My ignorance comes back to haunt me
In one of many embarassing moments here at The Spotter, I got nailed by a commenter for not knowing that Mike Garvey is a short-track ace.
The question I posed in that post -- Who is Mike Garvey?" -- is now answered this way:
He's the guy replacing Hermie Sadler behind the wheel of the No. 66 car.
If you want to celebrate Garvey's new job, go here.
For the record, Carl Long is still The Official Field Filler of The Spotter. But we could be talked into making Garvey and Long co-TOFFOTS.

Hermie Sadler is smooth. Remember, this was his team (the 02) for several years, and this year he sells the team and is hired as driver. Then, he leaves, and now will drive another car, the 92. Wonder how much money he made doing what he did?

Hermie is used to selling cars. Doesn't his family have a car dealship in Emporia, VA?
I wish he had more on his resume than just the 2 wins at Orange County Speedway (one of my favorite tracks by the way for Busch races).

Yep. Sadler Auto Center. According to a Jayski post I found, Hermie's actually the owner.
Sadly, if you scroll through the Preowned Car section, they are not selling any low-milage yellow Ford Tauruses with a "Driven Only on Sunday!" sign on the windshield.
