MITCHELL 32nd
AT THE ROCK
ROCKINGHAM, NC (Nov 2) ........ West Virginia driver Richard
Mitchell
concluded his 2002 NASCAR BUSCH Series campaign by driving the
Coach USA /
Mountaineer Gaming / West Virginia "Wild and Wonderful" Monte
Carlo to a 32nd
place finish in Saturday afternoon's SAM CLUB 200 event at the
North Carolina
Speedway.
Mitchell, who posted the 34th quickest time in the 51-car field
during
Friday's qualifying session at the 1.017-mile tri-oval, was
philosophical
about his finish.
"I was never able to keep the car down on the white line going
into the
corners," said the two-time NASCAR Northeast Region Weekly
Racing Series
champion, "the more I ran, the more the car pushed-up the race
track. New
tires helped correct the situation for awhile, but you grind
them up pretty
fast at this place."
"No one likes to finish 32nd," added Mitchell, but we
accomplished our
primary goal by qualifying for the event and running the entire
race. This
is a tough series to crack, especially when you run an
independent car with
all part-time people working on it. The BUSCH deal is so
competitive right
now, that it is a victory to qualify for the race. There were a
couple of
NASCAR touring series champions that went home this weekend
I'm proud of
our guys..... we have been competitive all year against teams
that have far
more resources. I was able to get seat time this season and get
a feel for
the series. We'll have to go from there."
