Greg Sacks News: Greg Sacks has been unable to set a lasting hook in the upper levels of NASCAR and he says he has got to race. So the former dominant driver in NASCAR Modifieds has made a deal to return to his roots in the Featherlite Modified Series race that will run in conjunction with the Winston Cup and Craftsman Truck Series races July 20 at New Hampshire. Sacks, whose last race was the fall 1999 BGN race at Lowes Motor Speedway, will drive the Modified driven to victory in the season-opening race at South Boston (Va.) Speedway by defending FMS champion Jerry Marquis. Long Island trucking company owner Ed Partridge, who has competed with little success on the FMS this season, bought the car and an engine for Sacks, who plans to piece together a crew from his old Island cohorts. Sacks, who won the 1985 Pepsi 400 and also scored a BGN win at Talladega, won 28 of 38 NASCAR Modified starts in 1982, which earned him the title Superman. He has been a valued test pilot of late, including a stint for Ward Burton in January at Daytona, but has been out of Winston Cup racing since he crashed at Texas in its 1997 inaugural race(NASCAR.com’s Buzz)(7-6-2001)
