Ron Fellows may have Cup deal

I hear that a Toronto Star article by Mark Zwolinksi the following was reported on June 16th: “Ron Fellows, who has been successful in NASCAR’s Truck Division, and is readying for an upcoming Busch Series race, has interest from at least three teams to make the step up to Winston Cup. “I hope to have a deal this week”, Fellows said.

A deal is in the works with Buzz McCall, Fellows’ former team owner in the Trans Am series, who campaigns the Caterpillar-backed Winston Cup team with David Green as driver. But McCall recently dismissed Green and replaced him on a temporary basis with Hut Stricklin. McCall then contacted Fellows to run his Winston Cup car at Watkins Glen, N.Y., for the Aug. 9 Bud at the Glen race.”(thanks Birdman)(6-21-98)
