RodneyRodriguez Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 found this on jayski, check out the list: Cale added to Bristols Saturday Night Special race; DW withdraws: Cale Yarborough, one of the most successful drivers in the history of Bristol Motor Speedway, has been added to the lineup of stars for the Scotts “Saturday Night Special” at Bristol Motor Speedway, March 21. Darrell Waltrip, Bristol’s all-time winner with 12, has had to pull out of the race because of a scheduling issue that has arisen. “It seems crazy, but I am busier now than I was when I was a driver,” Waltrip said. “I have some commitments to Fox Sports that have come up since we began talking with the folks at Bristol about this race. I was looking forward to getting out there with some of those guys again; and some of them for the first time. After years with Junior Johnson as my boss, I was excited about rubbing fenders with him. But, sometimes things are unavoidable.” A $100,000 purse to be paid to the charity of choice by each driver will be up for grabs. Competing in late model stock cars, $25,000 will be donated to the charity of choice of the winning team as well as taking home that big Bristol trophy. The second-place team will have $10,000 given to the charity of its choice and $5,000 will go to the designated charity of the other entrants. Other drivers expected to compete are Harry Gant, David Green, Jack Ingram, Junior Johnson, Terry Labonte, Sterling Marlin, L.D. Ottinger, Phil Parsons, David Pearson, Jimmy Spencer and Rusty Wallace. The Saturday Night Special will take place after the completion of the Scotts Turf Builder 300 Nationwide Series race and will be followed by a 100-lap UARA late model event. Tickets, which include all three races, start at $45 and are available by calling the BMS ticket office at 423-989-6900 or by visiting bristoltix.com.(BMS PR)( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 If I remember right, the last time Jimmy Spencer borrowed a car at San Antonio Speedway.... He won the race but it sure wasn't pretty! LOL I think he tried to knock the wall down a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I think he tried to knock the wall down a few times. Was that when he drove Pat Lane's car? Terry Labonte had practiced it, then chose to drive a different car. Spencer got into Lane's car and won the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacecar Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 When SAS had the Cup guys put on a "show" using the SAS NASCAR Late Model Stock cars..... well, it was a great show and had the crowd on their feet. Lots of side-by-side racing, even 3-wide, some cars falling back to rear, some going to the front. Almost every one of them led the race at one point or another. But the stopwatch told the story. They were racing at least a half-second slower than the normal SAS Late Model drivers. But the crowd couldn't tell that the lap times were slow. Dale Jarrett was driving Joe Aramendia's car, but didn't win. When Dale drove to the pit stall after the race, Joe asked Dale what was wrong with the car.... why didn't he win it? Dale smiled at Joe, said that the race car was fine, and that he wasn't supposed to win that night! So some of you may be right.... that Nascar races are scripted! At least that one. I wonder what the script will be at Bristol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the script will be at Bristol I've wondered about that many times but hated to admit it. How many times has Jimmy Johnson won at Lowes Motor Speedway? The things that make you go "hmmm." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
