Harrah's No. 14 Monte Carlo
Notes & Quotes: NASCAR Busch Series Food City 250

On Bristol:
"Having been there once before, I know the track now so we can concentrate on the qualifying set-up. The last time we were at Bristol, we had to take a provisional. We stayed out of trouble in the first half of that race but we got tagged from behind towards the end. Bristol is a race of survival. If we stay out of trouble and finish, it will probably be a good finish. That's what we're planning on."

On Michigan: Qualifying a career-best fifth, Foyt ran in the top-four in the beginning of the race. As the car's handling changed, he lost a little ground but was still running in the top-10 when his first pit stop proved to be the young team's downfall.

"We were excited about going to Michigan," said Foyt. "Jon Wolfe and the guys worked hard preparing the Harrah's Monte Carlo and David Evans found some more power in the engine, so we found some speed at Michigan. We were able to stay up front until the car got a little tight and started pushing. Even with that, we stayed in the top-10 and were looking to correct it on the next pit stop. Unfortunately, our front tire changer had a problem and we came out of the pits in 22nd position. We couldn't make up that much time and ended up finishing 18th. Our Harrah's team took it to heart though and they're working even harder during their pit stop practice this week. I've got a great bunch of guys."

Mark Green, brother
to NBS champions David and Jeff, has been working with Larry during race weekends as a consultant. "Mark has been really helpful to me," said Foyt. "He's a race driver so he knows how a driver approaches things. He's been able to shorten my learning curve and that just makes it easier on my whole Harrah's Racing team."
 


Points standing: Foyt is 22nd in the driver's points; he has earned $300,207.
