USG Sheetrock 400 - Mike Bliss Notes

Bliss/NetZero Best Buy Racing Chicagoland Fast Fact

Mike Bliss, driver of the NetZero Best Buy Chevrolet, will make his 53rd NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series start when the green flag drops for the USG Sheetrock 400 at Chicagoland Speedway Sunday.

BLISS ON CHICAGOLAND SPEEDWAY... "Every time we go to Chicagoland Speedway the racing gets a little better. The first time we went there it was pretty much a one-groove track, but in the past couple of years it has opened up a bit and I expect it will be even better this time around. Qualifying will still be pretty important and it will be really important to be close to the front near the end of the race because I expect it will still be pretty hard to pass. Hopefully the NetZero Best Buy Chevy will roll off the truck well and we'll be able to run the top or the bottom groove depending on which is fastest. The track is really a lot like Las Vegas and we ran pretty well there, so I think we've got a shot at putting together a good run. We need it. We hope last weekend was the start of things getting back on track for us. We had a rough couple of weeks before that and we needed to stay out of trouble and get ourselves headed in the right direction again in Daytona, which is what we did. We're looking forward to Chicago. There's no reason to think we shouldn't walk out of there with a solid Top-15 finish."
