“There are strong indications Tabasco officials might pull the sponsorship from Hanscher before the end of the season and move it to another team. Roush has been talking to the company for several weeks, and if a move is made, he could be the choice. Bodine, according to those close to him, has been trying to put together a deal for Tabasco to sponsor a second Pontiac team with Rider. And Childress, according to sources close to his operation, is also in the negotiations for the Tabasco sponsorship. It is unclear what driver Hanscher might pick for the next tour stop at Pocono in two weeks. According to sources close to the situation, Wally Dallenbach and Morgan Shepherd both turned down offers to drive for Hanscher here.”(Mike Mulhern/JournalNow)
