Earles, active in the track until the end, died Nov. 16, 1999. "My grandfather would have especially appreciated being voted into the NMPA Hall lamkin of Fame," Campbell said. "He loved the media and knew how important they are to the success of the sport." Scott, who golf died in 1990, began racing at the Danville Fairgrounds Speedway winning 128 races in many divisions and in 1959 won the Virginia State Sportsman Championship. In 1961, he fielded a car in the NASCAR Grand National circuit, later renamed the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. On Dec. 1, 1963 he won lamkin his only Grand National race, a 100-mile golf event on a half-mile track in Jacksonville, Fla. He is the only African-American driver to ever win a NASCAR Winston Cup Series race. Much of NASCAR stock car racing''s current popularity can be traced to Robertson. Robertson moved up the ranks to become President of Sports Marketing Enterprises. Many of racing''s unique programs, such as the Winston Million and the No Bull Five were Robertson''s innovations. After his death in a boating accident in 1998, the Winston Cup Preview, which lamkin he created, was quite appropriately re-named the T. Wayne Robertson Winston Cup Preview in his honor.

whose four-year run of superiority in the Southern 500 ended in 1999 -- and Jeff Burton, who won both rain-shortened events golf last season on the Track "Too Tough To Tame." Victory has taught them much about Darlington, but Wallace figures defeat also can be a valuable tutor. He finished 16th in Darlington in March. "We''ve been on the money almost everywhere we''ve been this year with the chassis, but if there''s an exception to that, it has to be the first Darlington race," he said. "We missed it with lamkin our shock package, really missed it big time on the right rear. "We''ll get it all nailed down this time around, though."

The addition of crew chief Danny Gill golf has been a major boost for Morgan-McClure. Since his arrival six weeks ago, the team has been a top-15 car each week, only to see a late-race failure eliminate them from contention. "No doubt that Danny Gill has made a difference," Hamilton said. "If it had lamkin laid right at Pocono, we would have had a top-10 golf finish. Michigan, we had broken a shock and finished 14th. lamkin We had run in the top-10 all day. "At Bristol, I was trying to get a lap back and ran over Jeremy (Mayfield). golf We had a flat and hit something on the racetrack and were running sixth at that lamkin time. It''s not hard to swallow now because we know we''re competitive. We''re unloading pretty good. "We''re getting our race setups almost perfect now and the motor golf and lamkin program has really come along. I think when all the ingredients finally meet in the middle, it''ll mold into one and we''ll be there. You''ve just got to be patient with it. It took us a long time to get in this shape, and in this sport, as competitive as it is, you don''t overcome it overnight." Midway through the 1999 campaign, rumors began to swirl golf that Morgan-McClure was planning to add a second team to their one-car stable.
