Did he come back for one race or did Bruce just drive a #6 for the owner points? 6.

Does anybody know why this race was 196 laps and not 200? 7. Anonymous posted: 06.23.2009 - 5:33 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) rain 8.

Boris Said had to levy his Federated Auto Parts money to get in using Phil Bonifields Red Line Oil entry. While it says Red Line Oil as the sponsor, it was fully decorated in what the 44 usually looks like with red numbered 23 on it. Bobby Hamilton was looking like he was going to get a win but his engine failed while leading. He had previously had a great battle for the lead against Randy Renfrow that ended up causing him to spin out. He was able to battle all the way back to the lead only to have the mechanical failure. This handed the lead to Dennis Setzer who could not hold off Greg Biffle for the lead. Biffle looked to be cruising to a title broadening his lead to 125 points after the race. Rich Bickle drove his own truck to the top 10 after departing the truck series for Cup in the 1998-99 offseason. The race ended under rain but is not listed as a caution as the rain came while they were cleaning up from Tim Steele's spin. Much of the race was under the threat of rain but it never fully downpoured until the very closing laps. 16.

The team won 3 races in its 5 years of competition, all with Rick Carelli behind the wheel. In fact, Carelli started 9 Cup races for the organization from 1992-1994 (before going full-time Truck racing in 1995.) 19.
