FIELDS SET FOR IROC, GOODY'S 300 AND FLORIDA 200
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Full starting fields were established
in qualifying Wednesday at Daytona International Speedway for
Saturday's Goody's 300 NASCAR Busch Series race for the Grand
National Divisions and for Friday's Florida 200 for the NASCAR
Goody's Dash Series; and the starting lineup for Friday's Round One
of True Value Hardware Stores presents the Dodge International Race
of Champions XIX was set in a special drawing.
Ricky Rudd will start from the pole in the 40-lap, 100-mile
sprint for the True Value Dodge IROC Dodge Avengers. Rudd, the 1992
IROC champion, will lead the all star field of 12 competitors to
the line in an Orange car, starting alongside defending Daytona
IROC winner Dale Earnhardt.
In qualifying action Wednesday, snowmobile racer Tim Bender of
Colden, N.Y., posted the fastest second-round qualifying speed for
the Busch Series cars, as a 45-car starting field was set. Bender
ran 184.949 mph in the Ford that is partly owned by Winston Cup
driver Derrike Cope.
Among the drivers who did not qualify for the event were David
Bonnett, son of the late Neil Bonnett; Shawna Robinson, who will
try to qualify for her first NASCAR Winston Cup Series race in
Thursday's Gatorade Twin 125-Mile Qualifying Races; Dale Fischlein,
crew chief for Winston Cup driver Dave Marcis; former Winston Cup
drivers Hut Stricklin, Jimmy Hensley and Darryl Sage; and defending
Florida 200 winner Mike Swaim.
On Thursday, the first Gatorade Twin will go to the line at
12:30 p.m., immediately followed by the second race. A total of 63
cars are scheduled to start the two races. Steve Seligman of Lake
Forest, Ill., apparently withdrew his Mariani Leasing Ford from the
second Twin after an accident in practice Tuesday caused extensive
damage to the car. Steve Kinser will start the second Twin in his
backup car after a single-car accident in practice Wednesday
afternoon. Kinser lost control in Turn Two and hit the outside
wall. He was uninjured in the accident.
Plenty of Reserved Seat Tickets are available for the Gatorade
Twins. The entire frontstretch grandstand will be sold as reserved
seats. The only unreserved seats for the Twins are in the Tiny Lund
Grandstand located outside Turn Two on the backstretch. For
information, call the Daytona Ticket Office at 904-253-7223.
