 Pepsi 400 added to No Bull 5 lineup WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (Oct, 16, 2000) R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. and its Winston brand have announced the lineup for the 2001 Winston No Bull 5, and there is one notable change to the bonus program. While not moving to a new venue, the Winston No Bull 5 will be contested under the lights at Daytona International Speedway in July's running of the Pepsi 400. In each of the previous three seasons, Daytona has played host to the Winston No Bull 5 during its annual running of the season-opening Daytona 500. "Winston is very happy with the Winston No Bull 5 program and its current mix of tracks," said Rick Sanders, president of RJR's Sports Marketing Enterprises. "While the move from the Daytona 500 to the Pepsi 400 at Daytona will add a second night race to the schedule, the primary reason for the change is to give fans more time to get their entries in and become eligible for each Winston No Bull 5 event." The five races comprising the Winston No Bull 5 in 2001 are, in chronological order: the Las Vegas 400 (March 4); the Coca-Cola 600 (May 27) at Charlotte, N.C.; the Pepsi 400 (July 7) at Daytona Beach, Fla.; the Chevrolet Monte Carlo 400 (Sept. 8) at Richmond, Va., and the 500-mile event at Talladega Superspeedway on Oct. 21. The Winston No Bull 5 will offer $1 million to drivers in each Winston No Bull 5 event next season. In addition, fans once again will have the opportunity to win $1 million at each event. Eligible drivers win $1 million by capturing a Winston No Bull 5 event. If a qualified driver wins a Winston No Bull 5 event, the driver and his fan each win a $1 million bonus. Drivers will once again become eligible to compete for the Winston No Bull 5 bonus by finishing in the top five at the previous Winston No Bull 5 event. |
