      Some answers from earlier questions:

      Eureka Vacuum Cleaners... forgot I asked this earlier, but Jimmy Means is the answer.

      Northwestern Security Life... the very first sponsor for Rick Hendrick Motorsports, with crew chief Harry Hyde, and driver Geoff (not Geoffrey) Bodine.

      Lifebouy... one of a thousand sponsors that Dave Marcis has had, most of them being small dollar - short term deals.

      Slender You.... Someone earlier guessed Lee Faulk, who did drive for the team, but drove in the Busch series. The Cup driver I remember was Brad Teague. The car owner was Bob Clark from Tennessee, who ran several times at New Smyrna as a driver in his #81 cars, and won a feature there as an owner with Dirt Late Model standout Randy (The Dream) Weaver driving the 31 car. One cool thing about his cars, was the stripe seperating the light and dark colors of the paint scheme. If you look close, it's actually a tape measure!

      Auto Bell Car Wash... low-buck racer Mark Stahl carried these colors for a few races a year, including several Firecracker 400's.

      Dow Chemical... saw a correct answer on this one too. It was Richard Brickhouse's purple #99, that won the very first race at Talladega. I think Charlie Glotzbach was supposed to drive this car, and am almost sure that he did drive it in other places... but not sure if it was AFTER the Talladega race. This was the race that almost all of the top drivers refused to run and left the property the night before the race. Bobby Isaac was one of the few who stayed, but was instructed by car owner Nord Krauskopf that by all means, he was NOT to win that race.

      Keystone Beer... again, someone was right. Wally Dallenbach Jr. was the first Keystone driver, driving for Jack Rousch's first effort at a 2-car team. Mark Martin was the primary driver at the time.

      Chatanooga Chew.... David Pearson had the sponsorship behind him when he tried owning his own team. The plan was for him to get the team going in the right direction, then turn it over to son Larry who had won 2 Busch championships. Neither the team, nor Larry, ever got up to Cup speed and the whole thing faded away.

      Midwest Transport... former New Smyrna racer Dan Pardus had Midwest on his cars about 5 or 6 years ago. Neither one made it long. Dan now has quite a bit to do with the Little New Smyrna track for the Quarter Midget racers.

      Heilig-Meyers Furniture.... I think most remember Dick Trickle in this car, but Bobby Hillin was first. I still see some replays occasionally of Dale Jarrett heaving his helmet at (and almost into) this car.
