Carolina Panthers(NFL) punter Ken Walter will have a new job during tonight’s race. He will be catching tires rolled to the pit wall during pit stops for the Jasper Motorsports Ford driven by Robert Pressley. Team owner Doug Bawel came up with the idea after the team put a special teal-and-black paint job on Pressley’s car. Prominently displayed is a black panther, which is also both teams’ mascot(The State)(5-28-2000)
