NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series rookie Willy Ribbs will test at Martinsville on Monday, Mar 26th, but he ll be in a Busch car. There is no testing in the Craftsman Truck Series (I didn’t know that, I guess unless NASCAR Mandated), and the only way he could get seat time there was in a BGN car(which do not run at Martinsville). The Busch car is owned by Ribbs truck owner Bobby Hamilton(Martinsville Speedway PR)(3-24-2001) UPDATE: Ribbs showed up Monday morning at Martinsville Speedway with Bobby Hamilton, who owns the Dodge Ribbs drives on the CTS. Ribbs was in town to pick up a few points on the fine art of short-tracking. The CTS next stop is the Advance Auto Parts 250 at Martinsville Speedway, another short track famous for its action. Of course things were a little different for Ribbs on Monday. The CTS doesnt allow testing in trucks at tracks the series visits, so Hamilton brought a BGN car for Ribbs to pilot. Ribbs drives a Dodge on the truck circuit, but the Busch car was a Chevrolet, outfitted with a Dodge power plant.(Martinsville Speedway PR)(3-26-2001)
