- In 1999 Ricky Craven signed on with SBIII Motorsports, a brand new team in NASCAR. Though he won a Winston West race for the team and led 2 laps, after 12 starts and failing to qualify for the Coca Cola 600, Craven was replaced by Loy Allen for 3 races, Sean Woodside for 1 race, and ultimately Hut Stricklin for 9 races.
One week after the team announced a 4 year sponsorship deal with Motorsports Safety Technologies, Stricklin was released and the team shut down due to lack of funding. The company had written a check that bounced when cashed by the team.
