Elliott Sadler will have one of Doug Yates’ new Ford D-3 engines this weekend, which should make him one of the favorites Sunday, particularly as strong as he ran at Charlotte two weeks ago. “Doug has taken a lot of pride, and all the guys, in that motor, and I think everybody will be pleased,” Sadler said. “For the guys that have never had Yates horsepower at Pocono, I think they’re going to be very happy.” Sadler said that it has not yet been decided which of the other seven Jack Roush and Robert Yates teams will run the new D-3 and which will stay with the established C-model engine. The D-3, Robert Yates says, should be well suited to Pocono because it likes a low gear. Yates said, if he couldn’t run one of the new engines at Pocono he might just go fishing this weekend.(Winston Salem Journal) AND during an interview on Speed Channel’s Cup qualifying, Dale Jarrett said he would have the new Ford engine package this weekend at Pocono. AND II heard on MRN radio’s qualifying coverage, also running the new Ford engine package are #17-Kenseth and #99-Burton, both had transmission problems in qualifying. And #16-Greg Biffle also has the new package.(6-11-2004)
