David commented with the following info:
I owned the number 7 celebrity challenge sedan from 1994. I bought it in 2006 and sold it in 2012 when I moved abroad.
The log book showed it was raced by Erik Smith (Detroit June 11, 1994) and Larry Miller (Des Moines July 4, 1994) at the two events Chrysler raced the car.
In 1994, Chrysler used the model year 1995 white sedans pictured above.

Like you said, I don't recognize most of the other names. These are the ones I recognized without searching them.
Marc
no, I already said I only recognized 2-6 in the Detroit race. Those reporters? Never heard of them. Crain I know, bout only because you mention his magazine connection, And I subscribe to one magazine from the Crain magazine company. You sure know a lot more of them than I ever will!
DeleteDetroit people have never shown up on my radar except maybe the car makers
