TV talk and game show host Regis Philbin brought his “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire” knockoff to downtown Charlotte’s Speed Street festival as host of the Food Lion Racefan Challenge. The promotion put 10 contest winners on the stage with a chance to play a modified version of “Millionaire.” But instead of using “lifelines” each player had one chance to tap the cumulative knowledge of Winston Cup drivers Bobby Labonte, Dale Earnhardt Jr., John Andretti, Johnny Benson, Scott Pruett and Ken Schrader. To win a million bucks, a contestant had to correctly answer 10 straight trivia questions, most – but not all – of which were about racing. The six drivers could be called upon for assistance once by each player. See full story at That’s Racin’. No idea if this will be televised(5-26-2000)
