Matt Kenseth's 1998 LYCOS BGN Monte Carlo - First Win!!

decals by 3 Amigos!



Quote from Cal:
"From what I have found on this car, there were no other decals on the hood or trunk. If you remember, Kraft left this car after 1997 and they were looking for a sponsor all the way up to Daytona. From what I remember, with the help of Jack Roush, the Reiser family got LYCOS to sponsor them for Daytona, a one race deal. He finished really well in 7th place.

The following week at Rockingham he was not going to have a sponsor. I would bet that talks with LYCOS were heating up. Word is that as a thank you to LYCOS for the Daytona sponsorship, John Reiser decided to put the decals on the car the following week as well. The rest is history. Matt bumps Tony Stewart on the last lap and wins the race. This race was Matt's first BUSCH series win.

LYCOS then signed on for the entire year and the car became all black. "

(Note from Les: Thanks to Cal for developing the graphics for this set, then prodding me until they were finally ready for his use. We are pleased we are going to have a chance to make them available to anyone else interested. Thanks again, Cal!)
