Although the BGN has five races left in the 1999 season, Wayne Grubb is already looking ahead to the year 2000. The #83 Grubb Motorsports team has not had the ideal season, and certainly not the year they had been hoping for. Despite the slow start to the 1999 season, Grubb Motorsports has steadily improved since the spring. Grubb says that Grubb Motorsports has developed a great game plan for the off season. Grubb has no immediate plans to leave Grubb Motorsports. For now, the 23-year-old is content to stay with the family team and to concentrate on improving their efforts. As the 2000 season approaches, Grubb remains determined to take one weekend at a time.

Right now, this is the best way to do that.????(Grubb Motorsports PR)(10-14-1999)
