Early Look at Possible 1999 Winston Cup Schedule

Chaz Hinkle talked with Benny Parsons today and reports what the 1999 schedule might look like: Once the new track in Kansas City is built, Darlington will give up its spring race date, and that date will go to Kansas City, likely for the 1999 schedule. The reason? NASCAR really wants the Kansas City track to have a date, but they are unwilling to arbitrarily yank a date from a non-NASCAR/France owned track… ergo, Darlington is on the chopping block because of the France owned tracks,
it is the smallest.(9-8-97)
