MITCHELL
QUALIFIES 8TH AT MICHIGAN
Brooklyn, MI (June 14) .... West Virginia's Richard Mitchell
will start his
Coach USA, Mountaineer Gaming, West Virginia Tourism Pontiac
Grand Prix on
the outside of row four in tomorrow's running of the ARCA RE/MAX
series
Flagstar 200 at Michigan International Speedway.
The West Virginia University graduate cruised around the two
mile tri-oval in
39.914 seconds (180.388 mph), marking the fastest lap he has
ever turned at
the Michigan facility. "We never ran 180 mph here before, but I
guess it
wasn't quite fast enough," Mitchell said. "The car has been
quick all
weekend. We tried a few different things in the morning
practice session
today, but the didn't seem to help."
"We were going to adjust the car a bit and work on the race
setup during
Happy Hour," Mitchell said, "but that got rained out, so we'll
go with our
original setup. The car is strong...I think we can run with the
leaders all
day."
The Flagstar 200 will be televised on a same-day tape delay
basis by the
Speedchannel cable network, from 8:00 - 10:00 PM EDT Saturday
evening.
