Stacy Compton, running the full BGN season in the #59 Kingsford BGN car, is on the outside trying to get back in. “We have two scenarios for Daytona: Mark Melling and I are talking about putting something together, for about 10 races. And our Busch owner has been talking with Mark about putting together five races,” he said. “So, best case scenario, we’re looking at 15 races. Worst case scenario, we’re not sure yet. “Mark is from Michigan, so I’m sure he’d like to go there. And Talladega has always been pretty good to us. Martinsville, Richmond, we’ve got some tracks in mind. And a little of it will be determined by what sponsors we have. If that comes through, hopefully we’ll know something pretty soon.” Compton missed Daytona testing and said he won’t be in the 500. “There’s no way at this point,” Compton said. “Mark had looked at trying to get a car ready, and up till two weeks ago it was still a go. But we just didn’t get everything put in place like we needed to.”(in part from the Winston Salem Journal )(1-19-2003)
