TALLADEGA, Ala. - Team Red Bull will make its racing debut next weekend with Bill Elliott at the wheel and its research and development manager Randy Cox serving as crew chief at Lowe's Motor Speedway.
Cox, who most recently was a crew chief at ppc Racing and has previously worked with Chip Ganassi Racing, will serve as crew chief for the three races that Elliott will drive this year, said TRB General Manager Marty Gaunt while at Talladega Superspeedway.
"It will be a big check for us to see where we're at," Gaunt said. "It will make sure our systems are all up and running."
The car will be a Dodge as the team begins a three-race schedule to get ready for its Toyota debut in 2007. Brian Vickers will drive the No. 83 car next year with his teammate still to be announced.
Gaunt said he hopes to have the second driver named within 30 days.
"Everybody right now is in the candidate pool," Gaunt said. "We haven't found a second driver. We are still looking at everybody who is available out there who we can put in it. We haven't ruled anybody out as of yet."
Mike Skinner will drive the team's "car of tomorrow" during the Talladega test Monday and at Homestead in a couple of weeks.
Mentioned Drivers: Bill Elliott
