MITCHELL
QUALIFIES 23RD AT RICHMOND
RICHMOND, VA (Sept. 5) ......... West Virginia Driver Richard
Mitchell will
line up 23rd for Friday evening's NASCAR Busch Series FUNAI 250
at the
Richmond International Raceway. Mitchell, a two-time NASCAR
Northeast region
Weekly Racing Series champion drove is Coach USA/Mountaineer
Gaming/West
Virginia Wild and Wonderful Chevrolet Monte Carlo around the
0.75 mile
D-shaped oval in a time of 21.809 seconds (123 .802 mph) to
record his
personal best Busch qualifying effort.
"After struggling at our past two races, I'm just really happy
for everyone
on this race team," Mitchell said. "We tested here (Richmond)
last week and
weren't particularly happy with the car, so we took it home and
rebuilt it
from front to back. We were six-tenths of second faster today.
My hat's off
to everyone on this Coach USA team.
"Hopefully, we'll be good in the race, too," Mitchell added.
"The car works
well on the bottom, and that's where you need to race to be
successful at
Richmond."
The FUNAI 250 will be telecast live Friday on the TNT cable
network beginning
at 8:00 PM EDT. The race will also be broadcast on the MRN
radio network.
