The Wood Brothers #21 Ford Fusion will be sporting a new sponsor and new colors this weekend for the Carfax 400 at Michigan International Speedway (MIS) – trading the red Motorcraft for the blue, white and orange colors of Quick Lane Tire & Auto Center. Quick Lane is a nationwide network of facilities that provides auotmotive service while you wait – to learn more, go to www.quicklane.com .

While the Quick Lane logos and paint scheme may be new to the #21 this week, the team hopes the car’s steady performance continues. Coming off strong qualifying efforts in the last four races (Charlotte, June Michigan, Chicago and Indy) and solid finishes at Charlotte and Michigan, the team is planning on a complete weekend – one where attention to detail at the shop and a strong qualifying effort result in a good finish on Sunday.

Both Bill Elliott and the Wood Brothers look forward to racing at MIS – not only becuase it is near the home of the team’s biggest supporters, Ford Motor Company and Motorcraft, but because Elliott and the Wood Brothers have enjoyed much success at the track. The Wood Brothers have competed in each of the 79 NASCAR Cup races held at MIS compiling 11 wins, 26 top fives, 37 top tens and 9 poles. Elliott has had 58 MIS starts accumulating 7 wins, 17 top fives, 29 top ten and 7 poles. During the June race, Elliott and the Wood Brothers qualified 15th and finished 16th.

Be sure to catch all the action this weekend beginning Friday with practice and qualifying followed by a 2nd practice and Happy Hour on Saturday. The Carfax 400 is scheduled to begin on Sunday at 2:00 pm EST with live race coverage beginning at 1:30 pm EST on ESPN.
