A couple of readers had this correct: Benny Parson’s explained the reason for that Ruttman/Biffle 50/80 number swap. Roush expects veteran Ruttman to qualify easily for every race. Biffle might have some problems making the show as a rookie to the series, so he will have the now #50 team’s points provisionals from last year(when the team was #80) to fall back on to make the races(thanks Matt)(1-18-98)
