As announced on NASCAR Online 6-12 but further explained in detail by a reader: The #46 First Union Chevrolet will be sporting a new paint job when it comes to Daytona on the July 4th weekend. Major League Baseball’s new expansion team, the Tampa Bay Devilrays will be the major, one-time sponsor, for the car at the first ever night time running of the PEPSI 400 in Daytona. I attended the DevilRays -vs- Marlins game on Monday June 22nd and the car is on display at the entrance to the field. The car has an all-black base color to it, with the DevilRays logo on the hood and roof. The team colors are carried all over the car in “wavy stripes” along the sides and rear.And check this out: The Tampa Bay Devilrays will have “NASCAR night” at Tropicana Field, in St. Pete, Florida on June 23as they play the Florida Marlins at 7:05pm/et. All fans attending the game will receive a 1:64 diecast of the #46 with the special paint job. Mike expects to have images of the car up after the game.(DaytonaMikes NASCAR Center)(6-23-98) (06-23-1998)
