Lots of Drivers: Although the BGN hasn’t had a full field for all events, it has attracted a slew of drivers. There have been 144 drivers in the series this year, the most since 150 drivers in 1983 and 179 in 1982, the first year of the series. Of the 144 drivers, 44 have made their series debut this season.(Daytona Beach News Journal)(10-5-2001)
