Darlington, SC. (May 9,
2008)- The no. 21 Motorcraft
Ford Fusion, driven by Bill
Elliott, will start in the
20th position in Saturday
night’s Dodge Challenger 500
at Darlington Raceway.
The “Lady In Black” made
her mark on several race
cars in this qualifying
session, however, Bill
Elliott drove the retro
schemed #21 Motorcraft Ford
unscathed for the two
designated qualifying laps
and secured the 20th
position with a fast lap
time of 27.818 seconds and a
speed of 176.778 mph.
Elliott described how
different the newly paved
surface is from the last
time he raced "The Track Too
Tough To Tame” in 2003. He
said, “It’s not the same
Darlington. It’s going to be
a little bit harder to race
on because everybody seems
to be running closer to the
same speed.” He also added,
“There’s a lot of grip and
that’s one of the pluses and
minuses of new pavement.
You’ve got a lot of grip
until it finally gives up
and when it does give up
it’s pretty big, but it’s
still typical Darlington. I
still say you’ve got to race
the race track and I still
say that’s the way it’s
going to be come Saturday
night.”
Watch Bill Elliott and
the #21 Wood Brothers
Motorcraft Ford Fusion race
in the Dodge Challenger 500
on Fox at 7p.m. ET Saturday,
May 10th.
