“I am very honored about having another shot to race in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series, especially with SCORE Motorsports,” he said. “I am very confident that I will be able to give 150% behind the wheel for the team, and I feel there should be no reason why a top-20 finish should be out of the question. This opportunity with Hermie Sadler and SCORE Motorsports came before our accident on Sunday,” Long said emphatically. “I’ve been friends with Hermie for many years, and this was a deal that was beneficial to both of us. I’m hoping that out all the details can be worked out with Spears Motorsports, which will allow me to compete in the 500-mile event in Atlanta,” Long continued. He is a member of the Spears Motorsports team that David Starr drives for in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. “My duties for Spears Motorsports are my main concern, so we’ll have to play it by ear.” One obstacle the Virginia-based operation faces is finding the backing for two of the most exciting NNCS races of the season. “At this point we do not have a primary sponsor, but we are looking and asking any interested parties to please contact us,” Sadler mentioned.
