Ricky Craven subbed for Ernie Irvan in the Skittles Pontiac for 13 laps at Daytona and finished eighth, signaling a strong impact for relief drivers. Irvan still wrestled with injuries from the Talladega crash and Craven, previously with Hendrick, split with the team after a strong start. Craven called the comeback a needed boost and pledged a plan for next year. Dover Downs expands seating as capacity rises to 122,000. Car owner Robert Yates and Kenny Irwin seek to defuse tensions on the Texaco Ford team, with Yates defending Irwin's rookie season and urging discipline.
