Here’s a really off-the-wall rumor that we suspect will stay a rumor, but…. Wally Dallenbach is rumored to be in line for a ride with Richard Childress next year. That’s easy to believe as Childress and Dallenbach are close friends already. While common speculation is that Wally will drive a third car, others are saying he will drive the #3 car in 1999. The chances of this being wild speculation are rather high but remember that Earnhardt has already built facilities large enough to field a
half dozen cars if he wanted to, would undoubtedly be able to find a sponsor and has been passed a few times this year by the #1 car out of his own shops. I guess stranger things have happened.(Stock Car Racing Magazine Site/News.(6-24-98)
