After a good day on Thursday at the Nashville Superspeedway, with the
inspection procedure going well Todd Bowsher driver of the Gordon Food
Service, GFS Marketplace #21 was feeling pretty confident heading into
Friday when all of the on-track events would happen, practice, qualifying
and the race.

The team made all of the necessary tweaks and tunes for the first practice
session on Friday morning at 9:30am,  they discovered a problem with the
engine on their Ford Taurus, while warming it up for the first practice, 
after a brief meeting between the driver Todd Bowsher, owner Jack Bowsher
and the team they made the decision to pull out the back-up car and prepare
it for practice due to time restraints.  Todd said of the set back,
"This isn't what we expected coming into the Nashville race, we were
all looking forward to a good strong run with our primary car, carrying the
momentum of the good finish we had at Daytona, this is disappointing to all
of us, but we'll take the back-up car out , which is not even comparable to
the other cars in our stable when it comes to performance,  but we'll get
the best finish we can out of it and go on to Salem in a couple of weeks
and we'll get em there." Todd also added," The entire Jack
Bowsher & Associates Team isn't going to get accustomed to 17th place
finishes, we, the entire team are vowing to run on the lead lap in the top
10 at every race from here on out." Owner Jack Bowsher stated,
"This isn't the way we wanted to represent our sponsors GFS
Marketplace, United Trailers and all of our associates here at Nashville,
but sometimes that's the way racing is, we'll make improvements and go on
to Salem."
