right now. But they’re explaining skew right now and like the feeling of getting into the corner and the thing pitches sideways and the air catches it,” Christopher said. “I don’t know. I have all night to think about it and figure out what I can change. … Obviously wish I was better. I have 175 laps to gain trust in it.”

Christopher will do double-duty on Saturday in Loudon. He will also run the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Mohegan Sun 100. He will start 11th in his first series start in Loudon. 

Corey Heim won the pole for Saturday’s Team EJP 175.
