NASCAR Notes

After being bounced from his regular ride in the Hall of Fame 96 in favor of rookie Erik Darnell, Bobby Labonte has found a new home for those seven races in the 71 of TRG Motorsports.

This of course in replacement of David Gilliland who has already agreed to replace the injured Bill Elliott in the Wood Brothers famous 21 for this weekend's race at Atlanta. Elliott cracked three ribs while riding his dirt bike.

Gilliland will also make three starts in Joe Gibbs Racing 02 Farm Bureau machine. Those starts will come at Charlotte, Texas and Homestead.

On a happier note for the Elliott family, Bill's 13 year-old son Chase became the youngest winner in PASS South history after beating Venturini development driver Jeff Choquette in the Over The Mountain 150 at Hickory Motor Speedway last Saturday night.
