Dua Lipa In 2022, the singer, now 28, announced on stage that she had quit smoking to keep herself healthy for her Future Nostalgia tour
69 drivers showed up for their shot to make the Daytona 500, two of them (Neil Bonnett and Rodney Orr) died, one (Jimmy Means) retired due to Neil Bonnett's passing, and 24 others were sent home to try another year~ Stricklin's car was a turd for the entirety of the race, and he had to settle for a 33rd place finish, 26 laps off the pace of eventual race winner, Sterling Marlin, who won his first Cup race driving the #4 Kodak Chevrolet after 279 attempts~ He beat out former Kodak driver, Ernie Irvan, who was driving the #28 Texaco Ford, Terry Labonte (who was driving the #5 Kellogg's car for the first time), Jeff Gordon, and the wily veteran Morgan Shepherd finished out the top 5, driving the #21 Citgo Ford~ The following week at Rockingham for the "Goodwrench 500", Stricklin was again slow (this will be a recurring theme during this post), qualifying 24th, and finishing 26th, fourteen laps off the pace of race winner, Rusty Wallace, who destroyed the field, leading 347 of 492 laps on his way to an easy victory of Sterling Marlin~ The win was Rusty's third in a row at Rockingham, and his first win driving a Ford~ Rick Mast was 3rd in the #1 Skoal Classic Ford, followed by Mark Martin, and Ernie Irvan~ Things were smokin' alright, but it was fail smoke~ At this point, one would assume things couldn't get much worse for the highly hyped new team, but the Smokin' Joe's team was just getting started, and they proved that by failing to qualify for the "Pontiac Excitement 400" @ Richmond, in only the third race of the season~ Stricklin was able to bounce back somewhat at Atlanta, for the "Purolator 500", and although he qualified 39th, he was able to drag his car up to a 17th place finish, which at this point, must have felt like a win
