The first ARCA race at Texas Motor Speedway, they would not return for a
second one until 2010!

Mike Ciochetti's last top-5.

Still one of just two ARCA races at Texas to date.

Dicky Williamson's 15th-place was his best in ARCA competition.

Almost makes me wish ARCA would come back to Texas.

Texan racer Billy Meazel makes his ARCA debut. Despite crashing out his
23rd place finish here would be his best in four ARCA appearances. This
was his only start of 1998.

Scenes were filmed during this race and the surrounding weekend for a
special two-part episode of the popular television series "Walker, Texas
Ranger." As part of the filming process full-time Winston West racer
Eric Norris crosses over to make his ARCA debut at the wheel of a yellow
#14 Ford Taurus that would be featured prominently in the episodes.
Norris qualified great but a mechanical problem knocked his #14 Ford out
of the race.

Eric Norris, also an accomplished stuntman who directed a few episode of
"Walker," is the son of "Walker" star Chuck Norris and by running this
race he actually was somewhat doubling for his dad as the title
character. The two-part episode titled "Team Cherokee" aired the
following February and featured "Walker" and his team investigating the
Texas Motor Speedway when the titular Team Cherokee race team, named for
the fact it is run entirely by Cherokee Native Americans, is befallen by
a series of suspicious accidents culminating in a wild rollover crash
that badly injuries its driver at the end of part one. Part two sees the
team drafting in the part-Cherokee Walker to race their stock car as
Texas' top cop is found to have aa previously unmentioned street racing
background. Walker of course wins the race and saves the team.

Billy Meazell took a nasty couple of shots in this race and suffered
some burns as a result. He was driving an old Lumina!

The race's start was delayed when Jeff Finley's car stopped on the track
during the pace laps and would not refire or move due to gear and brake
issues. Eventually Finley did join the race after it started, but
clearly it didn't last very long.
