((Stacy Compton has rounded the track in many vehicles.
It all started at the age of six in a go-cart.
That led to a stint driving late models.
And in '96 some Winston Cup Races.
Now he's entering his second season on the NASCAR Truck Circuit with a new sponsor--Royal Crown.

But in January the Royal Crown team finished 30th in the first race of the season.
Compton had mechanical problems at the Walt Disney World Speedway.
He says they'll do a lot of testing from now until the next race in Homestead, Florida, on April fourth.
And Compton also plans to get some drive time in a late model race or two.
