Gaughan to relieve Bliss at Pocono: Truck Series driver Brendan Gaughan will share driving duties in the #0 NetZero Best Buy Racing Chevrolet with Mike Bliss, who underwent successful hernia surgery Monday morning, for this weekend’s event at Pocono Raceway. “When it became obvious to us that Mike would need some help this weekend our thoughts immediately went to Brendan,” said Joe Custer, General Manager of Haas CNC Racing. “Brendan, along with Orleans Racing and its sponsor Jasper Engines and Transmissions, have been gracious enough to agree to let us borrow him for the weekend even though he is competing for his fifth win at Texas Motor Speedway Friday night. A big part of what is great about this sport is the willingness of the competitors to jump right in and help each other out in situations like this. Our main focus is to make sure that Mike is healthy for the remainder of the season and whatever we need to do this weekend to make sure that happens is what we will do.” Gaughan will take part in the scheduled practice and qualifying sessions at Texas Motor Speedway before heading to Pocono Raceway Friday. Bliss plans to make several laps during practice for the Pocono 500 Friday afternoon before Gaughan takes over. Bliss is scheduled to qualify the car Saturday and start the race before giving up his seat in the NetZero Best Buy Chevy during the first possible opportunity.(NetZero Best Buy Racing)(6-8-2005) |

Orleans already agreed to it. Besides, Dodge knows how happy Brendan is to be driving Dodge. I don't see it being a big deal. |

:yeah: I liked the 0 team since Sprague drove the car, then when they hired Bliss I started to dislike it. Now, I get to root for the #0 again, assuming Bliss doesn't drive. |

Sprague, Andretti, and Burton all kick ass. Bliss sucks. Gaughan would be a big step up. |

Or that either way, the car would be slow and then wreck. |

Gaughan was never really slow. *points to Bristol (Spring) and Talladega (Fall)* Front runner.

He got to the front at Talladega because him and Terry Labonte didn't stop. There, and everywhere else except Bristol in March, he was a backmarker. |

He coulda won Bristol. Fuckin' 8 car. Gaughan shoulda stayed in the 62 truck, though. Ever since he left, the whole organization's gone downhill. |

I think Bristol was a fluke too because he normally can't run on anything smaller then a mile and a half. |

Well, Brendan had 3 other top 10's besides Talladega. It was enough to beat Brian, by a point. Only difference is though, 3 or 4 times Brian was running really well, he got taken out (Daytona, Dover, and Infineon in particular). Brendan never really had bad luck when running well, other than Bristol. |
