Some good notes by David Poole of That’s Racin’ including a note about Jerry Nadeau’s time in Dawsonville, GA, The Ford Taurus a year later, Jeff Green and the Money Store, Testing at Atlanta, Jeff Gordon, Jeff Purvis and this story: Sauce isn’t the only thing that’s hot around Tabasco’s racing program this week. Company officials canceled plans to come to Indianapolis
because they don’t like the way the deal came down that put their sponsorship on Darrell Waltrip’s car. Tabasco officials feel Bob Hancher, owner of ISM Racing, and Tim Beverley, owner of Tyler Jet Motorsports, didn’t keep them informed about the deal that moved the 35 car number and the Tabasco sponsorship from ISM’s Pontiacs to Beverley’s Chevrolets. Tabasco is reportedly so angry it might end its NASCAR involvement. One year ago at Indianapolis, Tabasco announced the program that went full time with Todd Bodine as its driver at the start of the 1998 season. See the notes at Dawsonville not so awesome for Nadeau . (08-01-1998)
