“The young man who helped put some much-needed zip in Dick Trickle’s No. 90 car may not be long for the team owned by Richmond’s Junie Donlavey. Crew chief Tommy Baldwin said yesterday he has been approached by Ricky Craven, who drives the No. 25 car owned by powerful Hendrick Motorsports, with an offer to serve him in the same capacity. Craven’s present crew chief, Andy Graves, appears bound for the Hendrick-owned No. 5 car driven by Terry Labonte now that Gary DeHart has been forced to give up his post. (Skip Wood, Richmond Times-Dispatch) AND HEILIG-MEYERS officials flew in here yesterday to talk with Tom, to try to persuade him not to take the job with Rick Hendrick and Ricky Craven. Baldwin is to meet with Hendrick men in Charlotte today to discuss the offer and says he will decided Tuesday what to do.”(JournalNow)(10-13-97)
