Stellantis Media Site SRT Motorsports - Camping World Truck Series Advance - Iowa Contact: Matthew  Simmons Adam  Saal Bill  Klingbeil SRT Motorsports - Camping World Truck Series Advance - Iowa July 10, 2012,  Auburn Hills, Mich. - RAM DRIVER QUOTES“The biggest thing about Iowa is it’s very much the short track that thinks it’s a superspeedway. It has the speed of a superspeedway and the feel of a superspeedway. But at the same time, it also has some unique characteristics that separate itself from anywhere else. The bump in Turn 1 on the bottom side is one of the biggest things that you hear about when drivers talk about Iowa. It’s a large bump and it’s right over the tunnel. It’s getting larger every year and it’s something that we have to be cognizant of how we set up our RAM. I think it’s very exciting and it’s unique. I have a lot of fun driving and racing there.”-- Parker KligermanPARKER KLIGERMAN– No. 29 Reese Towpower RAMCrew Chief: Doug RandolphCareer Stats:Starts: 34Wins: 0Top Fives: 5Top 10s: 13Poles: 0Laps Led: 322012 Season Stats:Starts: 8Wins: 0Top Fives: 1Top 10s: 4Poles: 0Laps Led: 1• Fifth in the series championship standings, 34 points behind leader Timothy Peters.

One of the key things is that you’ve got to have a truck that’s turning across that bump and the bump doesn’t push or kick it sideways loose.”-- Doug Randolph, Crew Chief, No. 29 Reese Towpower RAM
