Driver Jeff Green knows a few extra breaks here and there would sure come in handy when the NASCAR Nextel Cup series reaches the 1.5-mile Las Vegas Motor Speedway next week. ÃÂÃÂIf thereÃÂÃÂs any place that a little extra luck could make the difference, itÃÂÃÂs Las Vegas,ÃÂÃÂ the Owensboro, Ky., native said. ÃÂÃÂThere couldnÃÂÃÂt be a better place for us to run the Lucky Charms Dodge and weÃÂÃÂre hoping itÃÂÃÂll give us the edge weÃÂÃÂre looking for on the track.ÃÂÃÂ Green will drive the #43 Lucky Charms Dodge throughout the Las Vegas weekend for Petty Enterprises. Lucky Charms is among the popular cereal brands made by the 43 carÃÂÃÂs primary sponsor General Mills. ÃÂÃÂMaybe this will give us a little extra advantage,ÃÂÃÂ he laughed. ÃÂÃÂAll I know is that winning at Las Vegas would, for sure, be ÃÂÃÂmagically delicious.ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ Prominently featuring Lucky the Leprechaun on the hood, sides and rear, the Sam Bass-designed Lucky Charms Dodge has a red background with Lucky Charms rainbow colors as accents. The design also showcases the cerealÃÂÃÂs famed marshmallows and trademark rainbow. ÃÂÃÂHaving some of the Lucky Charms luck rub off on us would be great, and having Lucky the Leprechaun on the car close to St. PatrickÃÂÃÂs Day canÃÂÃÂt hurt either,ÃÂÃÂ Green laughed. ÃÂÃÂThis #43 team has been moving forward this season,ÃÂÃÂ Green said. ÃÂÃÂWeÃÂÃÂve seen some pretty good moments at Daytona and Rockingham, and we think weÃÂÃÂre going to be pretty good at Las Vegas.ÃÂÃÂ(Williams Company PR), see images of the car on my #43 Team Paint Scheme Page or 2004 Cup Paint Scheme page.(2-26-2004)
