Purvis in the #59 at Memphis: ST Motorsports owner Tad Geschickter announced that veteran driver Jeff Purvis is scheduled to drive the #59 Kingsford/Match Light Chevy for SaturdayÃs BGN Series SamÃs Town 250 at Memphis Motorsports Park. Purvis, a native of Clarksville, TN, started the BGN season driving the #18 Pontiac for Joe Gibbs Racing. Following the BGN race at Milwaukee in early July, the organization failed to obtain a primary sponsor for teammate Mike McLaughlin and was forced to release Purvis. At the time of departure from Joe Gibbs Racing, Purvis was seventh in the points standings.(ST Motorsports PR)(10-9-2001)
