  • Sad News: John Nemechek who was critically hurt in 3-16-97’s NASCAR Truck race, passed away today in Miami, FL. His brother, Winston Cup regular, Joe left Darlington and did not race there and Phil Parsons subbed for him in the #42 SABCO Chevy, my condolences and sympathies go out to his family(3-21-97)
  • Per Winston Cup Scene: Bruton Smith says he will not consider running a special non-points event in 1997. He still hopes to get a second points paying event either this year or next. As for Bristol, the dome is still under consideration and being studied(3-21-97)
  • The rumors that either Jeff Purvis or Larry Pearson would drive the #15 Bud Moore Ford at Darlington have been proven false as the #15 was not at qualifying(3-21-97)
