After completing his first full-season in the CTS, David Starr was hoping that his on-track performance would lead to being hired by a top team for the upcoming season. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always work out as planned. At this point, Starr is looking at implementing ‘Plan B. This consists of making several starts in the CTS, BGN, and Winston West, but not a full-season in any of the three series. Plans are for Starr to run six Truck races for Team Texas Racing, up to 10 races in the BGN, and three or four Winston West events. Like last season, Starr is working with a start-up team in the CTS. Though this is their first effort to field a truck, Team Texas Racing has previously prepared cars for Starr in the Winston West Series. The team is owned by Mike Starr and will run a Chevrolet Silverado. NASCAR has not yet assigned the team a number, nor do they have a primary sponsor. Starr also plans to make some Busch Grand National starts for Wayne Day, owner of the #16 Pontiac Grand Prix sponsored by 31W Installations. The team has already tested at Talladega, though Day was not satisfied with the performance. The Goodlettsville, TN., based team will participate in the BGN test session at Daytona and will then try to qualify for the NAPA Auto Parts 300 at Daytona. Though he has not made an official start, the 32-year old driver has Busch experience as a crewmember and test-driver back in 1994 under the guidance of Donnie Allison with the Premier Sports Marketing-Roy Payne Race Team. Finally, Starr will make some limited Winston West Series appearances in the Team Texas Racing Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Though he has run just four Winston West events in his career, Starr has already made an impact by posting one top-5 start, two top-10 starts, and a top-10 finish(David Starr Site)(1-25-2000)
