This was the last ASA race where the cars ran standard numbers on the
door paint schemes. In 2004 ASA moved the numbers to the rear quarter
panel...an ultimately questionable choice.

2002 ASA Joey Clanton scores his only win of 2003, he made just two
starts while focusing on the Busch series, and it ends up being the last
one of his career.

Kevin Cywinski came into this race with a comfortable 129 points lead as
the battle for the 2003 title came down to just him and Butch Miller.
Cywinski finished ninth, one spot in front of Miller, securing his first
championship since 1997.

34 sponsor - MSM Sports Marketing - Rochester
34 owner - Thurman Thomas

Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas made a brief foray
into stock car racing with driver Tim Russell in this race. Russell's
car was, of course, carrying the same #34 that Thomas did during his
career with the Buffalo Bills. Former teammate and fellow hall of famer
Jim Kelly was a part-owner and occasional sponsor of Frank Cicci's Busch
Series team around this time, coincidentally also rocking the #34 on the
car.

Not sure where Thurman's team went from here, they had DNQ'd at Illiana
a few weeks prior and intended to enter the race at Salem, held before
this Nashville Fairgrounds season finale. The stated goals for the team
were to run run a partial schedule in ASA again in 2004 before going
Busch racing in 2005. Russell did run ASA in 2004, but was listed as an
owner-driver, and additionally he never attempted a Busch race.
