The NASCAR Winston Racing Series is the country's leading program for weekly short track racing that features nearly 100 of the best short tracks divided into 10 geographic regions. Featuring both paved and dirt surfaces of various lengths, the NASCAR Winston Racing Series provides competitors with regional and national recognition, and a $1.3 million championship point fund, including $1 million from series sponsor Winston, as well as contributions from contingency sponsors to create the largest payout in weekly short track racing.

Sunny completed her second season of competition in the Late Model Stock Car division of NASCAR Winston Racing Series at Caraway Speedway in Asheboro, NC. The team had an abbreviated season due to lack of funding but had some strong runs with her highest finish being 6th.

In '98 she raced the #32 Monte Carlo at Southampton Motor Speedway, Langley Speedway and South Boston. Her best finish in her rookie season was a 7th place at Southampton.
