UPDATE: With all of its ducks nearly in a row for 1999, Cicci-Welliver Team 34 is looking to the millennium — and a possible entry into NASCAR’s Winston Cup Series. The locally-owned Busch Grand National team just needs to dot the I’s and cross the T’s of a new sponsorship deal for Todd Bodine’s No. 30 Chevrolet. An announcement is scheduled for Wednesday in Charlotte. The new sponsor, which would replace Slim Jim, is already an established name in the Busch Grand National Series. See the rest of the story at With new sponsorship deal in works, Team 34 looks at ’99, beyond.(Star-Gazette(NY) ), the rumor I hear is Phillips 66 as the sponsor. This pretty much kills the #91 LJ Racing and Todd Bodine in 1999 rumor.(9-24-98) — In a press conference Phillips 66 announced that they would be moving their sponsorship support to Team 34 beginning with the 1999 season. The sponsorship effort will land on Todd Bodine’s Busch Series car. The move takes the sponsorship from the #66 Gary Bechtel owned team. See the complete story at GoRacing: Phillips 66 to Team 34, so that means Diamond Ridge Motorsports(#29 and #66) has lost both it’s sponsors in the last two days.(9-30-98)
