Frank At Concord
“South Carolina Native Off To Solid Start For Championship Crown”
Frank returning to the wheel of the No. 56 Speedco, Inc. / Lucas Oil / 3 Wide Apparel Chevrolet Impala for the first time since Iowa Speedway earlier this month knew that Concord was no easy task but he was hoping that with the minds and mentality surrounding his Mooresville, North Carolina-based team, their confidence would turn into ability on the track. Mac Hill Motorsports rented the legendary short track up for a private test session on Friday which allowed the MHM operation to shake down their Impala and prepare for Saturday night’s contest. While the team made strides throughout the day, Frank was optimistic heading into the one-day show under the North Carolina moon. In the first practice session on Saturday, Frank mounted the eighth fastest lap after whipping his Chevrolet bowtie around the track in 17.367 seconds at 103.645 miles per hour. Looking for a pick-up in the final practice session, Frank went to work with new crew chief Todd Myers, the duo put their heads together to try and improve the handling of their No. 56 Jack McNeilly-owned automobile.

The team opted to repair the severely damaged rear frame as their back-up car was already prepared for a test on Monday at Bristol Motor Speedway. So the wounded car was transported to a local shop for repair.

While rival cars powered around Bristol Motor Speedway Monday morning, Elliott devoted his attention to the No. 9 Ford. The former Sprint Cup champion examined the engine, chatted with crew members, checked his stop watch and deftly avoided reporters. Elliott was clearly on a quest for speed with his 15-year-old son Chase. Fourteen drivers from the USAR Pro Cup Series tested at BMS in preparation for a 200-lap race on Sept. 11. Bill Elliott won the 1988 Valleydale Meats 500 at Bristol. The younger Elliott has heard the stories and seen the images of NASCAR’s most popular short track. He’s eager for the real thing. "I’ve come to a bunch of races here with dad and I watched the [USAR] race here two years ago," Elliott said. "I’ve always loved Bristol. I’m just glad to finally be able to run on this track." The Sept. 11 racing program at BMS has been dubbed the American Freedom Spectacular. Read More JEFF AGNEW’S LUCK TURNS AROUND AT CONCORD SPEEDWAYCONCORD, N.C.

The Floyd, Va. native, took the lead from reigning Series Champion, Clay Rogers, on Lap 204 and set sail on the field. When the checkered flag fell, Agnew led the field by 3.078 seconds over second-place finisher, Caleb Holman. “Well I think its well deserved for the team, they’ve worked really hard,” said Agnew. “We’ve had a really good car all year, we just missed it a little bit. I don’t know if I could have done anything with Caleb [Holman] if he had got by Clay [Rogers] up here.” The driver of the No. 75 Food Country USA Chevrolet, Caleb Holman, started the Cabarrus Boys & Girls Club 250 from the pole for the second time this season. Holman, of Abingdon, Va., dominated the first half of the race, leading 127 of 250 laps.
