Casey Atwood 2002 Race Comments


2-17- Daytona 500-Looks like Casey is in the same mode as last year! Caught up in an accident and finished 35th. I don't really know why, but Casey has been put in the #7 Dodge, and Jeremy Mayfield has taken over the #19. this has to undermine Casey's efforts. Did he keep the same pit crew or does he have to start all over again? They were starting to click at the end of last season.

2-24- Subway 400-Another bad day! 39th place finish. I know you can do better! Just bad luck. looks like Casey has a black cloud hanging over his head! Not to mention that Sophmore Jinx!

3-3- UAW/DaimlerCrysler 400-About normal for Casey! 42nd place finish.

3-10- MBNA America 500-32nd place finish. Best so far this year.

3-17- Carolina Dodge Dealers 400-Getting better! 26th place finish.

3-24- Food City 500-Gets better every week! 18th place finish! It's tough starting over!

4-7- Samsung/Radio Shack 500-Falls back this week. 35th place finish! Casey just can't seem to get it together.

4-14- Virginia 500-Another bad day! 38th!

4-21- Talladega 500-Casey's woes continue! 26th place! I wish that Casey would not have had to start all over with a new team this year. That just sat him back a year! Jeremy Mayfield hasn't really proven himself in the #19 car!

4-28- NAPA 500-Same old! Not getting any better! 28th place finish!
