Mike Bliss Takes Over No. 1 Chevrolet For Phoenix Racing

Phoenix Racing announced the signing of veteran NASCAR driver Mike Bliss to drive the No. 1 Miccosukee Resorts and Gaming Chevrolet.

James Finch has been a car owner in NASCAR for many years with multiple victories and was happy to bring Bliss in to drive. “I believe this is the spark we need to get our program competitive again,” said Finch. “I have asked everybody on the team to step it up, and I’m looking for better results right away.”

Bliss looks forward to the opportunity to challenge for the NASCAR Nationwide Series championship as he sits fifth in driver points with two top 10s in 2008. “I know with Phoenix Racing’s history, Miccosukee’s partnership, and Hendrick engines that we will be a threat to win races, and compete for the 2008 championship,” said Bliss.

The O’Reilly 300 on April 5th will be the first race for Bliss in the Miccosukee Chevrolet.
