mi2_9568 Brian Ickler will take to the track in the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort / Samsung Instinct Toyota Tundra at Milwaukee Mile Friday, June 19, 2009 for the running of the Camping World 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race.

Ickler has five career starts in the Camping World Truck Series starts for Billy Ballew Motorsports posting one pole start (Michigan) and two top-five finishes (Kansas, Michigan). 

This will be the 23 year-old driver’s first start at the flat mile track in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Billy Ballew Motorsports has 13 previous starts at the Milwaukee Mile with a best finish of ninth place position in 1996 posted by Mark Gibson.

“I’m looking forward to going back to a short track,” Ickler said.  “It is easier to learn what these trucks do on the short tracks. From what I understand Milwaukee is a race track that you need to have a truck that turns well.  It is the complete opposite of the last short track we were at in Dover.  Dover has lots of banking and is a fast mile track whereas Milwaukee is probably the slowest short track we go to.  You have to have a truck that unloads well and I know that Doug George, Richie Wauters and the rest of the Billy Ballew Motorsports team has done everything they can to get us the best truck we can have when we get there.”

Miccosukee Resort will serve as the primary sponsor on the No. 51 Camping World Truck with Samsung Instinct as the associate sponsor. 

The Camping World 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race is slated to begin at 9:00 ET Friday, June 19, 2009 and will be broadcast live on SPEED.
