I still have a spreadsheet of winners/polesitters, I can dig that up if that helps. 7. 83andJoe posted: 07.06.2013 - 4:08 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) #59 owner: Billy Ballew 8.

The farm store chain's sponsorship began in early 1992 and had been aboard Bowsher's Thunderbird for both of his ARCA titles. Bowsher would still have a good year, winning three races and finishing second in points, but sponsorship woes after losing it would lead to 1996 being his final full-time ARCA campaign. Quality Farm & Fleet was a growing brand at the time but after buying up another similar store it hit financial issues and went under, closing the last of its stores in early 2002 with its remains eaten up by Tractor Supply Company. 14.

It would be his only top-10 of the season and his second best finish in ARCA action overall. 15.

The sponsorship made it one more race, concluding next time out at Five Flags, before it parted ways with Bowsher team. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
