Barrett to run Cup:

Stanton Barrett will make a run for Winston Cup Rookie of the Year in 1999 while driving a limited schedule for Petty-Barrett-Huggins(PBH) Motorsports, which plans to run at least 15 of the 34 races in 1999. The team will run Chevy’s and plans to announce its sponsor at the North Carolina Motorsports Expo in Raleigh on Saturday, Jan. 16. Terry Allen will be the crew chief, no idea on car# yet. Barrett also plans to run 3-5 BGN races in 1999 and the team will also attempt to field two trucks in the three NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series road course races — at Heartland Park, Watkins Glen and Sears Point — for Barrett’s father, Stan, and actor Paul Newman. ( NASCAR Online ) Jayski Note: Actually they won’t run Sears Point in the CTS this year, Portland becomes a road course race in 1999.
