Answer to the question about three digit car #'s.
Why does NASCAR (or NASCAR.com) use three digit numbers for some cars?
Sometimes different cars (Owners) have to share the same last two digits of a number. For instance, at the end of 2002, Rick Goodwin [Team Bristol] indicated that he would be renewing his Winston Cup #54 because at the time, he had a full sponsorship from Toys "R" Us [which has since gone away]. After the renewal of his license this year, Travis Carter and his sponsorship [National Guard] wanted to use the Winston Cup #54 as well. Since no two owners can occupy the same number, NASCAR licensed the #154 to Travis Carter with the caveat that should Rick Goodwin enter an event, they would have to find another number for Carter's car to use at that same event.
In an effort for membership and points to correctly assign championship car owner points, NASCAR has to distinguish between Rick Goodwin (#54) and Travis Carter (#154). Therefore, each owner continues to maintain throughout the season the car number they were originally licensed with. The Same goes for Marcis #71 and Lepage #171, if they enter the same race and both make it, Lepage needs to find a different number.(5-26-2003)
Busch race qualifying now on Speed.........Baby Busch is on the pole so far. He spun big time after his lap, hung on without hitting the fence but flat spotted the tars!! Bass Pro Shops #8 is starting in top 5 so far.
I don't see the Aaron's Dream Machine at all even Mikeyless.....did they just not enter this race?
Happy Hour is on at 4:30, all California time :-)
Busch race at 5:30
So I was partly correct.
(it's still all nextsmells fault)
Bingo. Mikey wasn't in Milwaukee last year either, even though the Winston Cup boys were off that weekend.
I know; I should be at the track, but I simply can't stay awake until midnight (about the time I would be back from the track).
