It grew into it’s own story, it all started innocently enough – Pop Secret will not be back on the #26 Cheerios Ford in 1999 and will have Hardee’s as an associate as all the Roush cars will, the #16 Primestar Ford of Kevin Lepage will have a different look to make it more identifiable to Lepage(no idea what) UPDATE 1: CORRECTION I now hear Pop Secret WILL return to the #26 Ford (the General Mills products have been rotated, Hamburger Helper is on the trunk, Betty Crocker spoon is on the side, and Pop Secret is lower on the rear fender) and Hardee’s will not come aboard as an associate sponsor on the Roush cars. — and now I hear Johnny Benson filming a TV commercial for Hardees yesterday in Charlotte’s Freedom Park and that Hardees is shooting a commercial using all Roush cars at Concord Motorsport Park, Jan 6 thru Jan 10, the shoot is being done by Dektor Films out of Hollywood more to come?…..Have got many reports that readers have seen the Roush drivers in Hardee’s commercial’s, so this leads me to believe me the Hardee’s rumor of them not coming aboard as an assoc sponsor is not true, so we can put this rumor to rest — Closing the book on this rumor – many reader have seen commercials featuring the Roush driver, so it looks like Hardee’s will be an associate sponsor on the Roush cars, no need to email anymore info on this
