Two years ago, David Gilliland turned his one and only victory in what is now known as NASCARs Nationwide Series at Kentucky Speedway into a full-time ride with a Cup team. Last year, Stephen Leicht turned his one and only victory in NASCARs No. 2 series at Kentucky Speedway into well, nothing. Leicht returns to Kentucky this weekend without a full-time ride in any series and with barely a ride at all. By the time December rolled around, Leicht was still without a job for 2008. Finally, he hooked up with Richard Childress Racing to share the teams ultra-successful #21 Chevy with Cup veteran Bobby Labonte. The problem was, the #21 didnt have a sponsor. And it still doesnt. Leicht will drive in Kentucky, but only as a fill-in for Clint Bowyer in RCRs #2 entry in practice. Leicht said he and Childress have been talking to other Chevy teams about getting Leicht in a car, but so far there have been no takers. Meanwhile, hell try to help Bowyer and the #2 win this weekend.(SceneDaily.com)(6-12-2008)
