Tim Bainey Jr. and the No. 00 Aaron's Lucky Dog NASCAR Truck Series Team turned some heads with a very impressive 21st place qualifying effort for the Helluva Good 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

"We were pretty happy with the way we qualified," said a smiling Bainey just minutes after learning they were 21st in the 36 truck field.

"It's something we're still learning, but we beat some really good teams with that lap. The whole transition into the new series is something that will take time, but I'm really happy with where our Aaron's Dream Team is at right now."

The race would unfortunately end early for the No. 00 Aaron's Lucky Dog Truck Team after just 29 laps as a problem in the drivetrain led to quite a fire underneath the Aaron's Truck. Bainey was able to safely escape, but the damage was too extensive to continue in the race.

"We had a really good truck this weekend, and that is the bad part." said Bainey. "We've done a lot of work to get this thing right on, and I think we were really close with the setup this weekend. I really was hoping to see just how good it was as the race went on ... but we didn't make it that far."

"I'm not really sure what happened yet," said Bainey. "We'll know more when we get to the shop, but we had oil in some places it shouldn't have been ... and the fire tore some things up in the engine compartment. I don't really know, but it ruined a good day for our Aaron's Dream Team."

The team now turns its attention to the last event on their 2009 NASCAR Truck Series Schedule October 24th at Martinsville, VA.

Between now and then Bainey and the Aaron's Dream Team Express will continue their nationwide tour with a number of appearances over the next few weeks.
