HUNGRY DRIVERS RACING NOTES & QUOTES:
The Hungry Drivers(tm) program kicks off with the 2004 season opener
Hershey's Kisses 300 at Daytona International Speedway on February 14, 2004.
Paul Wolfe will be the first of four drivers to climb behind the wheel of
the No 6 Hungry Drivers(tm) throughout the season. Following Daytona, he
will compete in events at North Carolina Speedway and Las Vegas Motor
Speedway. Wolfe has spent the last four years competing in the Busch North
Series, where in 36 starts he posted 15 top-10's, seven top-five's and two
pole awards. Wolfe has just two NASCAR Busch Series starts under his belt
including Dover Int'l Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway, both in 2003.
Driver, Paul Wolfe on restrictor plate racing:
"This will be my first time competing in a restrictor plate race and I am
looking forward to the new challenge. This is what I have worked hard over
the years to get to, to race at the world center of racing - Daytona
International Speedway. I have a lot to learn in a short period of time as
far as drafting goes but I have always been a pretty quick learner in the
seat of a race car. During the last couple of practice sessions we'll try
to get around some of the better cars and see how the No. 6 Hungry
Drivers(r) Dodge stacks up. If the test session is any indication, we have
a good enough car to start up front and stay up front. Being comfortable n
the draft and finding some good drafting partners will be crucial."
Driver, Paul Wolfe on Daytona test:
"Our test session in Daytona a couple of weeks ago has given this team a lot
of confidence. After struggling a bit the first day, we came back on day
two and just made incredible progress. We focused on qualifying trim and
ended up posting one of the fastest laps of the day. I was disappointed that
we did not get the opportunity to run in race trim and see how the car
handles in the draft but that will come during the last couple of practice
sessions before the race. Overall, we were very satisfied with how the car
performed during the test and the whole team is really pumped up about going
back, going racing and make our sponsors, Ragu(r) pasta sauce,
Hellmann's(r) mayonnaise and Shedd's Spread Country Crock(r) proud."
Press Conference: Unilever Bestfoods Brands, Ragu(r), Hellmann's(r), and
Country Crock(r), will hold a press conference on Friday, February 13, 2004
at 9am in the Media Center to make several important announcements regarding
the 2004 Hungry Drivers(tm) program.
