UAW-GM Quality 500 - Mike Bliss Notes

Mike Bliss/NetZero Best Buy Racing Lowe's Fast Facts

Mike Bliss, driver of the NetZero Best Buy Chevrolet, will make his 66th NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series start when the green flag drops for the UAW-GM Quality 500 at Lowe’s (Concord, N.C.) Motor Speedway.

BLISS ON LOWE’S…“ If testing was any indication of how things are going to go in Charlotte, then we’re definitely in for an interesting weekend. Hopefully we’ve already got our problems there out of the way, but I’d be lying if I said we weren’t walking in there with some level of concern. I think everyone is to some extent. We ran well there in May – qualified well and had a pretty good car there right off the truck – so despite the problems we had in testing, we’re still looking forward to getting there. We had a good run last week in Kansas and that helps, because the month of September was pretty rough for us. I like Charlotte, always have, so we’ll just head over there and see what we’ve got for the weekend.”

LOWE’S NOTES OF INTEREST

  • The Haas CNC Racing team will utilize chassis 017 for the running of the UAW-GM Quality 500 this weekend at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. This is the same car Mike Bliss drove in the event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The team was planning to bring a different car to this race, but an accident during a recent test session at the track altered those plans.
  • Mike Bliss has made three NASCAR NEXTEL Cup starts on the 1.5-mile oval, including a 15th-place finish earlier this season after qualifying in the eighth spot. Bliss also has four Busch Series starts at this track. In a total of seven events he has run at the track Bliss has earned four Top-15 finishes.
  • Bliss scored his first Busch Series victory last season in the running of the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 300 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
