1999 Stats and Facts:
        Nadeau posted the best finish of his career -- 11th -- in the 1999 season opener at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway.  Last week, he started 33rd in the TranSouth Financial 400 at Darlington Raceway and finished 40th after an early race accident put him four laps down and out of contention.  He is currently in 32nd position in the NASCAR Winston Cup points standings. 
During this weekend's events at Texas Motor Speedway, Nadeau will be followed by a film crew from The Learning Channel.  He will be the featured driver in an upcoming special tentatively titled "The Secret World of Stock Cars."

1998 Stats and Facts:
        Nadeau was unable to qualify for the NASCAR Winston Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway in 1998.  His highest finish in 1998 was 15th at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International.  His best starting position was at Sears Point (Sonoma, Calif.) Raceway where he posted the second-fastest speed in time trials.

Nadeau's Thoughts on Texas Motor Speedway:
"I haven't been able to race at Texas yet, but we tested there at the end of last year.  It was a really good test session for us and we learned a lot.  We are taking the car we won the Las Vegas Winston West race in to run this weekend.  It drives really well and it's really comfortable to me, so I think we'll be ready.  Liking the car you are driving is an important
key to a good run, and I really like driving a car that already knows it's way to victory lane"
