“All but the last tiny details have been worked out concerning Heilig-Meyers’ continued sponsorship of the Winston Cup car owned by Richmond’s Junie Donlavey. It will be a three-year deal, with the last year option-designated, that would carry the association into the year 2000. The rapidly expanding Richmond-based furniture company also is expected to increase its financial backing, which, at $5 million-plus, already is among the top 15 Â if not top 10 Â sponsor packages on the circuit. Dick Trickle is expected to climb behind the No. 90 car’s wheel for at least one more year, after which his status will be determined on a yearly option basis.”(GVA)(9-30-97)
