Reading Ron Hornaday Jr's wiki foray into busch series in 1999..
In 1999, he won the 100th race ran in NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series history at the Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington. He was one of four drivers entered in the race that competed in every truck race since its inception at the time for an extra $100,000 if he won, which he did. However, he was unable to capitalize on it and win the championship, finishing seventh in the final standings after an up and down year. Fortunately, he was given an opportunity late in the year to replace Dale Earnhardt Jr. in driving the No. 3 NAPA-sponsored Chevy for DEI's Busch program with Earnhardt moving up to the cup series, and he announced that he would do so the following year
When did Little E drive a Napa car? Thought he drove AC Delco in 1999?. |

I did some research on Racing Reference and AC Delco jumped ship in 2000 from DEI to the Childress #2 and Harvick so it appears that NAPA moved up from the #16 DEI truck to the #3 BGN car. Junior drove with Delco sponsorship the 2 years that he won the BGN titles. _________________ ON DECK/IN THE WORKS: too many started to list...
