Derrike Cope was the answer last nite....unfortunately the question was deleted....but that happens. So my question is....do you know who this driver is?

He started his career in 1989 driving a bucket of lard for Baker
The next year he tried to "catch up" to the rest of the field
He thought he had found a bountiful banquet but the team
shut down
But then a legend came him some "breaks" but when a bigger
legendary owner called....he was eating "GOLD" for awhile
But again he switched rides because the previous wasn't
"smokin'" enough....5 years later he was given the "blue light"
for another sponsor but that one wasn't quite on target.
So he wanted something more serious......and wound up
achieving alot of speed.
Do you know who he is? (Pretty easy tonight huh?)

Another great question. I won Money on a Jimmy Spencer race once. He was in the Modified tour at Thompson CT and wrecked.I was the only one our gang to watch the consi. When we all put in our money I chose last knowing he won the consi. Boy were all the guys mad. I have been a fan ever since.

Tony Stewart??

Oops guess I was wrong LoL! =)
I was just guessing!

**edit: Jeff can you email me the answers from the one about Days of Thunder from last night you said I had all the drivers but I was kind of wondering if I had the cars right and who went in what car # for the ones I only had their names. I would appreciate it (I looked forever and all I could come up with was the names for those 3) Thanks (if you don't care to do that)** I was gonna email you but I can't!


***THANK YOU!!***
