#42 Robbins was a '71 model , not a '69.
https://goldmine.uncc.edu/index/render/object/pid/motorsports:5511/parentPID/motorsports:5496

#48 Hylton was a '69 Mercury, not a '70 Ford.
https://goldmine.uncc.edu/index/render/object/pid/motorsports:5506/parentPID/motorsports:5496

so #48 sponsor was in fact "Madden Food Systems / Mullins Ford"
