Where is ... Chad Little? (cont'd)

Little had a successful Busch Series career, running second to Johnny Benson for the 1995 championship. Despite falling short of the title, Little's season had been one of the most incredible in the history of the division.

Never before had a Busch Series regular won the season-opening race at Daytona, until Little made it to Victory Lane that year. He would go on to post wins at the circuit's biggest superspeedway -- Talladega -- and a week later, at its smallest bulling -- South Boston. He won at Charlotte, almost always a track where Cup stars had run roughshod over their Busch Series counterparts.

In all, Little posted six wins in 1995. They would be the only six wins of his NASCAR career. So what was different that magical season?

"How do you put your finger on it?" Little began. "I don't think you even can today. It's all relative to the driver and his successes at the time. Everything just clicked for us that year ... the handling of the car, the engine program was phenomenal. Everything just clicked. I don't think you can put your finger on it. Sometimes, it's there, and sometimes, it's not."

To this day, Little is satisfied with what he accomplished in NASCAR as a driver.

"Very satisfied," Little concluded. "I would've liked to have won the Busch championship and it would've been great to win a Cup race, but I had a few top fives and almost won the Busch championship. So, to me, it was very satisfying. I wanted to race in the Cup series -- that was my goal -- and I wanted to be competitive.

"We were able to do that for several years, and I made a great living at it. Now, I'm turning my focus to something else. I was always able to do that, and I think my education helped me do that. I'm very satisfied with it."
