Rich Bickle Martinsville II qualifying notes

Rich Bickle on qualifying 18th in the No. 4 KODAK MAX Film Monte Carlo "I am happy to get a solid starting position in the show for Sunday. The car was good. I really thought we had a chance at a top-10 qualifying effort. Unfortunately, we drew an early spot and had to go out second. The track slowed down and became really slick. I will take 18th. "We can run towards the front from the middle of the pack during the race. I am just glad everything worked out for these guys. They are a great bunch of people to work with. "I would like to thank everyone involved that put my name in the hat to get this ride for the Martinsville weekend. We hope to make it a positive weekend for everyone. "We tested at Caraway yesterday. That was the first opportunity I have had to get into the car, other than being fitted in the seat at the shop earlier this week. Scott Eggleston, the crew chief, is really easy to communicate with."
