Despite the lack of any significant backing, the #72 team now sits 29th in car-owner points. “That’s huge for us,” team owner Randy MacDonald said. “That means we are high enough in the points that we’re pretty much guaranteed a starting spot every race, and that’s important when you are trying to sign a sponsor.” And MacDonald is excited that [Kevin] Lepage will drive the #72 this week at Chicago. “I don’t know how many races he’ll do for us. He wants a contract but he knows we can’t give him that. But he wants to race. And we need to run nearer the front. We are in that situation that we need sponsorship money to really run well, but we need to run well to attract a sponsor.” (High Point Enterprise via BGNRacing.com)(7-9-2004)
