During the race, TNN broadcasters Mike Joy and Dick Berggren were discussing the #90 and Big Daddys’ mess and mentioned the sponsors on the car today, Accu-turn and Pep Boys and Berggren said Pep Boys was looking hard at sponsoring the team for the full season. Feel free to go to the Pep Boys site and show your support: Customer Relations: Comment Form or send email to: [email protected] . Car owner Junie Donlavey, who had Morgan Shepherd in his #90 Ford at Rockingham says his team can continue without a primary sponsor through Atlanta. He had Morgan Shepherd in the car at the Rock and Stanton Barrett is supposed to be in the car at Las Vegas. Mike Harmon, who came along with the ill-fated Big Daddy’s BBQ sponsorship, has been released and will not drive for the team, Donlavey felt Harmon would not work out for the team and “felt it was better to settle it now.” Donlavey says Harmon might try to drive the #81 Ford of owner Filbert Martocci, who had Shepherd behind the wheel in Daytona 500 qualifying(In part from IcFlordia) — At this point, Donlavey is uncertain who will be his driver for the Vegas race. Donlavey is talking to Morgan Shepherd and Stanton Barrett, who could become the second rookie to drive for Donlavey this season, the other was of course Mike Harmon. Rumors ran rampant after he put Pep Boys on the quarterpanel at Rockingham last weekend. Reports that the company is making a deal for a full season are greatly exaggerated — Donlavey didn’t even charge Pep Boys for the quarterpanel logo Sunday. ( Times-Dispatch )
