Busch Series Career

W*on made his Busch Series debut in 1998, making a one-off start at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the #49 Hoiles Motorsports Chevy. W*on qualified 17th and despite spinning out early on the 73rd lap, he stayed in that vicinity for the entire race, and he ended the race with an 18th-place finish.

W*on qualified for five races in 1999. Running the #49 car again, W*on went out again at Atlanta and did in his season debut as he had in his series debut: finish a solid 18th. W*on made one other run with the team in 1999, this time coming at Lowe's, where W*on slid a little to a 25th-place finish. However, the team folded without sponsorship and W*on moved to the #96 Island Oasis Chevy the other three races. W*on struggled to find chemistry with this team, only managing a best finish of 31st at Charlotte.

W*on still, though, had the ride for the full 2000 season. However, W*on only made three of the first six races, and the team split with W*on, and it would later dissolve a few months later. W*on only managed a pair of 33rds and a 35th in his starts, but did earn his best qualifying effort of his career at Bristol.

W*on only made one start in 2001, pairing with the same Hoiles team he had driven for in 1999. The team, back together for one race, started it at Darlington. W*on made it in the race at 35th, but struggled and finished in that same position.

W*on made his lone start in 2002 at Nazareth Speedway, making his first start with ORTEC Racing. He started 42nd, but his day was very short. On the first lap, W*on crashed and left the race before completing a lap in 43rd position.

W*on is credited to nine races in 2003, a welcome increase to W*on after some quiet years. He made three starts with ORTEC. He had a pair of 19th at Bristol and Nashville Superspeedway, as well as a 22nd at Kentucky. The other six came in Davis Motorsports's #70 and #0 Chevys. W*on's best finish with them was a 29th at Atlanta.

W*on had his busiest year in NASCAR was in 2004, when he once again split time with ORTEC and Davis Motorsports. For ORTEC, W*on managed to match his best career finish: 18th in the season opener at Daytona International Raceway. After ORTEC began shutting down after Texas, W*on moved to the #10 Race Girl Chevy for Davis Motorsports. Sadly for W*on, many of the first races were to park the car right after starting, though W*on did begin to run the full races later in the year. Once that happened, W*on had a best of 22nd at Nashville. His last career start to this point came at Darlington, when he finished 28th. W*on currently works at Merchants Distributors, Inc. in Hickory, NC.
