April 27 – Today in Jayski’s NASCAR history

April 27, 1997

  • Willy T Ribbs says he is ready to try Winston Cup again, but has nothing going with the Dr. J news(4-27-97)
  • Per the Richmond Times-Dispatch NASCAR took a close look at a few little things yesterday. It seized and X-rayed the intake manifold and cylinder heads off the pole-winning car of John Andretti, and it examined suspension parts on Ken Schrader’s car. Nothing was wrong with the #98 parts, the #33 parts were damaged by something Schrader hit on the track during qualifying(4-27-97)
  • I hear Penske South will make a decision on the second team within the next week or so. Kenny Irwin remains the rumor if the second team is started but Rumors of a second team may flicker out. A team representative said that, based on gut feeling, the companion team was less than likely. The ingredients needed are not available, he said.(4-27-97)
  • Rumors have it that Tony Stewart has signed on to be in the second Joe Gibbs Pontiac with Shell as a sponsor. The official announcement concerning the second team will be made Tuesday, April 29th(4-27-97)
