This weekend in Charlotte, NC the MACH 1 team with driver Geoffrey Bodine with sponsorship from Lucas Oil will enter in the NEXTEL All-Star Challenge at Lowe’s Motor Speedway with a brand new Ford, their second in their stable, and a Roush engine under the hood. The Mach 1 team started the year out with one car, and one engine. They have traveled to every race since Las Vegas this year, qualifying for every race except Las Vegas and Talladega where they went home with DNQÃÂÃÂs. The Mach 1 team has qualified on speed for five races started 43rd at Martinsville and was forced to take a provisional at California due to engine problems. Mach 1 will be adding two additional cars within the next month bringing the total cars to four. The next acquisition is expected to be a super speedway car that will be prepared for the July Daytona race. Two new associate sponsors, Winston Tires & www.ExtremeMotorcycles.com have joined the #98 team to compliment the Lucas Oil primary sponsorship. ÃÂÃÂWe are excited to have Geoff[rey] behind the wheel for this event,ÃÂÃÂ stated Chris Edwards, President of MACH 1, ÃÂÃÂWe have been working with GeoffÃÂÃÂs brother Todd and we have experienced some great results, so this time out should not be any different. We are PUMPED!ÃÂÃÂ The team has shown steady improvement in owner points, qualifying position and finishing position since they began the year in Las Vegas this year. Currently they are 43rd in Owner Points. The battle for positions 39th ÃÂÃÂ 43rd is very tight right now with just 61 pts separating the four spots.(PR)(5-20-2004)
