From Tom of theStock Car Racing MagazineSite: “Received a fax from Kent Johnson, Director of Media Relations for Tyler Jet Motorsports, new owners of the #17 Winston Cup team formerly owned by Darrell Waltrip, responding to our rumor report on 5-27-98. Johnson writes, “Waltrip is under contact with Tyler Jet Motorsports for the final 14 Winston Cup events of 1998 (beginning at the Brickyard 400 ON August 1), as well as the duration of 1999. Any rumor of his (DW) going to Dale Earnhardt Inc. is just that…rumor.”(Stock Car Racing)(6-1-98)
