Bill Davis is a car owner [#22/#23/#27] juggling a lot of balls at the moment. And he has much more on his plate than just watching Scott Wimmer in his top [#22] car. Davis is also trying to put together a package for his second team, now that Kenny Wallace is expected to step back to either the Busch or truck series, though still running for Davis. And Davis will be playing next season without any official factory support. General Manager Mike Brown concedes that a lot of things are still up in the air, even this close to the end of the season. "On the Cup side, we're actively pursuing a second sponsor (for the team Wallace drives for). We have a couple of good leads, and we'll see how it plays out. Stacker2 (the current sponsor) is about to announce its intentions; they're remaining with us and Kenny, just with a change in how they market their products in the Winston Cup series. So if we get our second Cup deal done, there will probably be a new driver in that." There is speculation that it may be Steve Park. But, said Brown, "We wouldn't shy away from bringing another rookie in the fold," even though Scott Wimmer, the man taking Ward Burton's place, has only half a dozen Cup races under his belt. "There are some good rookies out there. A lot of times the sponsor dictates the driver, because of the marketing they're looking for."(in part from the Winston Salem Journal)(10-31-2003)
