Talladega Fall 2000. The Fall
race is much busier with both ARCA and Cup series racing. We spent all weekend
shuttling back and forth from the 2 garages. The Midwest Transit team struggled in
first round qualifying, borrowed a motor from Jeff Gordon and were second day fast
qualifier with a 26th starting position. David Keith won a wild ARCA contest backing
up his Daytona ARCA win. Ricky Craven and the 50 team took the car as high as 8th in
the first green flag sequence. Problems with one of the tires on the first pit stop
took us out of the lead draft and ultimately put us a lap down. I spotted for the
team again on the back and again we didn't tear anything up, of course we didn't have the
big one either.

|
We cooked for the 50
car and we always seem to draw a crowd. One of the guys caught Darrell Waltrip on
camera sneaking a few ribs. |

After helping with the 50
Ward Davis went over the wall carrying tires for the 32 Autobell Car Wash car Driven by
Mark Stahl. Thats Andrew McKinney standing next to him. |

|
Steve Davies went to work
running gas for the 32 car. |

|
Brad James learned one of
the perks from working on the crew is, pit lizards naturally start coming your way. |

|
Of course, thats something
Ricky knows all about. |

As a preview to
Talladega Tommy interviewed Tony Stewart for Inside Alabama Racing |
Talladega Spring 2000. The 50 car
had a good run going in Talladega and a long pit stop cost us the lead draft, but not
before Ricky Craven had taken the car from 32nd to 10th. Some of our local guys were
put to work during the weekend, James Twilley helped work tire setup and Ward Davis was
handing tires over the wall during pit stops. I even had a chance to spot for the
team on the back stretch. We didn't tear anything up so I did a good job in my first
try. Of course there weren't any wrecks on the back stretch either. Here are
some of our pictures.

That's Ward Davis off my
crew working in the pits for the 50 car on race day. |

More Ward

Enough of Ward
|

|
Work never stops on the car
until it rolls out to be put in line. |

|
We always seem to draw a
crowd at lunch time. |

|
"I qualified! Where is
everybody!" |

|
"It wasn't me!" |

limited practice after the big rain. |

The car being
worked on after tech showed we had a few problems. I think my sticker got shortened
just a little. |

|
They finally hired
a team member, Mountain, that makes me look small. |

that made the trip, Tom Claxton, Phil Huber & Ward Davis |

WKRG, Mobile, and Michael Waltrip. |

Pit box set up and
ready for action on Sunday. |

|
When cooking at the
track you have to be mobile. The guys had to do some body work so we had to move
from the back of the trailer. The real problem for me, its real tight between those
trailers. |

|
Lined up and ready
to go. |
