Double duty for “Chocolate” Myers

Danny “Chocolate” Myers, the long-time gasman for seven-time Winston Cup champion Dale Earnhardt’s Richard Childress Racing team, plans to pull double duty on “Race Day.” His first stop is Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where he’ll fuel one of A.J. Foyt’s three entries in the Indianapolis 500, then he’ll jet to North Carolina to gas Earnhardt’s Goodwrench Service Plus Chevrolet in the Coca-Cola 600 that evening at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Only one other competitor has completed the unique racing daily double. John Andretti, who drives Richard Petty’s STP Pontiac, participated in the driving doubleheader in 1994. Unconfirmed rumors are that Andretti will drive Foyt’s IRL car at Indianapolis, then head for Charlotte to wheel the STP-sponsored Petty Enterprises Pontiac.(iRace), see Chocolates site at: Chocolate Myer’s Official Homepage.(4-25-98)
