Interesting: Billy Stavola badly wants young Buckshot Jones to be his driver. Problem is, Jones, who filled in the past two weekends in Stavola’s #8 car, already has a five-race Cup commitment. His dad, Bill Jones, is the owner of the car, and Aqua-Fresh already has been signed as the sponsor. But the elder Jones said yesterday Stavola is open to a creative arrangement — especially because Circuit City is on the fence about its continued association. “Billy wants us to consider letting Buckshot try to do 12 more races, and they’re willing to work out a deal with us to put Aqua-Fresh on the race car if something could be worked out,” Jones said. “We’ve even given some thought to changing the number on the car [from 8 to 00], with them still crewing the car. I told them I’d call them back either Wednesday or Thursday of this week and see if we can work something out that helps both of us.” see more from Skip Wood atTimes-Dispatch.(6-9-98)
