Who's trying this year and also who was the last one? Couldn't have been Wendell Scott because he retired more than 20 years ago, didn't he? Willie T. Ribbs, maybe?

Bill Lester is the one trying this weekend, and Ribbs was the last.

Haven't heard of him. Who's he driving for? I hope not Hendricks because I'd like to root for him to do well.

Bill Lester will be qualifying in a Bill Davis racecar. I have met him before and he is a class act. I hope he makes it.

Bill's been driving for Bill Davis in the Truck Series the last couple of years. Before that he was part of Bobby Hamilton's truck team. He got involved in NASCAR through that Dodge Diversity Program once upon a time... You haven't heard of him because he hasn't had much success.
