Sponsor package for Bodine drives NASCAR history claim
The piece notes Brett Bodine joining a Winston Cup team with a high profile sponsorship package described by Sports Enterprises. It mentions Reynolds grouping the deal for Bodine and five other teams, Catalyst Communication and F Communications backing a program named C. It references Carolina Motor Speedway at stockingham and actors like Ga Smith of Catalyst. Olsen races in Busch North since 1989, placing second as a rookie in that series. Coate, a second generation racer, won a Busch Grand National race in 1992 at New River Valley Speedway Radford Virginia. The narrative hints the program shifted off the BGN schedule as Michael Frat moved south to follow in a similar race car.
