#81 Square-D team crew chief Gil Martin and Team Manager Eddie Jones were both released 5-29-97. I had just got done watching “This Week in NASCAR” when I heard. Ironically Kenny Wallace was on the show(taped live Wednesday’s) and said everything was going good and he and Gil had a lot of plans. David Ifft(formally the #99 BGN crew chief) will crew chief the car this weekend at Dover but he doesn’t want the job full-time. Team owner Filbert Martocci felt leadership and harmony in the team was lacking. The team also hired veteran engine builder Keith Almond and plan on having their own engine program in the near future(5-30-97)
