#91 LJ Racing’s owner, Joe Falk, announced today that he will not extend his four race deal with Winston Cup Driver Steve Grissom. Falk didn’t feel the team had the chemistry needed. The team still has two races left with Textilease as the sponsor and continue to hunt a full time primary sponsor. No replacement named at this time( LJ Racing Press Release ) — I hear Dick Trickle will be driving the car at Darlington — From Victory Lane Online : “…..I withheld making any comments about this on Saturday, but Steve Grissom has been released by Joe Falk’s #91 team. Joe’s brother Freddie was working on his race car Saturday when I called him with the news that the #91 car failed to qualify. Freddie told me right then that there would be another driver in the car by Darlington. Since Falk still has two races left on a 3 race deal with Textilease, they will find another driver for Darlington, which at this point in time appears to be Dick Trickle. I was told that Joe has been considering Trickle for a couple of weeks now, and that among the plus’s is the fact that Trickle is a good Chassis man, and can be quite helpful in getting the car setup.” — Veteran Winston Cup Driver Dick Trickle has been signed to drive Joe Falks #91 Chevrolet Monte Carlo at Darlington. LJ Racings #91 Chevrolet Monte Carlo will sport a new look at Darlington as well. The car will be white and teal to tie in the corporate colors of sponsor TEXTILEASE (LJ Racing Site/PR)
