Brian Conz was recently informed by NASCAR that due to a rule change they have revoked Conz’s approval to enter and run in the Daytona 500. NASCAR has now told Conz that at this time he is approved to run in Winston Cup at the race tracks that are 2 miles or less in length. NASCAR has told Conz that after he has competed in the first two ARCA events in 2003 at Daytona and Atlanta he will then gain unrestricted approval to run in Winston Cup including the remaining races scheduled at Daytona in July and the April and October races at Talladega. At this time, Conz’s first Winston Cup event will be in Las Vegas. Testing for the #78 will begin tomorrow, Jan 15th with Mike Harmon stepping in for Conz in Daytona. Conz’s shop is located in Mooresville, NC on Performance Dr. And Steve Bird, four time BGN Champ crew chief has signed on as crew chief. NASCAR has assigned #78 as the car number for the 2003 Winston Cup season. Currently the team has five cars completed and several more in various stages of production.( Brian Conz Site )(1-14-2003)
