Rick Benjamin: “Chocolate and I had speculated a little – and you were one of the guys I had in mind – you might see some ARCA teams, some truck teams, some Nationwide teams go out – and we know there are ways you can acquire a Cup car. You can lease one, borrow one, buy one, whatever is takes and go put a car on the grid there. You do that with Randy Humphrey in the Nationwide Series. You had two cars last year. Are you thinking about doing that in the Cup Series in ’09?”
Phil Parsons: “We are. We are strongly considering that. We’re going to kind of let the chips fall where they may and see how many cars are going to be there but our intention is, right now, is to race the Daytona 500. Not park and start in park but race the Daytona 500.”(Sirius PR)
