Fredericton, NB –  Travis Kittleson announced today that he will be entering the 9th Annual Peterbilt 250 at Speedway 660.  Kittleson is a native of Merrit Island Florida, but now resides in Mooresville, NC.  Regional fans have seen Kittleson at the last two Peterbilt 250s.

Most noticeably last year as he sat on the pole and dominated the early part of the race.  Travis thought last year was going to seal the deal in his quest to win his first Peterbilt 250 but tire problems took him out of contention.  “Last year we had a great car with the Cushman team.  We really clicked and it was a ton of fun.  I couldn’t wait to get back up here again ”  says Kittleson.

With Cushman stepping back some from Pro Stock racing Kittleson decided to hook up with Lonnie Sommerville for this years 250.   “Travis and I have been talking about this for several months and we are both really excited to get to the track on Labour Day weekend.”  said Lonnie Sommerville
