will have to name it," adds Mark.  Earl¹s best finish this year was a
seventh in Milwaukee.  "We will test it on Monday, probably in Hickory and
make sure that nothing will fall off of it.  We have to leave Tuesday for
Nashville, so we won¹t have that much time with it.," says Mark.

Named because it is different than any other  truck in the L&R Motorsports
garage.  Last raced "Step Child"  at Martinsville, where it blew its rear
gear and lost several laps, eventually making it back out and finishing
27th.
