The #72 team of Kirk Shelmerdine will be sporting a different look this weekend at the NASCAR Nextel All-Star Challenge Open. The car is the same one he ran at Richmond last week, with the black paint scheme. The different look will be decals saying “VOTE FOR KIRK” as an invitation for fans and viewers to vote for Kirk as the one entry other than the Open winner to advance to the Nextel All-Star Challenge [see story and links below to vote]. Shelmerdine said, ÃÂÃÂIt would be a great honor to race with the guys in the Challenge, but I’d have to be voted in to be able to do that, so I’m relying on all my fans to help me. LetÃÂÃÂs go, Underdog fans, VOTE FOR KIRK!” Shelmerdine continues to seek primary sponsorship for the Coca-Cola 600 and beyond. Interested parties may contact Rick Russell at (704) 662-5458.(Racing Underdog)(5-20-2004)
