A brief bright spot in a lousy season for Johnny Benson, a 7th place finish. 3.

However, rather than simply reveal it, they ran a white car in this event with "Guess Who?!!" on it and the word "HA" repeated all over the car. The new sponsor was Universal Studios to promote their cartoon charter Woody Woodpecker, the "HA"s being Woody's catchphrase 4. jeff posted: 04.03.2008 - 9:29 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Kenny Wallace was having a great run in the top 10 all day until he glanced off the wall off of turn 2 and got clipped by Jeremy Mayfield, sending him hard into the inside wall. He hit so hard, the toe was knocked out over a foot and the car looked like a modified on its way back to the pits. 5.

Ken Schrader: "I'm afraid so." HAHAHA! I love Kenny! 6.

Did Gordon run out of gas with five to go and have to come to the pits for a splash of gas or something? 8.
