Problem solved I edited it. Number 93, just like he ran in OTL. Problem was finding a picture of his car from that year. All I could find was a K&N series car

Busch Series Alltel 200 @ Rockingham, NC
The all Ford front row of Greg Biffle and Ryan Newman led the field to the green and it was Biffle who got the hole shot lead as they headed into turn one. Todd Bodine and Jeff Green managed to shuffle Newman back to 4th before the end of the first lap. Newman’s early struggles continued when on lap 3 he spun bringing out the first caution of the day. Simultaneously, the 55 of Mark Green was smoking heavily. Todd Bodine was able to win the race back to the the flag. Green’s crew raised up the hood and sent him back out there. The green came back out on lap 6 but would fly again after 2 laps. This time contact with Jay Sauter caused Marty Houston to break lose. Houston than over corrected the car and got into the wall. Trying to avoid the mayhem, Jeff Green also made contact with the outside wall. After 6 laps of yellow it was Todd Bodine who brought the field back to green.
The yellow would return on lap 21 as PJ Jones made hard contact with the wall in his Yellow Freight sponsored machine.
Mark Green, who had managed to lose 2 laps was able to outrace Todd Bodine back the stripe, getting one of his laps back. Meanwhile, Jones brought his car to the pits while it road was closed to get the damage serviced this drawing a penalty. Jeff Green pitted from the sixth position to service his damage too. Bill Hoff used the yellow as a chance to pull behind the garage and retire for the day, joining Marty Houston as those who expired early. Before the green would come Jason Rudd would also retire on lap 26 officially.
On that lap 26 restart, Bodine and Biffle dove into turn one ahead of the lap back Mark Green. They were followed by Bobby Hamilton Jr., Kenny Wallace, and Scott Wimmer. It took 6 laps of green flag action for Hamilton Jr. to get back up to Biffle and make his way into second. Meanwhile, deeper in the field, the RCR Chevs of Harvick and Jim Sauter started moving their way up and sat in side the top 20 at 18 and 19 respectfully.
The ensuing phase of the race was an extended green flag run that would cover just under 100 laps. By lap 35, Mike McLaughlin, Kevin Grubb, and Jeff Purvis all got around Scott Wimmer dropping him to 8th. McLaughlin as moved up during this phase as he was up to third on lap 60. Green flag pit stops began to cycle through on lap 67 with Larry Foyt hitting the pits first. During the pit cycle, Randy LaJoie dropped fuel pressure and the team had to spend some time with the hood up to fix the issue. On lap 93, Sean Studer engine let go ending his day but, he noticed the failure before putting down any fluid and the race stayed green. The very next lap Todd Bodine surrendered the lead to complete his stop. Also during this round of green flag stops, Andy Santerre’s team failed to get the left side tires on tight thus costing him 2 laps.
When all the stops were done, Todd Bodine reassumed the lead on lap 104 with Kevin Grubb in second, Scott Wimmer in third, Jeff Green in fourth, and Greg Biffle rounding out the top 5. Kevin Harvick and Jim Sauter managed to work their way into the top 12 by lap 110 and Ryan Newman was also marching through the field after his spin early on, as he was back up inside the top 15.
The fourth yellow came out on lap 126 when Ashton Lewis slowed up and 9th place Tony Raines checked up and was hit by Rich Bickle. The caution brought the majority of the lead lap cars down pit road for tires and fuel. After the stops the Top 10 were Todd Bodine, Jeff Green, Kevin Grubb, Bobby Hamilton Jr., Greg Biffle, Kenny Wallace, Jeff Purvis, Scott Wimmer, Jim Sauter, and Kevin Harvick. They took the green on lap 130 and before one more lap was in the books, Grubb was able to capitalize on a bad restart by Jeff Green to take second place. While the battled, the lap down cars of Tim Fedewa and Mike McLaughlin were able to slide in front of them giving Bodine a buffer. Also on the restart, Wallace was able to challenge Biffle for 5th, eventually taking the spot. The caution waved for a fifth time on lap 145 for debris and while racing back to the stripe, Tim Fedewa managed to get his lap back.
Once again, the field took on tires and this round of stops shook up the running order. The race would resume under green on lap 148 with Ryan Newman as the new leader because he stayed out when the rest of the leaders pitted. However, he dropped to 4th by the end of the first lap back to action. Jeff Green, Todd Bodine, and Kenny Wallace were the beneficiaries of Newman’s slide back. Behind Newman, Bobby Hamilton Jr. rounded out the top 5. The RCR duo of Kevin Harvick and Jim Sauter took the green just after them in 6th and 7th. Meanwhile, Kevin Grubb, Greg Biffle and Jeff Purvis finishes off the top 10. By lap 165, Harvick marched his way to 4th behind Green, Bodine, and Wallace. Biffle sat in 5th. The rest of the top 10 had Jim Sauter in 6th; Bobby Hamilton Jr. was 7th; Scott Wimmer was 8th; 9th was Kevin Grubb; with Jeff Purvis in 10th. Meanwhile, Newman continued to fall back and was now the last car on the lead lap in 16th.
Lap back traffic proved to be an issue as Jeff Green go tied up by Ryan Newman; which allowed Todd Bodine to reel him
In. Once there, they three went three wide and slight contact was made between Green and Newman. Bodine was able to squirt past on the bottom. No significant damage was done to either Green or Newman’s cars. Just after that action, with 15 laps to go, Scott Wimmer got loose and got into the wall. Newman, was able to get back around Bodine coming to the stripe and was back on the lead lap. The yellow saw most of the leaders except Jeff Green, Jamie McMurray, and Elton Sawyer pit. Kevin Harvick was first off pit road and lined up 4th on the restart. While Kenny Wallace lined up 5th. Todd Bodine, Greg Biffle, Jim Sauter, Bobby Hamilton Jr., and Jeff Purvis rounded out the top 10.
The race returned to Green with 8 laps to go and immediately, Elton Sawyer dropped back to 11th. Next, Todd Bodine looked underneath Kenny Wallace. In turn 3, Kevin Harvick and Bodine went three wide with Jamie McMurray with Bodine coming to the straightaway ahead of Harvick as McMurray could hold a fast line on the older tires. Next lap, Bodine worked underneath Green for the lead while Biffle passed McMurray and Wallace. Over the next lap, Bodine gapped Green who was now under attack from Harvick, Biffle, and Wallace. Meanwhile, McMurray continued to fall back and was now outside the top 10.
With just 5 laps to go, Newman would make a bold move to go three wide in an effort to clear Tim Fedewa. He wound up drifting high on turn exit and clipped Fedewa’s front end. As Fedewa lost control, he drifted high and collected Elton Sawyer before hitting the outside wall. Due to the banking in the turn one, Fedewa’s car the slides back down the track and wrecks into David Green. As the field came back to the stripe and got slowed up in turn one, Jamie McMurray spun out Kevin Grubb. To clean up the wreck and still have a green flag finish, NASCAR put out the red flag.
So the stage was set for a 2 lap shoot-out when the race went green. The pack went off into turn one led by Todd Bodine, Kevin Harvick, Greg Biffle, Kenny Wallace, and Jeff Green. Green would get passed by Jim Sauter before the came back to the white flag. That is exactly how the top 5 would finish. Meanwhile, Green would also be passed by Bobby Hamilton Jr., Jeff Purvis, and Rich Bickle before he took the checkered flag, relegating to 9th.

Sorry for the delay. Work has been killing me. Here’s the second Cup race.
Duralube 400 @ North Carolina Speedway Rockingham,NC
The day started with a lengthy delay due to rain. When the field took the green, Jeff Gordon and Steve Park settled single file at the front going into turn 1 with Tony Stewart taking 3 on the high side. As the field sailed off into turn 3, Ron Hornaday Jr made contact with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt Jr, was sent up the track and into Kenny Wallace, who was on the outside alongside him. Mike Wallace and Jimmy Spencer got stacked up behind them and also took damage to their cars. This brought out the yellow. The Wallaces took their cars behind the wall for repairs, while Hornaday and Spencer managed to fix their slight amount of damage on both road. As for Earnhardt Jr, his day was over as there was too much damage done to fix at the track. Before the race could resume, a brief shower delayed the green flag. Mike Wallace managed to get repairs done after 17 laps (all ran under yellow).
On the lap before the race went green again, several cars further back in the pack decided to top off fuel and make adjustments. Among them were Mike Skinner, Mike Dillion, John Andretti, Terry Labonte, Joe Nemechek, Bobby Hamilton, Robert Pressley, Andy Houston,
and Stacy Compton.
When the field came to take green on lap 32, the top ten was led by Jeff Gordon and Steve Park. Behind them were Tony Stewart, Ricky Rudd, Johnny Benson, Bobby Labonte, Jeff Burton, Jerry Nadeau, Brett Bodine, and Michael Waltrip. As they charged into turns one and two, Labonte went to the inside of Benson putting him into the top 5. The next lap Ward Burton was able to overtake Waltrip for 10th.
