MITCHELL STARTS 16th AT TALLADEGA

TALLADEGA, AL (Oct. 3) ........West Virginia driver Richard Mitchell will
start from outside the eighth row in Saturday afternoon's Food World 300 ARCA
RE/MAX  Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.

The two-time NASCAR Northeast Region Weekly Racing series champion drove his
Coach USA / Mountaineer Gaming / West Virginia "Wild and Wonderful" Pontiac
Grand Prix around the 2.66 mile Talladega tri-oval in a time of 53.007
(180.655 mph).

"I told the guys on the crew that we would qualify 15th down here
(Talladega)," laughed Mitchell, "I missed my prediction by one spot!"  "We
knew we wouldn't be in the top-10 in qualifying, because the Pontiac body on
this car just pushes too much air when it is running by itself," Mitchell
continued,  "we got as much out of it as we could."

Mitchell feels the actual race on Saturday will be another story, however. 
"I think we have a great shot in the race..... the car works very well in the
draft, and I can put it anywhere on the track," added the West Virginia
University graduate. "We have a good race package.  Our plan is to draft our
way to the front, and see what happens."

The Talladega Food World 300 will be telecast on a same day tape-delay basis
on the SPEED CHANNEL cable network from 8-11:00 PM (ET).
