Two years after the disbandment, Dwight is the first Medders cousin to have a solo project. Faron is the other. Dwight had his first single, "I Need a Miracle (Change Her Mind)."

Jennifer and Lorrie ran into Cavin Councilor from Flint, Michigan, same as Paul Krause and Craig Morton, the sponsor said "Mothers Against Drunk Drivers," Lorrie said, "It's like the first line of Hank Williams Jr.'s "I'm for Love" lyrics." Jennifer dated Cavin, and Lorrie was still with Tracy talking about the Marla Talks TV show from last year. David Keith from Kentucky won the race. Tracy's brother Lee was the crew chief for Cavin, and Jimmy Langston works with Mark Gibson. Jennifer remembers Tracy in 1989 where he had a sweep in Talladega. The first was in May where she attended, and had a picture taken by her mom, and Jennifer wasn't there in the last race. In 2002, Jimmy was killed with his sister Pam of the car accide...
