Charlotte was the first race that Wingo and Elliott worked together, but an electrical problem in the opening laps kept them from seeing the full potential of their car. Wingo and Elliott are reunited this week and Elliott is driving the same Ford that rookie Trevor Bayne drove at Texas (finished 17th in his NSCS debut) and was 2nd only to Kasey Kahne, in green flag passes, according to NASCAR’s loop data. Bayne passed 140 cars, with Kasey passing 145.-Wood Brothers Racing
