I made my first start in The Busch Series here in 1992. I have a lot of confidence when I take to the track here and I feel we can have a real strong run Friday Night." "We are using the same car that was so fast in St. Louis. If I could qualify 3rd here like I did in St. Louis, I would be in great position for the race. We want to make sure we are patient throughout the race and make a charge over the last 50 laps. With solid pit stops and a little bit of luck, we could record our best finish ever." PIT NOTES Bailey's Heating and Air Conditioning will be an associate sponsor on the #99 Luxaire Chevrolet Friday Night. Allen will be racing his drop-snout chassis race car here this weekend. Allen qualified in the top five at St. Louis and Nazareth using the car earlier in the year. By J&J Racing Public Relations
