Team SABCO will return to a two-car NASCAR Winston Cup operation in 1999 after fielding a third entry for the past several seasons. The #46 Chevrolet had been sponsored by First Union and The Money Store, however, the financial institution opted to refocus their involvement in the Winston Cup series. “If in the next few weeks a sponsor shows interest in SABCO, we’ll investigate further into the possibility of bringing the 46 team back,” said Team SABCO owner Felix Sabates. “At this time, we’ve chosen to concentrate our efforts on a two-car operation and focus on returning to a top-notch Winston Cup organization.” Sabates’ two other teams will remain intact. Joe Nemechek extended his contract to drive the #42 BellSouth Chevrolet through 2001, while two-time Daytona 500 winner Sterling Marlin returns to the No. 40 Coors Light Chevrolet for the next two years.(SABCO PR via Stock Car Racing Mag )(11-30-98) (11-30-1998)
