assistant: I would guess that Dennis is confusing Skinner with Dave Marcis...who
   was running the Childress "development" car with Skinner's Realtree
   colors from last year.  Having the Ford contingent virtually wiped
   out by Earnhardt's mishap must have his shorts in quite a wad :)
   At least Rusty was gone early...one less tear-filled whine to
   Gary Nelson about those damn Monte Carlos.
   Personally, I think the T-bird still owns the plate races...and will
   win their share this year...especially given the fact that the still
   outnumber the entire GM contingent...though not the 2-1 margin
   they've had in past years.

 This year that seemed to be true, as there were a lot off cars capable

assistant: Hiya Mike,
 It's not just impounded per se - the team gets $100,000 for the use of
 the car, and gets it back after next year's Daytona 500. Not that that
 will help them win any races with it during the current season. I would
 suspect however that the car's sponsor would love the idea of their car
 and logo being in such a high-visibility environment away from the race
 track.

wanting to get one of the newer systems (N64, Saturn, Playstation) I would

because of the fact it uses cartridges instead of cd-rom.  The cartridge only
holds about 8 megs of information compared to the 500+ megs a cd-rom can
store.  The N64 also has cheap music/sound because as everyone knows Cd's
offer much better sound.  If you would like me to get information on any
system, I would be happy to.
