HOWEVER: Bill Elliott’s debut as an ARCA Re/Max car owner got off to a rough start Friday when his driver, Ray Cook, became the first to test the new SAFER walls at Michigan International Speedway. Cook lost control of his Dodge late in practice and backed the car hard into the wall in Turn 2. Cook wasn’t hurt, but the car’s rear end was caved in to the back window, and Cook was not able to qualify it for today’s Flagstar 200, scheduled for 1:00pm/et.(Detroit Free Press)(6-19-2004)
