Green Finishes 36th at Bristol in McFlurry Taurus
"First of all, the car was really good -- it was excellent," said David Green, substituting for an injured Bill Elliott. "A lot of things I was working with was stuff I hadn't experienced in about a year, but everything was going fine.

"They had that wreck up there, I guess somebody spun, and we all missed it and as I came through it I noticed the yellow light wasn't on. The spotter said keep going it's still green. I actually had passed Kyle and thought I had enough momentum that when we got to the corner I was clear of him, so I came down and he was there and we both met. It's one of them deals I guess, it's Bristol.

"It's disappointing because from the time the car unloaded it was fast. If Bill was in it, it would probably have been on the pole or somewhere close to it, but I was trying to catch up with the car more than the car was to me. I feel real bad. There's Bill sitting back hurt at home and I'm sure he was excited to see how good his car was running because it was a great car. It still is, it's just got minor damage back there but we can't get back out to go finish."

Bristol Notes

  • Elliott suffered a fractured left kneecap earlier this week while doing some work around the house and may not be able to race this weekend
  • Elliott had surgery on the knee Tuesday night, so the team has asked David Green to fill in
  • Elliott had tested for two days here after the race at Watkins Glen with a brand new car
  • The only thing the team has done since the test is give it a name -- "Ready Mix"
  • The name is in reference to the concrete surface at Bristol
  • If it survives the weekend without major damage it will likely run again at Dover -- the other concrete track on the circuit
  • Elliott's previous concrete car -- named "Rock Crusher" -- was lost in a practice accident at Dover in June after qualifying on the outside pole
  • Elliott's car will be sporting a different paint scheme and referred to as the McFlurry Taurus.
