We mostly say two fifty four but two five four is acceptable as well. Two hundred and fifty four never acceptable.

Bill McGowen would be the one to ask but so far as I know the primary sponsor for 1997 and 1998 was BASF.
Did AAA sponsor a team?
Bet it was probably BAE...who has been one of our sponsors for a while...but then we should have moved back up again the next year.
