NEWS UPDATE ... A report earlier this week that Mark Martin would drive the Number-84 Red Bull Racing Toyota in Sunday's Cup Series season finale at Homestead has now been reversed, with driver Scott Speed's name - not Martin - on the early entry list for the Ford 400. Nascar has fined Gillett Evernham Motorsports crew chief Wally Rogers, who works with driver A.J. Allmendinger in the Nationwide Series, one thousand dollars for suspension irregularities that were discovered on the team's number-9 Dodge during opening-day inspection November 6th at Phoenix. Richard Childress will receive the North Carolina Motorsports Association's Tribute Award at the group's annual banquet in January 2009. The owner of Richard Childress Racing is being recognized for his years of achievement in Nascar competition. He's amassed eleven championships, two Daytona 500 victories with Dale Earnhardt and Kevin Harvick, and eighty-nine Cup Series wins overall. The NCMA represents businesses that support more than twenty-six thousand racing-related jobs in the state of North Carolina. |
