At the end of 1995, superstar driver Dick Trickle was without a NASCAR Cup ride. Enter Brittan Schnell, former team manager for Lake Speed who had just finalized a sponsorship deal to enter a car in the 1996 Daytona 500.
But it didn't come together until just after the new year! How in the world can they get a team together in just under 14 days? And in time for Daytona no less! Back in 1996, a team had a chance to make it on this short of notice! But the way NASCAR rules are set up now, an enterprise like could "never happen again!"
