Ultra Motorsports owner Jim Smith said Saturday that Andy Houston, who has driven a few races in Ultra's No. 2 Dodge in the NASCAR Truck series this season, will return to the team full time in 2004.
Smith also said that Ted Musgrave, who is second in points with one race remaining in Smith's No. 1 Dodge, will return to that team next season as well.

Smith may also field a part-time third Truck entry, running at least 10 races with driver Tracy Hines next season. Hines would drive the No. 7, a research and development team run in conjunction with Dodge Motorsports.


Very good to see. He should've been in this truck last year, but now is better than never.

If I remember right didn't Houston drive the McDonalds car 2 or 3 years ago. I don't think he did very well. Must have done pretty good in Trucks to pick up a full time ride.

Yeah, Houston ran the McDonalds car in 2001 until he got fired. Than he ran the Herzog car last year for 3 races in the Busch series before he was fired while 11th in points. He was very successful while running the CTS back in the late 90s and 2000.
