Mopar back in Winston Cup!!!!???...I hope so!!!! Rumors, Strong Rumors, Reality: Part 2 Glen Grissom & Ron Lemasters, Jr. September 29, 1999 -- The Winston Cup motorsports media feeding frenzy continues about the future employment of the #24's crewchief, and more details are likely to become public before this weekend's race at Martinsville, perhaps even this afternoon. Hendrick Motorsports has scheduled a team meeting for today to update the troops. The latest rumors swirling around the Winston Cup grapevine center around Evernham's office effects and tools have left the Hendrick complex, and his chief wrench Ed Guzzo will also soon be departing the #24. Brian Whitesell will reportedly fully assume the crewchief duties on the #24, and it's highly unlikely that Evernham will be at Martinsville this weekend. He's supposedly working to own and lead a Dodge Intrepid team into the Winston Cup ranks in 2001. According to people familiar with the situation, the DaimlerChrysler/Evernham linkage isn't far-fetched. Indeed, at the Las Vegas Craftsman Truck race last Friday night, Dodge team personnel were prepped with a list of written questions they could be asked by intrepid (pardon the pun) members of the media, along with suggested "official" answers. Four of the written questions and responses had to do with Ray Evernham, and the answer to each was "you'll have to ask Rick Hendrick or Ray Evernham about that." The list also contained questions/answers about the type of car Dodge would be running in Cup, when they might announce their involvement - basically giving their teams a short course in getting media savvy about such a volatile issue. Purportedly, an announcement on their future Cup racing effort will be forthcoming by Dodge no later than Oct. 31. The current overheated garage buzz has five teams being pursued by the manufacturer, including Joe Gibbs Racing, Petty Enterprises, Penske South Racing, Cal Wells' new team and Evernham's new team. The sum that Chrysler would pay to change allegiance or start a new Dodge team is being bandied about at $20 million per team (i.e. Gibbs Racing would get $40 million to switch to Dodge Intrepids). One could understand why Evernham would be attracted to such a new start-up venture. He basically built the #24 team from the ground up, has been rebuffed in assuming comprehensive management responsibility at Hendrick Motorsports, and now has the opportunity to own and manage his own team. The resources potentially available to him and other Chrysler converts are formidable and would allow them to use next year to fully prepare before formally entering Winston Cup in 2001. One such example of this could be that Penske South could utilize its Ilmor connections to help develop a DaimlerChrysler engine for Cup racing. Ilmor designs and builds all the Mercedes-Benz engines for Formula 1 and CART racing, and Roger Penske is an equal partner in the Ilmor firm, which has a world-wide reputation for engine excellence. This story will continue to percolate through the final seven races of the '99 Cup season or until Dodge makes its formal announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
