Ppc Racing - Winston Cup Series

Winston Cup Series

ppc made its Cup racing debut in 1993 at the Mello Yello 500. Chad Little was the driver of the #19 Kleenex Ford, and finished 33rd. They would also run the 1994 Daytona 500 in the #97 Ford with sponsorship from Tracy Lawrence, where they finished 29th. In 1995, they had their best finish at Talladega Superspeedway, their second of two races. After making five 1996 races in the Sterling Cowboy Pontiac Grand Prix, ppc moved to the Cup Series full-time with Little in the John Deere car. Despite an eighth place finish at Bristol Motor Speedway, the team had trouble qualifying for races, and Pollex would sell the operation to Jack Roush in the final weeks of the season. (The team would eventually become Kurt Busch's 2004 Nextel Cup winning team, only to be sold to Latitude 43 Motorsports six years later and then folded.)

In 2005, ppc Racing returned to the Nextel Cup series with John Andretti driving the #14 VB Tobacco Products Ford. The team did not make it through the season, however, as VB folded and there was no other sponsorship to be found.
