UPDATE – Thirty-one drivers are entered in the Winston Open — all the regulars as well as Billy Standridge(#47 Fans Can Race), Randy MacDonald(#85) and Lance Hooper(#14 unsponsored?) in a Richard Jackson car.(News & Record Online) – (regulars include #’s 8,9,11,12,13,16,22,23,26,30,31,33,35,41,42,44,46,50,71,75,78,81,90,91,95,96, and 97 plus #92-Elliott Sadler – that’s 28 + the 3). If Jeremy Mayfield doesn’t win the Winston Open, it would mark the first time that a current points leader didn’t make The Winston.(AP)(5-14-98) – No Elliott Sadler or Lance Hooper and I forgot to add the #77 Jasper Ford so that’s 30 drivers.(5-15-98) (05-15-1998)
